Baboons sneak out of L Nakuru Park, take over Naka Estate

A troop of baboons perches on rooftops and roams freely around homes in Naka Estate, Nakuru County.

The primates who stray from the nearby Lake Nakuru National Park, have increasingly become a nuisance raiding kitchens, snatching fruits, and intimidating residents.

Locals say while such visits are not new, the current wave feels more like a takeover.

They even steal tooth brushes
Destroyed food stocks
A little play after the raid.
And some groomimg too.
Ready to take on members of the fourth estate. 
Come catch me if you can.
I heard something good cooking…
