Nakuru is generally a secure place to visit and enjoy the fresh breath from the Lake Nakuru National Park.
The town's CBD is also a place you can walk without fears of getting robbed.
However, there are places, in the outskirts of the town, you need to be careful while visiting.
1. Kivumbini
The Nakuru County Government-owned estate is ranked among the leading in matters crime and is known as a center of operation for mobile fraudsters popularly known as 'confirm group'.
Also, it is rich with liquor dens, making it a targeted area by police officers from the nearby Bondeni Police station. Officers usually conduct abrupt swoops.
During such raids, it is easy to get arrested as mtego wa panya huingia waliomo na wasiokuwemo!
2. Railways
Nakuru Railways estate neighbours the Railways Police Station.
Along the fences of the station is a stone lining where you will always find idle while the time away.
It is a risky place to walk around as police can strike any time.
3. Fire
Fire Estate was initially a residential area for the now-defunct Municipal Council of Nakuru firefighters.
Until now, it remains the water point for the county water engines and the parking yard for the vehicles.
It has, also, several drinking holes where addicts go to quench their thirst and 'remove lock'.
AP officers, from the nearby Administration Police Quarters, usually conduct raids at the drinking holes and you can easily find yourself inside a Landcruiser for being 'drunk and disorderly'.
