Emali is a town on the Mombasa-Nairobi highway in southern Kenya, straddling the boundary between Makueni County and Kajiado County. The railway line forms the administrative boundary, so the north-eastern part belongs to Makueni County and the south-western part to Kajiado County. The town sits on flat land with red volcanic soil and a warm climate with two rainy seasons, and it is inhabited by the Kamba and the Maasai. It is a popular resting place for truck drivers carrying goods from the port of Mombasa to Nairobi and on to Kampala, Kigali and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and is known as the town that never sleeps for its lively night life. One of the stations of the Mombasa-Nairobi Standard Gauge Railway is located here, and trade in fresh fruit and vegetables along the highway is a major activity.
