Voi Sisal Estate

Voi Sisal Estate is located near the township of Voi in the Taita-Taveta District. It specializes mainly to production of sisal fiber and farming of pineapples.

There are two semi autobiographical books written about the life on the estate. They are "On A Plantation in Kenya" (later re-titled "Red Soils of Tsavo") written by M G. Visram and its sequel "Beyond The Baobab Tree".
