The '''Safari Sevens''' is an annual [[rugby sevens]] tournament held in [[Nairobi]], [[Kenya]]. The Safari Sevens is open to international representative sides, professional and amateur clubs, invitational teams, university and school teams.

Initially held at the [[RFUEA Ground]], home of the [[Kenya Rugby Union]], the tournament was moved to the [[Nyayo National Stadium]] in 2010 and 2011 and then held in the 60,000 seat [[Moi International Sports Centre]] from 2012 through 2017. Due to declining spectators and sponsor interest, the event was moved back to the RFUEA in 2018.

==History==
Since the earliest days, rugby in Kenya had relied on a regular influx of foreign touring sides in order to test the mettle of the local teams and to provide opposition for the representative sides such as the [[Scorpions RFC]] and [[East Africa rugby union team|East Africa]].  The coming of professionalism to rugby in the 1990s all but dried up these tours and it was decided that a means had to be found of re-initiating the influx if the quality of rugby in the country was not to stagnate.

The [[Rugby Patrons Society]] decided to put in place a seven-a-side tournament and invite a number of foreign national and club teams to participate.  [[Robin Cahill]] (a founder member of the society and the man whose brainchild the tournament is) led a team of Patrons to run all the early competitions and oversee its integration into the [[Kenya Rugby Union]]'s calendar. The trophy, a bronze of two elephants, is named in his memory.

===The Inaugural Tournament 1996===
The inaugural tournament took place in 1996, [[Public School Wanderers]], who had supported Kenyan rugby for a number of years, brought a strong squad as did the [[Welsh Exiles]] (a team managed by the [[Welsh Rugby Union]] to nurture Wales qualified players living outside of [[Wales|the Principality]]) captained by future [[Wales national rugby union team|Welsh International]] captain, [[Colin Charvis]].  The tournament also included several international teams ([[Arabian Gulf national rugby sevens team|Arabian Gulf]], [[Kenya national rugby sevens team|Kenya]], [[Uganda national rugby sevens team|Uganda]] and [[Zimbabwe national rugby sevens team|Zimbabwe]]) as well as [[Selkirk RFC]] and a [[Cumbria]] Schoolboys team. The chairman of the referees was the famous English referee [[Ed Morrison (rugby union)|Ed Morrison]] and he took charge of the final between the [[Public School Wanderers]] and Zimbabwe.  [[Chester Williams]] was there as guest of honor and to present the trophies to the winners which included Kenya (who beat Uganda 38-12 in the Plate final) and Cumbria Schoolboys who defeated Shujaa 29-10 in the Bowl Final.

===Expansion and Growth 1997-2007===
In '''1999''' the then [[KRFU|Kenya Rugby Football Union]], now the [[KRU|Kenya Rugby Union]], applied and won the right to host the Africa Zone Qualifying Tournament for the [[2001 Rugby World Cup Sevens]] Finals. This qualification competition was combined with the 2000 tournament to make it into a longer 3 day festival of rugby rather than cancel the Safari Sevens.  The Kenya sevens side did not therefore take part in the Safari Sevens; ''Shujaa'' the Kenya 'A' side carried the hopes of the home crowd and did not disappoint, winning the cup. In the World Cup Qualifying tournament Kenya, captained by [[Sammy Khakame]],<ref name="auto">{{cite web |url=http://kenyapage.net/rugby/sevens.html |title=Sevens rugby in Kenya |website=kenyapage.net |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20030308115829/http://www.kenyapage.net/rugby/sevens.html |archive-date=2003-03-08}}</ref> defeated Swaziland and then Madagascar at the beginning of day two and then Namibia in the semi-finals on day three, thus qualifying to go to Argentina the next year as there were two slots open to the African Zone.  Zimbabwe defeated Kenya in the final.<ref name="auto"/>

The tournament would grow in stature with a large increase in crowds numbers. In '''2004''' the first women's team played in the tournament.<ref name="auto1">Kenyapage.net: [http://kenyapage.net/rugby/rugby-hist.html  The History of Rugby in Kenya]</ref>

In '''2005''' Fijian rugby great, [[Waisale Serevi]] played for Kenya A (Shujaa) as a guest player.<ref>{{Cite web | title=Jamati Online  {{!}}  Africas Premier Rugby tournament: The Tusker Safari Sevens | url=http://www.jamati.com/online/sports/africas-premier-rugby-tournament-the-tusker-safari-sevens/ | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080626235217/http://www.jamati.com:80/online/sports/africas-premier-rugby-tournament-the-tusker-safari-sevens/ | access-date=2025-02-01 | archive-date=2008-06-26}}</ref>

