Africa Uncensored is an independent media house, founded by a team of the best Kenyan investigative journalists. You’ll get insights into their impactful mission of in-depth investigative journalism, the power it holds, and how it can be used to hold up a mirror to Africa and show it what it is.

Nation Media Group was founded in 1959 by His Highness the Aga Khan. Since then, the media house has grown to be one of East and Central Africa’s largest and most renowned independent media companies. Here, you’ll learn how they got started with Taifa Leo, the first Swahili newspaper in Kenya, Daily Nation, and Sunday Nation, which debuted in 1960, to their current portfolio, and how they’re guaranteeing their future through shrewd investments and acquisitions in the rapidly shifting media industry.

Buni Media was founded by Godfrey “Gado” Mwapembwa, an accomplished cartoonist, and Marie Lora-Mungai. It is located at the Godown Arts Centre in Nairobi’s Industrial Area. The popular XYZ Show, which uses satire to highlight topics of public interest, is one of the major productions of Buni Media. You’ll discover how Buni leverages the influence of narrative, the media, and artistic expression to promote participatory democracy, freedom of speech, and the development of the creative economy.

A taste of Kenyan cuisine will be part of this wonderful experience.
