Hustle Gang: Fred Obachi Machoka's highs and lows ranching in arid Kajiado County

Veteran broadcaster Fred Obachi Machoka shares the journey of setting up the now famous Fred’s Ranch, a classy 15-acre ranch that has hosted high-profile guests including President Uhuru Kenyatta.

Magnificent. That’s the first thought that comes to mind when you visit Fred’s Ranch located in the serene escarpments of Kisaju along the Kitengela-Namanga road at Isinya, Kajiado County. The 15-acre ranch is a sight to behold: neatly trimmed lawns, voluptuous high-grade cows mowing peacefully in the parlour, an enviable orchard filled with succulent fruits and the icing on the cake is the swanky cowboy-themed resort. This is agri-tourism at its best and even the Head of State President Uhuru Kenyatta has sampled the ranch’s finesse.
