hello, my name is isaac and i am completely mesmerized about this site,;- well this is my story, -we have a farm at edge of Nandi/Kagamega forest at a place called kaptumo, when my parents acquired the farm in early 80s i got automatically drawn to this remote but magical place! i was attending bording school in Kitale (nort-rift)where i also call home because thats where i grew up at a farm too by then! but always liked to spend time at the kaptumo farm which is about 60 acres of tea plantation which had and still has a breath takeing landscape which blends the tea plantation and the forest in a perfect harmony and a picturesque attractive landscape....i have personaly been to the forest many times with the locals and i had what i call a moment of my life and an aura of mystery. i then thought of opening up this paradise to those who love nature and would like to share the experiences of this fascinating piece of nature,i am thinking of setting a base at the farm which consist of modern facilities like electricity, water and a beautiful farm house, and thats how i ended up here and i would kindly ask any of you on some tips give some feed back through this site and for the site owners you may contact me directly if you have some tips! thanks and keep the world green!!!
