Reunion of Generations
Save the Date | 5th December 2026
Muthaiga Country Club, Nairobi
As our extraordinary centenary year draws towards its conclusion, the Oxford and Cambridge Society of Kenya is delighted to announce plans for a very special Reunion of Generations on Saturday, 5 December 2026 , at Muthaiga Country Club, Nairobi .
Throughout our centenary year, we have received numerous requests from members and friends of the Society to hold an OCSK gathering at Muthaiga Country Club, a venue with which the Society has a longstanding historical association. We are therefore particularly delighted that we will have an opportunity to return there for this special occasion.
The evening will bring together different generations of Oxford and Cambridge alumni, from longstanding members of the Society to our newest Oxonians and Cantabrigians, alongside friends from the wider Ivy+ community, members of Muthaiga Country Club and other friends of OCSK.
After a year of events marking 100 years since the establishment of OCSK in 1926 , the Reunion of Generations will provide a fitting opportunity to celebrate our past, reconnect with old friends, make new ones and look forward together to the Society’s second century.
For now, please save the date: Saturday, 5 December 2026.
Further details, including the programme and registration information, will be announced soon.

Who We Are
The Oxford and Cambridge Society of Kenya is one of the oldest Oxbridge alumni societies outside the UK. Founded on 27 March 1926 at the Nairobi Club, the OCSK has strengthened ties between graduates of the two universities and directed their social and charitable efforts back home. We are a volunteer-run, non-profit society. Our membership is global, diverse, and united by our special connections to Kenya.
We encourage all our members to organise gatherings wherever they are in the diaspora!
