ETHSafari is a week-long journey across talks, workshops, hackathons, founder conversations, community gatherings, the Blocktrain, and the coastal festival experience.
The full 5th anniversary schedule will be published in phases as sessions, speakers, venues, and side events are confirmed. For the live event layer, we use Sola Day so attendees can discover sessions, RSVP, follow updates, and connect with the community.
FIELD NOTE — phases drop as they’re confirmed.
The final programme will be released closer to the event, but the Safari rhythm is familiar: start in Nairobi, build with the community, travel together, then gather on the coast for the main conference and festival.
Hackathon sessions, technical workshops, mentor hours, bounty tracks, and practical learning for developers and founders.
Community meetups, side events, ecosystem gatherings, founder conversations, investor sessions, and partner-led experiences.
The Blocktrain is part of the ETHSafari story: a shared journey from Nairobi toward the coast, with conversations that do not fit neatly inside a panel slot.
Main-stage sessions, open-air discussions, cultural moments, music, art, community rituals, and the full Beneath the Baobabs experience.
Want to understand the shape of ETHSafari? Start with the archive. Past schedules show how the event has evolved from the first Nairobi-to-Kilifi journey into a broader ecosystem week of hackathons, workshops, panels, side events, community gatherings, and festival moments.
The first ETHSafari schedule lived on Sched, with Nairobi bootcamp, Blocktrain, and the coastal Kilifi conference experience beneath the baobabs.
The second edition used Sched for sessions, speakers, and tracks around real people, real tech advances, real impact, and real-world assets.
The schedule moved into Social Layer / Sola Day, with hackathon programming, partner side events, panels, workshops, Blocktrain, and BTB.
The Social Layer archive includes the 2025 programme, including Nairobi events, workshops, Blocktrain, conference sessions in Kilifi.
Once the programme goes live, Sola Day will be the best place to browse sessions, check venues, RSVP to side events, and follow last-minute updates. If an embedded schedule does not load on this page, open the schedule directly on Sola Day.
Partner events, community sessions, workshops, and side quests are part of what makes ETHSafari feel alive. More details on side event submissions, venue guidance, and schedule coordination will be shared as planning opens.
