In Nakuru, just past the posh Naka estate is Manyani estate.

Is there a story unfolding in your community? Let Hivisasa know

Manyani is adjacent to the Lake Nakuru National Park and it borrows its name from a corrupted Swahili word for monkeys.

Residents here live with baboons which leave the park in such of food in peoples’ homes.

“They do not fear. If you leave your kitchen open they will come in and eat everything. They also join you in the dining table for your delicious meal,” Esther Njoki said.

Many of the baboons come with their young ones patched on the back.

But it is the male baboons that have become an eyesore to women and children in the area.

"These big males ones are cheeky and dangerous. They usually tease women and girls. When you go after it, it will wink at you and call you through gestures. They do no fear women,” Marryane Wambui said.

Wambui said one day, one baboon grabbed a girl's breasts in the neighbourhood.

“Ziko na tabia mbaya sana,” she added.

In December 2017, a ten-year-old boy was badly injured by a baboon that attacked him at his home in Lake View estate, Nakuru town.

The boy’s mother Margaret Wangui, said her son was attacked and injured on his left leg while coming from a shop. Residents now call on Kenya Wildlife Service to act on the amorous baboons.
