The story

Wafugaji Festival in Nairobi

'Wafugaji' means livestock keepers or farmers in Swahili, and Nairobi genuinely hosts major livestock and agriculture events, including the Kenya Agricultural and Livestock Show. A festival specifically branded 'Wafugaji Festival' was not independently confirmed as its own distinct event, so this entry anchors to Nairobi's confirmed livestock-show culture.

Nairobi has a genuine, substantial livestock and agriculture events scene, anchored by the Kenya Agricultural and Livestock Show, widely described as East Africa's largest trade and agricultural exhibition, staged at the ASK Showgrounds in the Jamhuri area of the city.
