“Gucokia Rui Mukaro” – A Cultural Homecoming Experience at Thayu Farm Hotel

Nairobi, Kenya – July 29, 2025 — Take a step back into your heritage and experience the vibrant depth of Kikuyu culture at Gucokia Rui Mukaro, happening on Saturday, August 2, 2025, at the scenic Thayu Farm Hotel in Tigoni, Limuru.

Translating loosely to “returning to the river to fetch water”, Gucokia Rui Mukaro is a symbolic cultural gathering designed to reconnect communities with their roots, traditions, and storytelling. This edition offers an immersive and meaningful experience focused on Ruracio (traditional Kikuyu marriage) customs, Nyimbo Citu (ancestral songs), and intergenerational cultural knowledge.

Hosted at the lush and historic Thayu Farm Hotel, this event will offer attendees a rare opportunity to celebrate identity, ask important cultural questions, and enjoy authentic performances in an open-air setting that honors Kikuyu heritage.

“This isn’t just an event—it’s a revival of identity, a day for laughter, insight, and cultural pride,” say the event organizers. “Come ready to sing along, learn, and feel rooted.”
