| Location Notes / How to get there |
The land is suitably situated at Mbengonyi (Taita word for opening / gap) which marks the entry to the majestic Taita Hills. It offers the visitors a sneak preview of the majestically jutting rock outcrops (Wesu, Yale and Vuria) and a glimpse of the closed canopy indigenous Ngaongao Cloud Forest and the nearby Weni Mwana and Mwachora Forests.
Access to the site is via a tarred Road that snakes from Voi through Mwatate to Wundanyi. The site is via a tarred Raod that snakes from Voi through Mwatate to Wundanyi. The site is approximately 46 Kms from Voi town. |

| Future Plans |
The group intends to put up an Information and Curio centre on the 1.5 acre piece of land that it owns. Given its present performance and assuming that the visitor numbers in the Tsavo Circuit continue with the upward trend, there is no doubt that Shate Project will rapidly become a must stop area. The group will also continue promoting tree planting activies as before to ensure bio diservisity conservation.
