Welcome Cocktail
Start your Congress experience with a warm welcome, great conversations and new connections.
The Welcome Cocktail offers the perfect opportunity to meet fellow delegates in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere before the Congress gets into full swing.
Enjoy drinks, light refreshments and entertainment while connecting with colleagues, partners and friends from across Africa and beyond.
Nairobi Safari Walk
For the first time, Congress delegates will have the opportunity to experience Nairobi Safari Walk on an early-morning wildlife adventure.
Take a walk through three carefully simulated habitats — wetland, savannah and forest — and get a closer look at Kenya's remarkable wildlife while learning more about the country's diverse ecosystems and conservation efforts.
Wetland
Discover a simulated wetland environment and learn about the wildlife and plant life associated with Kenya's wetland ecosystems.
Savannah
Experience a taste of Kenya's iconic savannah landscapes and encounter some of the country's best-known wildlife.
Forest
Explore the forest habitat and discover the rich biodiversity found across Kenya.
A raised wooden boardwalk winds through these landscapes, providing views of wildlife, varied habitats, River Mokoyet and the rocky thickets associated with Nairobi National Park. It is an engaging way to explore Kenya's natural heritage without leaving Nairobi.
The Safari Walk also features more than 150 indigenous tree species, offering delegates an opportunity to learn about Kenya's flora, fauna and conservation heritage.
