Best African Festivals

Mombasa Carnival – November, Kenya
Kenya’s largest annual festival, organized by the Ministry of Tourism, is a carnival of floats, costumes, music, and dance that perfectly showcases the region’s cultural diversity.
Traditional and contemporary musicians perform, and the streets are lined with stalls offering all sorts of local delicacies, such as fresh coconut milk and the brewed concoction known as Mnazi, which is made from coconut sap.
During these African celebrations, participants often dress in traditional Kikoy and Kanga, and the parade finally winds its way down to the beach at Fort Jesus for a boat regatta!