Since then the tournament attracted the likes of [[London Irish]], [[Emerging Springboks]], [[Fiji national rugby sevens team|Fiji]], [[Japan national rugby sevens team|Japan]], [[Western Province (rugby team)|Western Province]], [[Argentina national rugby sevens team|Argentina]], [[Golden Lions]], [[Belgium Barbarians]].<ref>Daily Nation, 25 May 2010: [http://www.nation.co.ke/sports/rugby/Safaricom%207s%20tickets%20go%20on%20sale%20/-/1106/925862/-/weyfiez/-/index.html] Tickets on sale</ref><ref name="auto1"/>

The tournament has attracted a variety of international rugby players and coaches including [[Naas Botha]] in 1999, [[Waisale Serevi]] and [[Gordon Tietjens]].<ref>Daily Nation, May 11, 2010 : [http://www.nation.co.ke/sports/rugby/New%20Zealand%20legend%20Tietjens%20for%20Safaricom%207s%20/-/1106/916704/-/12kvh3i/-/index.html Tietjens for Safaricom 7s]</ref>

===Consolidation 2008-2009===
[[File:Safarisevens diving try.jpg|250px|right|thumb|alt=Safari Sevens|A [[University of Bristol|Bristol University Select]] player scores a try at the 2008 Safari Sevens, at the [[RFUEA Ground]] ]]
The 13th edition of the Safari Sevens saw a rise in the gate fee of KSh200 per person to KSh800, in addition the weather was colder than usual but this did not produce any reduction in the crowds.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://egoimagekenya.com/?p=207 |title=Egoimagekenya » Hot Gossip » Tusker Safari sevens 20th- 22nd June 2008 |access-date=2010-07-28 |archive-date=2010-11-17 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101117034323/http://egoimagekenya.com/?p=207 |url-status=dead }}</ref>  The spectators included Kenyan Deputy Prime Minister [[Musalia Mudavadi]] (who presented the prizes) and former Kenyan Prime Minister [[Raila Odinga]], as well as various other celebrities from the world of Kenyan show business ensuring a constant flow of [[Hummer]]s, [[Jaguar cars|Jaguars]] and [[Range Rover]]s into and out of the car park.

The [[Fiji Barbarians]] made their debut at the Safari Sevens in 2008.  National teams taking part were [[Botswana national rugby union team (sevens)|Botswana]], [[Emerging Springboks]], [[France national rugby sevens team|France A (Les Blues)]], [[Japan national rugby sevens team|Japan]], [[Namibia national rugby sevens team|Namibia]], [[Tanzania national rugby union team (sevens)|Tanzania]], [[Tunisia national rugby sevens team|Tunisia]], [[Uganda national rugby sevens team|Uganda]], Zambia, [[Zimbabwe national rugby sevens team|Zimbabwe]] and [[Kenya national rugby sevens team|Kenya]]. In addition [[Samurai Sevens]] (a professional rugby invitation side) and the Kenya A sevens team (''Shujaa'') and [[University of Paris]] also took part. Bristol University Select (a team put together from [[Bristol University]], [[Clifton Rugby Football Club|Clifton RFC]] and the professional [[Guinness Premiership]] side [[Bristol Rugby|Bristol]])<ref>[http://www.bristolrugby.co.uk/3840.php Unknown]{{Dead link|date=February 2022 | fix-attempted=yes}}</ref> returned to take part in the Safari Sevens yet again; they have participated in every Safari Sevens ever staged.

Kenya won the competition beating the Emerging Boks in the final, 31&ndash;12.  The continued increase in the number of people attending the event and this year's rise in admission caused some critics{{Who|date=July 2010}} called for an upgrade in the quantity and quality of seating available for spectators.

Nine nations took part in the 2009 event; [[Botswana national rugby union team (sevens)|Botswana]], [[Japan national rugby sevens team|Japan]], [[Kenya national rugby sevens team|Kenya]] (who finished sixth in the IRB Sevens World Series this year), [[Morocco national rugby sevens team|Morocco]], [[Tunisia national rugby sevens team|Tunisia]], [[Tanzania national rugby union team (sevens)|Tanzania]], [[Uganda national rugby sevens team|Uganda]], Zambia and [[Zimbabwe national rugby sevens team|Zimbabwe]].

Other foreign teams included the perennial Bristol University Select from the [[United Kingdom|UK]], [[Hamilton Raiders RFC]] from [[South Africa]], [[Les Bleus Sevens]] from [[France]],  and [[Western Province (rugby team)|Western Province schoolboys]].  There was also a Kenyan invitation side ''the Chairman’s Select''.  Other local entrants included various Kenya club veterans sides, ladies and schools teams.

