As the evening sun slowly sinks beneath the horizon of gently rolling Chyulu hills of Makueni County and darkness rapidly taking over, the little but famously known town, Mtito Andei comes back to life once again after the day’s redundant hours. Mtito Andei a town located along Nairobi Mombasa highway, 231km from Nairobi and 171km to Mombasa is perhaps more famous as a stopover town for travelers going to or from the Coast. At daytime, the sunny town is less dynamic except for the passengers taking refreshments and meals before proceeding with their expeditions.
In fact one will be tempted to conclude that the diminutive town is as drowsy at night as it is during the daytime hours. That is not the case. As the night hours draws near, buses, passengers and mostly long distance trucks stop here for the night dots the town. At around nine o’clock in the evening, the town is fully back to live business activities and transactions.
