Eldoret’s Timba-XO has formally established its dominance in Kenya’s entertainment sector after winning the title of Best Night Club at the Kenya Tourism Awards.

The upscale venue, owned by Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi, has transformed nightlife, creating new benchmarks that have made even the most talked-about clubs in Nairobi appear as standard establishments.

The lavish awards gala, hosted at Villa Rosa Kempinski, honored clubs that have enhanced nightlife through innovation and creativity.

Timba-XO triumphed in a category that included some of Kenya’s leading venues, such as Platinum 7D (Nakuru), Quiver Lounge Kilimani (Nairobi), Bar Next Door (Kiambu Rd. ), Da Place Lounge (Kisumu), and 001 Lounge (Mombasa).

Additionally, other competitors included Party Island Lounge (Naivasha), KODA (Nairobi), EVO Lounge (Rongai), and Funky Monkey (Diani).

Since its grand launch, Timba-XO has transformed the entertainment landscape with its cutting-edge architecture, an ultra-exclusive VVIP lounge, and an imported high-definition sound system that provides an unparalleled audio experience.

From the moment guests arrive, they are welcomed by an impressive entryway featuring dynamic visual effects that establish the ambiance for the evening.

The club’s famed searchlights cutting through the Eldoret night sky have transformed into a symbol for party enthusiasts, indicating where the excitement is occurring.

After the significant victory, Timba-XO’s Lemaiyan Bonnke shared his enthusiasm, declaring that the accolade was a testament to the club’s vision.

“Our aim was to establish more than merely a club; we aspired to create a comprehensive lifestyle destination. Receiving this award demonstrates that Eldoret can rival, and even surpass, Kenya’s largest cities in terms of entertainment and hospitality. ”

The club’s manager, Ben Kasimbu, reiterated these views, emphasizing that Timba-XO embodies not just music and dance but a complete lifestyle center.

He elaborated that guests can have an uninterrupted experience that features Cocco’s Bistro, an upscale restaurant with a diverse menu, a business center that hosts a barber shop, boutique, lifestyle parlor, and X. O Wash and Shine, a premier car detailing service.

Each weekend, the club organizes themed outdoor parties in its tented area, fostering a vibrant and distinctive social environment.

Kasimbu also emphasized the club’s 360° Photo Booth, which has gained popularity among partygoers eager to document and share their memorable experiences in high-quality photos.

Timba-XO’s ascent to prominence has encountered several obstacles. In June 2024, the club garnered national attention when it was defaced during anti-government demonstrations.

Viral footage depicted furious youth invading the property, tearing down the gate, shattering windows, and stealing valuable possessions. The destruction was severe, impacting the bar, kitchen, and club areas, with thieves making off with DJ gear, premium alcohol, and food.

Nonetheless, in spite of this adversity, Timba-XO staged a vigorous revival, restoring its facilities and reaffirming its position as Kenya’s premier nightlife venue.
