Ethos

The aim is to make a real difference to the local community in Kenya by raising awareness and money to aid environmental improvement and community regeneration. Profits from ticket sales will go directly to local Kenyan projects.

The location at Lake Naivasha, is less than 90km from the capital city, Nairobi. So, when festival goers aren't experiencing a whole other world of music, art and culture they can enjoy the surroundings of acacia trees, mountains and volcanoes.
