Safaricom 7s
Top 10 in Top 10 Most Famous Festivals in Kenya
The Safaricom 7s is a rugby sevens competition that takes place every year in Nairobi, Kenya. International representative teams, professional and amateur clubs, invitational teams, university and school teams are all welcome to compete in the Safaricom 7s.
The event was first hosted at the RFUEA Ground, home of the Kenya Rugby Union, before moving to the Nyayo National Stadium in 2010 and 2011, and then to the Moi International Sports Centre in 2012 and 2017. The event was moved back to the RFUEA in 2018 due to dwindling spectator and sponsor interest.
The Safaricom 7s isn't actually a festival, but it's on the list because of its well-deserved buzz. Rugby teams from across the world compete in games that take place over the course of the weekend until a winner is determined. Between games, there are musical events, and there is plenty of food outside the stadium.
