EXTRA ITINERARY

If by any chance you would want to stay a bit longer while in Kenya and need to have some sort of extra itinerary for a few more days. Please let us know and we will customize something for you.

REGISTRATIONS

For registrations as a group or choir, your leader should send an email to us through info(at)mzikitours.eu or mzikitours@gmail.com with the subject “Registration for International Mziki Gospel Festival. Those registering as individuals should also send an email with the same subject. We will respond to your email by sending you registration forms and link which you will then fill either as an individual or as a group.

ACQUAINTANCES, FRIENDS OR FAMILY MEMBERS

If your friends, acquaintances or family members who are not part of the singers would like to come along, this is very possible as we will be so pleased and will have a special programme for them. However, their registration price is slightly higher than that of singers. With this, they will have access to the main events and concerts for free while during the workshops and mass choir singing, we shall arrange different site seeing and adventure programmes for them. Please let us know about this while feeling the registration form. So Please invite as many singers/non-singers and friends/family as possible.

SONGBOOK

The Festival songbook will be available for everyone for free. We will send you the soft copy 6 months before the Festival and we shall also provide you with the hard copy on arrival to Kenya. The book will contain all the songs to be sang in the Mass choir and during the Festival Gala Concert.

CHOIR DIRECTORS AND WORKSHOP LEADERS

We have put together a great team of International Choir directors from the United States, Europe, Kenya and beyond. We will be working with very experienced, exposed and professional Gospel music directors. The team will be led by Dr. Ricky Dillard, a well-known Gospel music director from the United States of America. We shall be letting you know the names of those others soon. We therefore ask you to prepare yourselves for very electrifying musical experiences.

T-SHIRTS

We shall provide each participant with Festival T-shirts for free, these could be worn anytime during the Festival. However, we shall request that everyone puts it on at least during the Festival’s Gala concert

After making the registrations, we shall ask you to send us your T-shirt sizes. The T-shirts will be collected on arrival together with a printed songbook.

CANCELLATIONS IF ANY

Registration for International Gospel Music Festival – Africa is binding. However, in case of any cancellations or withdrawals due to personal reasons, the following cancellation fees will be charged: 30% of the total cost if cancellation is done 3 months to time, 50% of the total cost if cancellation is done 2 months to time, 80% of the total cost if cancellation is done 1 month to time and 100% if cancellation is done 1 week to time. Alternatively, you can also get a replacement participant if possible. Please let us know early enough by sending us an email in case there’s a need for this.

ACCOMMODATION, MEALS AND LOCAL TRANSPORT

We have organized and planned everything just to make sure that you have a smooth, adventurous, musical, refreshing, and stress-free trip while in Kenya. You only have to pay for the registration fees and all the rest shall be taken care of. Once you arrive at the Airport in Nairobi, you don’t have to worry about anything as all the rest shall be on us. Our teams shall pick you up right from Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi and drive you to the hotel. The registration fee includes all the accommodation, meals and local transport costs.
