Beneath the Baobabs is a magical East African destination event space located at the end of the creek on the Kilifi coast of Kenya. We are also home to the acclaimed 3 day Beneath the Baobabs Festival (formerly Kilifi New Year).

Within a spectacular natural setting we have infrastructure to host up to 10,000 people and a mission to provide a safe platform fostering creativity, environmental sustainability, consciousness, community and freedom of expression, while showcasing East African music, art and culture.

Our three-day Beneath the Baobabs Festival is is the first ‘Carbon Neutral Festival in Africa’ and bans all single-use plastics.

Beneath the Baobabs, home to all artists and creatives, is a one of a kind secluded event space, with secret orange and lemon groves, hundreds of square meters of overhanging decks under the shade of a two-thousand year old majestic Baobab tree, and our now iconic Main Stage. Built with passion and care for the natural environment from the outset and a Leave No Trace approach to all events, Beneath the Baobabs is ready to safely host up to 10,000 people with up to 5 unique stages, bars and all the infrastructure required for a successful event.

We are a proudly Kenyan destination event site, uniting people of all backgrounds by providing a safe platform fostering creativity, environmental sustainability and consciousness, community, and freedom of expression, while showcasing East African music, art and culture.

Our mission is one of transformation and inspiration, through uniting people of all backgrounds, by providing a safe platform, even for the most marginalised of communities, to enjoy established and emerging East African Music, Art, Performance and Wellness, whilst learning how to live more consciously and sustainably.
