I have been around this resort. Expect deafening silence around here. Life comes to a standstill. There are homes around the resort, but with few people. The sleepy, hilly area is generally underpopulated. You hardly see any movements even within the resort itself. 

From the hill on which Apex Resort is located, the whole of Lake Nakuru is clearly visible. It's a beautiful sight to behold, especially early in the morning or in the evening. 

Hyrax Hill, where I understood there's a museum, is also in view right across the resort.  There are many other beautiful hills away.

I took a walk through the woods surrounding the resort. Farmers worked on their little farms in the forest, weeding or uprooting yellowing beans. They generally spoke Kikuyu. They readily showed me the path to take across the hill. There are winding roads and paths throughout the area.

The Menengai Forest Station isn't far away from this lodge. It's a walking distance. I took a road I learned headed to a place called "Crater." But I got tired. Fortunately, I stumbled upon a little park.

A really nice, peaceful park near the Menengai Forest Station. It has no name, but it became my favorite quantum of solace for the period I was in this area. Apart from the occasional motorbikes and vehicles, there's hardly anything to make noise. The birds sang in the trees in the small park, and the grass was lush. There are 4 plaster/cement seats in the park, each facing a different direction.

I returned to the spot the next day to sit and watch the trees and hear the birds. I was alone all the time. Talk of a ghost park. Nobody joined me, though there were occasional passersby heading to the beans and maize farms behind the park, and once four youths jogging on the road facing the park got into the park, stretched and did some press-ups for a while and then resumed jogging on the road. But the few empty bottles and food wrappers around the plaster seats were a good indication the park does have visitors. 

At one time, I saw a bunch of tall, youthful forest guards slithering through the woods quietly, carrying guns and rungus. Possibly from some mission to catch illegal loggers. The silence here is deafening. The silence would only be broken by the motorbike taxis ferrying passengers to "Crater."

I named the park "Ghost Park" because I couldn't believe such a nice place was mostly empty or deserted. But then, the area receives few visitors because there are no attractions worth writing home about, apart from the forest. The locals certainly don't need to come to the park: it offers them nothing new. You come to this area if you long for peace and quiet and to be with raw nature. It's also safe. I wandered deep into the forests all alone.

I walked to the furthest end of the park and saw a couple of three-stone cookers — a sign that some eventful activities happen here occasionally. Maybe weddings, community gatherings, etc. There were also two makeshift pit latrines walled with leaves. I used one cautiously, my eyes darting everywhere, fearing some big snake might suddenly come out of the pit.

The view of lake Nakuru from this resort is spectacular. You can literally see the whole of Nakuru town. The unfortunate bit is their food and service. They are extremely slow!!!! Way too slow. We had mbuzi fry but the meat wasn’t as tender as we expected. Personally I was disappointed. Am yet to visit a restaurant/resort that hasn’t perfected on their mbuzi fry. I think maybe I was expecting too much from them. Well. 

Average

These grounds gives your a birds eye view over Nakuru town and Lake Nakuru aswel, its a breath taking point to unwind on a sunday afternoon. Excellent pork or chicken. And when darkness falls? Oooh, the lights keeping the city alive just makes everything more beautiful
