Baboon Cliff Viewpoint
Baboon Cliff
A cliff lookout on the western shore of Lake Nakuru National Park, overlooking the whole lake and the flocks of pink flamingos along its shore.
Baboon Cliff lies on the western shore of Lake Nakuru National Park and is the park's most popular viewpoint. From the clifftop you can see the entire lake, the flamingos and pelicans along the shore, and, in the distance, the Menengai crater. Baboons and rock hyraxes often gather on the cliff rocks, and visitors can stop to rest and take photos. The site is reached by safari vehicle inside the national park, with access included in the park entry fee. It is often visited together with the Out of Africa viewpoint and Makalia Falls. Do not feed the baboons, as they will snatch food right out of your hands.
