Borabu Settlement Scheme boasts some of the best views in Nyamira County. Undulating hills and lush farms coupled with the clean crisp air of an unpolluted countryside have over the years proven irresistible to the region’s ultra-wealthy.
Since its formation in 1963, now almost every son of Kisii and Nyamira County worth his salt is spreading themselves thin to own a slice of what is quickly becoming the playground for the rich and famous of the region.
Here, in a land scarce region, individuals own more than than 10 acres of land each, with affluent families having between 50 and 100 acres in their names.
The value of land in the area range between Ksh3.5 million to Ksh4 million per acre, making it a recluse for the wealthy, who indulge in modern commercial farming of tea plantantions and cattle.
From the traditional farming methods, families here have turned the large farms into model homesteads. Life here is still blissfully simple.
Abagusii settlers in the larger Borabu Settlement Scheme enjoy a higher standard of living than they did in the pre-settlement era. There are better schools, it is more accessible and is generally relatively more secure than many other hamlets in the Gusii counties.
There are several other settlement schemes within the large Borabu area, including Raitigo, which was curved out in 1962, Manga (1964), Nyansiongo (1964), Tindereti (1964), Isoge (1965), Mwongori (1965) and Matutu (1967).
However, several other schemes have come up due to acquisition of land from other individuals. They include Kitaru, Mogusii, Taifa, Kerumbe, Eronge, Ekerubo and Keneni.
