Captain Morgan partnered with Holiday Inn Nairobi Two Rivers over the weekend to stage the Captain’s Hangout, a full day immersive experience celebrating flavour, creativity, and Kenyan festive culture. The event attracted members of the media, influencers, digital creators, and Captain Morgan fans for a lively fusion of food, rum, and entertainment.
The experience was hosted by award winning musician and Captain Morgan brand ambassador Mejja, who brought the brand’s signature energy to life while complementing Holiday Inn’s contemporary approach to hospitality and culinary expression.
The day began with an interactive rum masterclass that took guests through the heritage, flavour notes, and versatility of Captain Morgan Gold and the newly introduced Captain Morgan Muckpit. This was followed by a collaborative dining experience curated by Holiday Inn’s Chef Robert Aluda, featuring a custom rum infused menu. Dishes ranging from spicy mutura and slow braised beef to Muckpit inspired creations showcased the creative potential of pairing rum with Kenyan cuisine.
Reflecting the festive season, guests also enjoyed gingerbread making, engaging games, friendly competitions, and impromptu musical performances, with Mejja maintaining high energy throughout the afternoon.
Pooja Patel, General Manager of Holiday Inn Nairobi Two Rivers, said the partnership reflected the hotel’s commitment to creating spaces where culture, creativity, and hospitality intersect, resulting in an atmosphere defined by great food, engaging company, and vibrant experiences.
