WORLD AQUACULTURE SAFARI 2025: Biggest Aquaculture Meeting in Africa will be held at Speke Resort Munyonyo, Kampala, Uganda (near Entebbe) with involvement from countries throughout Africa and the world.

East Africa is the fastest growth node for aquaculture on the African continent. This is predominantly as a result of the farming of tilapia, but several other species contribute to the sector. East Africa is also a world leading region in the farming of seaweed, with exciting developments around several other marine species such as sea cucumber and more. The EU-funded TRUEFISH Project, which seeks the advancement of aquaculture in the Lake Victoria Basin was a major sponsor of the meeting.

Through Egypt (2022), Zambia (2023) and Tunisia (2024), the African Regional Aquaculture (AFRAQ) Conferences have shown steady growth. It is however important to emphasize that Aquaculture Safari 2025 is a World Aquaculture Conference, incorporating both the continental event and the showcase global event. Undoubtedly, it will address key African topics such as tilapia and catfish production, but the conference will cater to a global audience covering a diverse range of presentations, species, meetings, discussions, workshops and more. Commitments of participation have been received from developmental partners, the likes of the FAO, the World Bank, the African Development Bank, Deutsche Gesellschaft fur Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), the African Union and others. The trade show and exhibition promises to assemble the largest selection of aquaculture goods and service providers under one roof, in Africa, to date.