[[Kenya Harlequins]] won the veterans competition beating  a [[Rift Valley Academy]] Veterans 17&ndash;5, [[Western Province (rugby team)|Western Province]] took the schools title with a 19&ndash;0 win over Nyanza, while [[Mwamba RFC|Mwamba RFC I]] won the ladies title with a 54&ndash;0 win over Vivi.

The refereeing cadre included the IRB elite referees [[Wayne Barnes]] and David Rose of England.<ref>[http://www.rfu.com/News/2009/July/News%20Articles/SandSurfAndSafariAsEliteRefsSpreadTheWord.aspx?a=1&y=2009 Unknown]{{Dead link | date=February 2025 | fix-attempted=yes}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web| url=http://www.rfutouchline.com/index.asp?edition=115&category=Referees | title=Links on Rfutouchline.com | access-date=2010-08-01 | archive-date=2011-10-07 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111007231936/http://www.rfutouchline.com/index.asp?edition=115&category=Referees | url-status=dead}}</ref>

===2010-2012===

The tournament, under title sponsorship from Kenyan mobile telephony giant [[Safaricom]], became known as the [[Safaricom Sevens]], was hosted for the last time at the RFUEA Ground in 2010, shifting to the 35,000 seater Nyayo National Stadium in Nairobi for the 2011 and 2012 edition. The rationale for the venue shift was the exponential rise in crowd numbers, and the RFUEA's inability to host such crowds.

Former World Rugby Sevens Series champions Samoa returned for the 2011 edition, winning the tournament for a second time with a 31-12 win over Samurai 
Sevens. South Africa Sevens Elite Player Development (EPD) squad which featured [[Justin Geguld]] who would later play on the [[HSBC Sevens World Series]] won the last tournament to be played at Nyayo, defeating the Kenya Morans coached by [[Mike Friday]] 21-17.

===2013-2014===

When the [[Kenya Rugby Union]] revealed that the 2013 tournament would be held at the 60,000 seater [[Safaricom Stadium]] located at the [[Moi International Sports Centre]] in Kasarani, located in the Northern Suburbs of Nairobi, this announcement was met with skepticism by a section of "rugby diehards" for myriad reasons including the distance of the grandstands to the playing field amongst other factors.

This mattered little as a massive marketing and publicity campaign fronted by title sponsors [[Safaricom]] drew in crowds to the Kasarani venue. It is estimated there were an approximate 48000 fans in the stadium on 21 September 2013, the first day of the tournament which featured quality sides in the form of the England Royals and Sevens World Series core sides Spain and Portugal. As the tournament proceeded, news filtered in about a terrorist attack at the [[Westgate shopping mall attack|Westgate Mall]], located several kilometers away. The England Royals, featuring leading [[England Sevens]] player Matt Turner, withdrew from the tournament.

This did not put a damper on the tournament as slightly over 20000 fans turned up to watch the final day of the tournament. Kenya Shujaa would beat the Australia Renegades 40-7 to claim the [[Robin Cahill Trophy]], a win that they dedicated to the 67 lives lost at Westgate. Welsh Warriors defeated Argentina 24-17 to win the 2014 edition.

===Tournament Decline 2015-2016===

The tournament nearly didn't take place in 2015 owing to governance issues at the [[Kenya Rugby Union]] which led to the then title sponsors [[Safaricom]] pulling out. It did eventually take place to poor numbers at a venue that just a year earlier had attracted over 70000 fans over two days. Poor attendance returned to haunt the tournament in 2016 and it is envisaged that the [[Kenya Rugby Union]] and its partners will work to woo the fans back to the tournament either via a venue change or a deliberate and aggressive marketing campaign while attracting quality international sides and introducing prize money to the event that was once billed as "Africa's Premier Rugby Sevens Event."

===Tournament Postponement 2017===

The Safari Sevens was postponed in 2017 due to "uncertainty in the prevailing political climate" according to the KRU. Kenya held [[national elections|2017 Kenyan general election]] in August 2017 of which the results were disputed.

===Tournament Comeback 2018-2019===

The tournament was reinstated in 2018 at the RFUEA Ground. The 2019 edition of the tournament, with the title sponsorship of [[Tusker (beer)|Tusker]] of [[East African Breweries]], attracted the participation of the [[South Africa national rugby sevens team|South Africa Blitzboks]], one of the premier sevens teams in the [[World Rugby Sevens Series]], in addition to national teams from Zimbabwe, Zambia, Namibia, Uganda, and Burundi, and club teams Samurai Select, Western Province (South Africa), Russia Academy, Seventise (France), Blue Bulls (Wales), and Narvskaya Zastava (Russia).

The Kenya Morans beat the Bliztboks 19-14 in a thrilling final.
