East Africa’s business elite head to Zambia for premier Golf & Investment Summit this October

Jointly organized by prominent regional travel and hospitality firms Stejos Tours & Travel, Dahlia Safaris, and Zambia’s Trekking Tours, the high-level summit will take place from October 14 to October 20, 2026, offering a tailored blend of championship golf, strategic networking, and high-value deal sourcing.

Designed explicitly for decision-makers seeking direct access to capital, joint-venture partnerships, and policy-makers, the summit goes beyond conventional networking - it provides a targeted forum for corporate leaders to engage directly with Zambian business figures, potential partners, and regional government stakeholders.

The summit targets established executives, business owners, investors, and avid golfers across priority growth sectors, including AgriBusiness, Tech, Real Estate, Energy, Mining, Healthcare/Medics, and Regional Tourism.

Rather than focusing merely on general event reach, the organizers have structured the summit around direct deal flows and qualified business engagements. 

Attendees will participate in structured discussions on cross-border trade opportunities, policy frameworks, and market entry strategies across Southern Africa through executive roundtables and investment forums. 

Private fireside chats and B2B matchmaking sessions will connect East African business leaders with Zambian counterparts and institutional investors, complemented by high-caliber golf rounds designed to foster long-term business relationships in a relaxed setting.

The unforgettable 7-day, 6-night southern Africa escape is fashioned into a high-level corporate networking that will blend seamlessly with pristine fairways, rich heritage, and breathtaking natural wonders.

The delegates' journey will begin as they touch down in Lusaka and check into the luxurious Ciela Resort. 

The getaway will kick off with an adventure at the Chaminuka Estate, offering an exquisite blend of outdoor recreation and indulgent relaxation. 

Guests will be able to indulge in artisanal wine and cheese tastings alongside coffee sampling, embark on a wildlife game drive, or set sail on a serene boat cruise and for those seeking active leisure, options will include horseback riding, scenic bush walks, access to tennis courts, swimming facilities, and curated art exhibits, all complemented by a sumptuous buffet lunch. 

As night falls on Day One, the atmosphere will transform into an exclusive welcome dinner and high-value networking evening, hosting representatives from Zambia’s investment promotion agency and chambers of commerce. 

The evening will facilitate high-level connections through structured B2B matchmaking, government investment briefings, sector presentations, and personalized one-on-one investor meetings.

The morning of Day Two will invite golf enthusiasts to tee off for a pristine round at the prestigious Lusaka Golf Club. Following lunch, the afternoon will turn toward Zambia's rich history and vibrant arts scene as guests embark on guided cultural visits to Chilenje House, the Oliver Tambo Heritage House, and the colorful Kabwata Cultural Village. 

The day will wrap up with peaceful evening relaxation back at the resort.

Set against the pristine backdrop of the Bonanza Golf Resort, the third day will center on the "Zambia Golf & Investment Summit: Driving Business Through Sport". 

Designed to highlight trade, tourism, and investment avenues across key growth sectors - including mining, agriculture, renewable energy, real estate, and technology - this summit will pair championship golf with high-level dialogue. 

The afternoon will bring focused round-table business sessions and intimate fireside chats within designated boardrooms, concluding with a grand gala dinner and awards ceremony celebrating joint opportunities.

Traveling south to Livingstone on Day Four, guests will check into the elegant Radisson Blu Livingstone Resort. 

The day will be dedicated to exploring the legendary Victoria Falls through a comprehensive guided tour covering both the Zambian and Zimbabwean perspectives for unmatched panoramic views. 

The afternoon will feature a city tour of historic Livingstone alongside a walk with lions experience, followed by a serene evening at leisure along the banks of the resort.

Day Five will see golfers take to the historic course at the Livingstone Royal Golf Club for a relaxing morning round. 

After an afternoon spent at leisure, guests will gather for an iconic African sunset cruise along the Zambezi River, where golden hour hues will set the stage for a festive farewell dinner and celebration.

On the sixth day, a morning departure aboard a luxury coach will take guests on a scenic two-hour overland journey across the Zambezi River via the iconic Kazungula Bridge. 

This route will pass through the unique geographical quad-point at Kasane, where four nations touch boundaries. 

Upon entering Botswana, the day will expand into a wildlife safari within Chobe National Park. Guests will enjoy a Chobe River safari cruise featuring close encounters with large elephant herds, striking photography opportunities, and the sweeping landscapes of the Savuti channel.

After a final morning breakfast and check-out at the resort, travelers will board their afternoon Kenya Airways flight home, taking with them new strategic partnerships, world-class golf memories, and unforgettable African safari moments.
