ETHSafari 2026

ETHSafari 2026 marks the fifth anniversary of Africa's flagship Ethereum and web3 gathering. The event unfolds as a multi-stage journey: it opens with a ceremony and hackathon in Nairobi, moves via the iconic Blocktrain to the coastal town of Kilifi, and culminates in a main conference and the signature 'Beneath the Baobabs' festival. Across the week, attendees experience technical workshops, mentor hours, bounty tracks, founder conversations, investor sessions, and open-air panel discussions, all blended with cultural immersion and community celebration unique to the Kenyan coast.

The event targets developers, founders, researchers, investors, artists, community leaders, and global ecosystem teams who want to engage directly with Africa's growing Ethereum and web3 builder community. Past editions have drawn support from major L1s, L2s, and infrastructure projects including Polygon, Celo, NEAR, Filecoin, Avalanche, Polkadot, and The Graph, alongside local African web3 organizations. Attendees should come for the rare combination of deep technical content, real-world adoption use cases, and an intimate, culturally rich setting that larger global conferences rarely offer, along with strong networking access to both global protocol teams and grassroots African builders.
