I'll support Kenya if they really go for it.
I am subscribed to the WMKE mailinglist but didn't notice a mention of any Wikimania plannings. Also I am unsure, given the amount of ressources needed that Wikimedia Kenya could make a bit so soon. Anyhow, as stated above, they have my support if they go for it.

hahah Manuel, But U.K. and Kenya haven't made yet the bid, But I think they'll be hard to match candidates.
Wikimedia Kenya will make a splendid bid, don't doubt it. I talk to these guys from Kenya every week and I see them are really focusing on it. Kenya, btw, have great facilities for international conferences http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenyatta_International_Conference_Centrehttp://http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenyatta_International_Conference_Centre some people consider the best place in Africa to make large conferences.
I talked to them (Alex Wafula and Kosgei Kips Isaac from Wikimedia Kenya
- know them at Wikimania 2011), they are just preparing some details to
make the bid.
And about U.K., I chat wih Rich Farmbrough a lot in the bus to Jerusalem, leaving Haifa, and he told me about the plans for Wikimania U.K. 2013. He's thinking about Oxford and Liverpool. It's clear that U.K. easily can hold a Wikimania =p _____________________ MateusNobre /MetalBrasil on Wikimedia projects (+55) 85 88393509 30440865 /

I heard about France and India in Haifa.
just look here: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2013/Bids#Unofficial_bids
If you also have a look into the bid pages you easily get a picture which bid is more seroius than others.
