Driving Context

A highway address,
not a detour.

Emory's positioning is deliberate. The Bungoma–Mumias–Kakamega Highway carries the regional traffic that our target markets already travel: domestic weekenders, business travellers serving the county and corporate sector, and international visitors moving between lake and forest.

That highway adjacency also mitigates one of the region's known constraints — the state of local road networks — by keeping the resort on the corridor rather than off it.
