Here is the best place to be

If you need peace and tranquility complete with serenity and the marvels of Mother Nature, then you should consider visiting Ikonge-a small Centre at the border between Nyamira North and Bureti districts.

But for some of its rusty old fashioned buildings, Ikonge has a lot to offer in terms of beautiful scenery which brings out the aesthetics of Mother Nature. When at the Centre of the town, one is treated to an endless stretch of greenery which creates the impression of a football pitch only seen in television. This is nothing other than the tea estates that lie astride Nyamira North and Bureti districts. During the colonial era, the estates were owned by the Europeans who depended on the locals for labor. The estates explain the presence of unique names that resemble English names. Names such as Omochurubieni (European), Bogisi (Fox) and many other names attribute their existence to the European owned tea estates. Currently Ngoina tea estate is owned by Uniliver Limited while Keritor estate (whose tea factory is a stone throw away) is owned by Sasini Company Limited.
