Marurui Estate is located in Roysambu ward in Nairobi county .Marurui Estate has been existence since 1947 and the word Marurui is a maasai name meaning village Mara-rui
Gathara was a self help group started at Marurui jua Kali , by its residents when they were allocated there by chief josphat kamau kiarie and his assistant chief, by the name madoya
Marurui was also known as gwa-fothi christened by its former white settler owner who was known as Damian Cosmas Forth
Used to be the Marurui Coffee plantation, initially owned by white farmers at the height of the colonial period, was transformed into a settlement scheme so as to accommodate a significant number of people who worked in the coffee plantations for years. Marurui estate

Marurui estate neighbors include Thome estate, Mika coffee estate ,Ngumba estate, Safari park estate and Garden estate and Windsor estate Further away is Thindigua .Marurui estate is very rich is resources as it is served with 3 dams mainly
Gumba Dam,
Gumba Dam is located on the outskirts of Marurui, further away from most residential building and business on your way to Starehe girls. Having a Day off and take a detour on that part of marurui gives you best views of the vast land,tall bluegum trees and very great blue sky
Fishing at Gumba Dam in Marurui
The direction to Gumba Dam from Marurui starts from Southern Global apartment ,the trail is very steep thus making it very impassible with a car ,motorbike or even a bicycle ,
Chilling just above with Alan Kamau on the steep slope and watch the massive trees ahead which belong to Starehe girls
The steep slope down Gumba Dam from Marurui which can be seen ahead with massive buildings is a very tiring hike,I have never seen a Motorbike on this trail due to its steepness
One of the major activities along Ngumba Dam is swimming and during holidays or weekends you can see quite a huge group of children have fun in the water
Gumba Dam rarely dries and rumours have it that the dam receives water from Underground
Image of a small pond at Gumba dam
A small pond, that acts as a good source of water for Irrigation of common crops planted along the area such as skuma wiki, onions and maize
Image of Dennis Farming at Gumba dam
Majongo Macoin doing some farming next to a Pond served by a river from Windsor River(Windsor river or Windsor Dam)
Marurui dam
Commonly known as the Michuki Dam .Marurui is a man made ,and its purpose is to serve the neighboring Coffee plantation Mika estate with continuous supply of water.The Dam is located just behind Marurui Primary School thus giving the school a very good backdrop
Image of Marurui primary and Marurui dam
The Dam is very common to activities such as swimming, washing clothes however nowadays nothing like that happens, Alan swimming at Marurui dam though it is prohibited
Image of Alan at Marurui dam
Further away from the dam is a riparian land that is mostly made up of very huge stones ,Skylar holding Amarula
Image of Skylar at Marurui dam
The Dam once dried and you could see how deep it is Dam also has been a source of tragedy as some people have committed suicide or sank by accident
Image of a sign warning at Marurui dam
Fishing at the dam has not been productive to me, as I have never caught any fish ,Implying I still need some bit of patience
Fishing at Marurui Dam, ahead is Marurui Primary school
Windsor Dam
(Is it a dam or a wide river ?)
Image of Windsor Dam,Further ahead are Windsor Homes

The average rent for a 1 bedroom house in Marurui is 10,000Ksh to 17Ksh .
A one bedroom house in Thome is rare to find as Thome estate is mostly a residential estate with rules and guidelines warning developers of setting high rise buildings
Marurui Estate is vibrant. It is affordable and strategically positioned in the sense that it cost 80Ksh from Marurui to Thika and also 80 Ksh from Marurui to Nairobi making it the most ideal estate for anyone every planning on starting life in Marurui. However the estate is growing at an alarming rate thus affecting also its residents and the area.
1.)There are Lots of Buildings coming up each and every month . Buildings that go to 5th floor and 6th floors thus breaching privacy for real estate owners who own mansions thus making them to either sell the house or rent it and move to serene areas such as Ruiru,Runda.
2.) Marurui estate is a middle income estate as most families are not business owners as we shall compare with Thome,Garden estate and Ridgeways therefore there is minimal spending thus the estate does not host high end services such as restaurants to barber shops to SPA.
3.)For the keen eyed something else affecting Marurui is competition especially fast moving consumer goods as they are quite alot in Marurui. With the spruting of Quickmart Thome some fast moving consumer good shops had to close down due to competitive pricing and marketing
4.)Water is a major concern not that Nairibi water are not doing their part however with constant rationing such that in Marurui water comes only 3 days a week and thats if luck is on our side. With rising population most people do not get to enjoy water from Nawasco since some landlords have huge tanks which have to get filled first before water flows upto the last resident thus in Marurui estate some residents who live near Marurui primary school and Marurui dam environs get to purchase water from Clean water.
