The ongoing drought has pushed tens of wild animals from their habitats to homes, private farms, and major roads in Naivasha as cases of human-wildlife conflict continued to rise.

The most affected are Hellsgate and Mt National parks, where wild animals have strayed into homes and farms in search of water and pastures.
