We will start with African Safari hour, a form of social hour where guests will tour African Safari Tables around the room, representing the nine countries in our union. On the Safari tables, there will be a display of African artifacts, popular African snacks, mandazi and chapati, and the popular African tea, Kenyan tea. Dinner will include popular mouthwatering African dishes. African DJ will play Afrobeats that will keep you on the dance floor. We will have Fashion Show to showcase African fashion & style.
