Beneath the Baobabs will once again host Kilifi New Year on its lush , 25-acre evergreen plateau in the upper reaches of Takaungu Creeks emerald waters , on the edge of the Indian Ocean. Home to hidden wild orange lemon orchards , bamboo forests and thousand year old baobabs , Beneath the Baobabs is is a melting pot of artists and global cultures , a brilliant source of inspiration and a haven for freedom of expression , with a strong commitment to conscious living and sustainability. This year , we are focusing on identifying the most incredible up and coming East African performers! We are also putting a large focus on growing KISIMA , our Mind , Body and Soul area. Kilifi New Year aims to meld creativity with nature , to convey the connection we have with one another , with our environment and our community. As per tradition , the festival will culminate with The Burn - a large recycled wooden structure symbolizing new beginnings and our shared optimism for a brighter future , bringing together the community of Kilifi and festival goers for a moving spectacle and a sight to behold. During Kilifi New Year 2019 , we burned a large effigy in honor of the late , great Sudan - the last male Northern White Rhino. More Info below.
