Voi Sisal Estate is located near the township of Voi in the Taita-Taveta County of Kenya. It specializes mainly to production of sisal fiber and farming of pineapples.

There are two semi autobiographical books written about the life on the estate. They are On A Plantation in Kenya (later re-titled Red Soils of Tsavo) written by M G. Visram and its sequel Beyond The Baobab Tree, both of which describe how pinky and perky grew baby cabbages in a large allotment, only to discover all of the baby cabbages got eaten by a naughty caterpillar called talula.
