Residents’ nightmare as rare visitors come calling, wreak havoc

Nakuru, Kenya: Lake Nakuru National Park is a sight to behold. The park has recently been enlarged partly to provide sanctuary for the black rhino, one of the largest concentrations in the country. This undertaking has necessitated a fence - to keep out poachers rather than to restrict the movement of wildlife.

The park is home to lions, cheetahs, leopards, monkeys and baboons among others, the latter being seen much more frequently in recent times. The park also has large sized pythons that inhabit the dense woodlands, and can often be seen crossing the roads or dangling from trees.
