Kenya: Experiential & Dated Guide
to Events & Festivals
The pulse of a nation beats in the percussive rhythm of festivals. To travel to Kenya is to move beyond the role of a spectator and become part of a living, breathing narrative. This is an invitation to a sensory pilgrimage, timed to perfection.
Why Time It?
