Geco Hangout Returns With Two-Day Music, Camping and Outdoor Experience at Lukenya Conservancy

Geco Tribe has officially announced the return of Geco Hangout, a two-day destination experience scheduled for May 1st and 2nd at the Lukenya Conservancy.

Moving away from the high-octane format of traditional urban festivals, the event is being positioned as a “hangout”—a curated blend of live music, outdoor camping, and community socialising designed to offer Nairobi’s residents a temporary escape from the city’s busy pulse.

A Shift Toward Experiential Leisure As Nairobi continues to grow, there is a visible shift in how the city’s young professionals and creatives spend their weekends. The Geco Hangout aims to tap into the rising demand for “destination gatherings” that combine travel and nature with entertainment.”Geco has always been about creating space for music to breathe and for artists to be seen and heard in a way that feels honest,” says Mateus Finato of Geco Tribe. “With Geco Hangout, we wanted to bring that same energy into the open, set against the landscape of Lukenya, where the environment itself becomes part of the experience

The Experience: Sunsets, Bonfires, and Morning CoffeeThe event is structured as an overnight stay rather than a standard concert. The itinerary is intentionally relaxed, moving through:Afternoon & Sunset: DJ sets and live performances as guests arrive and settle into the conservancy.Nightfall: Communal bonfires, open-air social spaces, and food and bar experiences.The Morning After: A slow-paced Sunday morning in the outdoors before guests make the short journey back to the city

Location and Logistics Set against the dramatic rock formations of Lukenya, the venue provides a wilderness feel within an hour’s drive of the capital. This proximity allows attendees to experience a “full weekend away” without the logistical strain of long-distance travel.Accommodation options are flexible to encourage different levels of participation:Full Camping: Solo and shared tent packages for those wanting a ready-made setup.DIY Camping: “Bring-your-own-tent” options for seasoned campers.Non-Camping: Day passes for those who wish to enjoy the music and atmosphere but return to the city at night.
