Kenyan business leaders, investors, and corporate executives are being invited to attend the Zambia Golf & Investment Summit 2026, scheduled for October 14 to 20. The summit aims to bring together business players from across the region, providing a platform for East African companies to explore partnerships, investment opportunities, and entry points into the Southern African market. The event is organized by Stejos Tours & Travel, Dahlia Safaris, and Zambia's Trekking Tours.
The seven-day program combines business engagements with golf, tourism, and safari experiences. It targets C-suite executives, business owners, high-net-worth investors, and golfers operating in sectors such as agribusiness, technology, and healthcare. The summit focuses on direct business-to-business engagements, investment discussions, and market-entry opportunities, rather than being structured as a conventional business conference.
The program includes executive roundtables, investment forums, private fireside conversations, and B2B matchmaking sessions designed to connect East African delegates with Zambian business leaders, institutional investors, and government stakeholders. The business engagements will focus on cross-border trade, investment opportunities, policy frameworks, and strategies for companies considering expansion into Southern Africa.
Golf will form a central part of the networking program, with organizers using the sport as an informal setting for executives to build relationships. The Kenyan delegation will begin its journey in Lusaka, where participants will be hosted at Ciela Resort. The first day will combine leisure and networking at Chaminuka Estate, with opportunities for wine and cheese tasting, coffee sampling, and wildlife viewing.
The main business event will take place on Day Three at Bonanza Golf Resort under the theme "Zambia Golf & Investment Summit: Driving Business Through Sport." The summit will examine opportunities in sectors including mining, agriculture, and renewable energy, giving participants an opportunity to assess potential areas for collaboration between East African and Southern African businesses.
The delegation will then travel to Livingstone, where it will be based at Radisson Blu Livingstone Resort. Beyond the business engagements, the Livingstone leg will give delegates an opportunity to experience Victoria Falls, with guided visits offering views from both the Zambian and Zimbabwean sides. A city tour, cultural experiences, and a golf round at Livingstone Royal Golf Club will form part of the program.
For Kenyan participants, organizers have packaged the trip around different corporate schedules and budgets. The Lusaka Only Package costs USD2,000 (about Sh260,000) per person sharing, while the Full Lusaka + Livingstone Experience costs USD3,400 (about Sh442,000) per person sharing. The events offer an opportunity for Kenyan firms to explore commercial opportunities in a different regional market, particularly Zambia and the wider Southern African region.
