Machakos is what the local pilots call this place--which is misleading since the site is nowhere near the larger range behind Machakos. A more appropriate name is Katalembo, or Mua Hills. In any case, launch consists of a small grassy area in the midst of a banana plantation. There is a large tree to the immediate left of take-off. The grassy area is maintained by the local farmer (his name sounded like, Pirsch). As of 2014 he asks 500 KSH for its use and to guard you car. In any case, he does maintain a lovely manicured patch of grass for launching on (very nice!).
