Estere is described as a relatively flat town where cactus and small lizards are very common. However, it is also known for its breathtaking views. With the help of its tropical climate and warm weather, people can enjoy a panoramic view of the blue sky and white, fluffy clouds. Nearby hills also add a stunning beauty to the town.

Furthermore, Estere has a good road construction and transport system. Given the excellent shape and condition of the town's roads, there are plenty of passenger buses in the area. This mode of transportation is called "tap tap" buses because passengers are asked to tap the side of the vehicle when they arrive at their destination. Motor bikes and trucks are also available to transport passengers within the town.

When it comes to livelihood, Estere is big in agriculture. Many residents are into farming, while livestock keeping is a common past time in the town.

Medical services in the town are also expected to improve with the establishment of the MIVO Medical Center. This program will soon be launched by the Servant's Ministry in an aim to provide health assistance to residents. Estere is in need of better medical services as it faced several health issues before. Two years ago, a cholera outbreak hit the town and it went on for several months.
