About 16 kilometres off the busy Mombasa Highway at Mtito Andei, is a 200-acre farm that borders the Tsavo East National Park. The farm is currently under preparation for large-scale castor farming.
In this wild vastness, there are only two farms of such a scale. The other one is a flower farm. Human settlement here is sparse, the roads are narrow, and the temperatures go upwards of 30 degrees Celsius on a daily basis.
