Visit Makalia Falls
A waterfall on the southern end of lake Nakuru national park, along one of the rivers that flow into the lake. It has a drop of about 10 m off a sheer cliff, a large plunge pool. Its one of the places in the park where you can step out of the vehicle.
Makalia falls is spectacular for viewing, just watching the water from the cliff, coupled with bird sounds and the roar of the falls is a delightful scene.
Vist the Baboon Cliff
This popular viewpoint and a lunch spot has spectacular views of the lake, with some fine aerial vistas down onto the flooded lake shore. Baboons, however, are a problem and don't mind raiding vehicles, whether you're inside or not, for food scraps.
