The three east africa countries of Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania have excellent conference facilities and as a result they have proved popular in recent years. In the past couple of years the United Nations Security Council and the International Press Institute have both convened conferences in the Kenyan capital of Nairobi. Other smaller conferences have also taken place in the year 2005 and many more are expected in the year 2006.

Widescope Tours and Travel has a wide knowledge and experience in handling these conferences and we have a range of properties suitable for conferences in the cities of Nairobi, Dar es salaam, Kampala, Entebbe, Eldoret, Nakuru and Kisumu. The smaller towns also have facilities but these range from small conference halls suitable for medium conferences to larger ones that can accommodate 100 to 150 people. Below are some of the conference venues. Please contact us for individual group quotations depending on the equipment you need, the accommodation, the transport to ferry delegates/participants from their hotels to the venues etc.

The major cities of Eastern Africa all conference facilities whether located in some of the five and four stars establishments. Nairobi in Kenya with its famous Kenyatta International Conference Center, which was recently renovated, is one such city.

Another popular venue for conferences is Arusha in Tanzania. Arusha International Conference Center is used by many international organizations including the United Nations bodies because you can take a break from the tedium of the conference by visiting the nearby wildlife sanctuaries that are only two to three hours drive away. Dar es salaam, Kampala, Entebbe, Mombasa and Kisumu all have excellent conference facilities.

One of the increasingly popular trends in global conferences is to go to the "off-the-beaten" track resorts and establishments for meetings and seminars. Exotic locations are more often being chosen for these conferences and East Africa has not been left behind in this development.

Wildlife resorts, beach hotels, remote island establishments have all gone out of their way to build conference facilities and obtain equipment for conferences in an effort to increase their hotel ratings even as they give the guests the all facilities they need in one place.

The result of this transformation is that you can now have your conferences in such diverse locations such as on the slopes of Mount Kenya, on the islands of Lamu and Zanzibar in the Indian Ocean, in remote wildlife sanctuaries like the Maasai Mara National Park in Kenya, the Serengeti Game Sanctuary and the Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania and the Tsavo National Park in Kenya.
