The search for Africa’s Next Super Model 2026 is set to begin in Kenya on August 29, with organisers planning a month-long scouting exercise to identify aspiring female models aged between 18 and 26.
The search will start in Nairobi before moving to different parts of the country through September.
According to a communique shared with TNX Africa, this year's scouting will extend beyond major towns and include communities in Turkana and Maasai areas as they look for new modelling talent.
Kenya’s Ministry of Tourism has endorsed the initiative, with Permanent Secretary for Tourism and Wildlife, Julius Bitok, encouraging eligible Kenyan women to take part in the search.
