Evidence of the age and size of the forest can be seen in the timbers of which the house is built. There are clear views of Mount Kenya and the Loldaiga Hills from all corners of the property. An electric fence, patrolled by a group of Samburu warriors, protect the land and its replanted forest of 20,000 hardwood trees from the cattle and goats that were overgrazing and causing erosion. Trails have been cut through the bush, which are safe to walk and enjoy the birds, plants and insects.
