Events in Kenya since the 1980s
Tarpo has been building events in Kenya for four decades — rallies, retreats, weddings, markets, safari camps and film crews. We are part of Tarpo Industries, a Nairobi family business founded in 1975, which is where the equipment and the standards come from.
How we work
Planned, built and run by one team
We plan it
Four decades of events means we can read a site, a schedule and a guest list before anything goes wrong.
We build it
Our own crew and our own equipment, from Nairobi gardens to camps deep in Turkana and Tsavo.
We run it
We stay on site to look after guests and equipment, then strike the camp and leave the site as we found it.
Where we work
We have worked in 44 of Kenya’s 47 counties
Four decades of camps and events have taken us almost everywhere in the country — only Garissa, Wajir and Mandera are still on the list. These are the regions we work in most often, and we travel further when the site calls for it.
