Gitothua ward: Tatu City: Davis & Shirtliff - TUREA Limited - Dr.Mattress / DrM Furniture - Headquarters & Factory
Tatu City occupies a broad upland site in Kiambu County, on the southern fringe of Kenya’s central highlands. This master-planned urban district is being developed on land once used for coffee growing, with neighbourhoods, schools, shops and workplaces planned alongside one another. Its business areas bring manufacturing, logistics and service firms into a fast-growing part of the Nairobi metropolitan area. Davis & Shirtliff, a Kenyan water and energy-solutions company, has a presence here, as does TUREA Limited’s Dr.Mattress and DrM Furniture headquarters and factory. The district’s mix of large commercial plots, warehouses and solar installations reflects an urban project still taking shape.

Kiambu combines cool, productive highlands with Nairobi’s rapidly urbanising fringe in a way that reflects its position within central Kenya’s upland belt. Tea and coffee cultivation remain central to the county’s identity, alongside small farms supplying the capital with fresh produce. The Chania River flows through the county toward Thika, helping shape the cultivated terrain, while Chania Falls near Thika is a recognised local landmark. Kiambu town serves as the county headquarters, and Thika adds an important industrial and commercial dimension. Roads, markets and farmland underline the close ties between rural livelihoods and metropolitan Nairobi. Browse additional webcams from the surrounding area to extend your view of Kiambu County.

The Great Rift Valley and the Indian Ocean coastline define much of Kenya — their contrasts support farming, fishing, trade and tourism. Nairobi is a major commercial centre in East Africa and home to Nairobi National Park, where wildlife moves close to the city. Maasai Mara National Reserve is known for the annual migration of wildebeest and zebra from Tanzania’s Serengeti. Near the equator rises Mount Kenya, the country’s highest mountain; its protected area is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Swahili culture is especially evident on the coast, including in Lamu Old Town, a UNESCO-listed settlement shaped by centuries of Indian Ocean trade.
