Baboon Cliff Viewpoint

Baboon Cliff rises on the western edge of Lake Nakuru, offering what many consider the single best viewpoint in any Kenyan national park. From the cliff's edge at 1,900 metres, the entire lake spreads out below — a shimmer of pink when flamingos are present, ringed by the Rift Valley escarpment. Troops of olive baboons forage along the cliff road, and Verreaux's eagles nest on the rock faces. The euphorbia forest on the approach is one of the largest stands of candelabra euphorbia in East Africa.
