Sagana

Sagana is a small commercial town in Kirinyaga District, Central, Kenya. It is alongside the Nairobi-Nyeri highway, 100 kilometres north of Nairobi, the capital of Kenya. Its call comes from Kenya's second longest river, Sagana River which is also referred to as Thagana. The city also inspired the rhumba track "Afro mtoto wa Sagana". The city and its environment has a growing hospitality industry alongside the riverline of the River Sagana with cottages, water sports and different traveller sights being established. Sagana is located at the brink of a huge plain at the southern foot of Mt. Kenya.

Soils had been formed on volcanic rocks from Mt. Kenya present day Pliocene to Pleistocene basalts, phonolites, and pyroclastics. In regions with free drainage conditions on slight to steep slopes, lateritic and red to reddishbrown soils are gift. Some areas with black cotton soils suggest that the soils have shaped under constrained drainage conditions, which might be the end result of low rainfall and the presence of degree to moderate slopes.
