PLEASE NOTE: This is the combined Dental + Medical Conference in August 2026, which is separate from the Medical Conference July 2026,
You smell the dust stirred up by all those hooves, you hear the cacophony of lowing, expectantly you watch as thousands of wildebeest mill on the riverbank – which one will be the bravest (or is it the most stupid?) and start the crossing. Suddenly, a couple of beasts break away, heading to the edge and then you are overwhelmed by the whole event – thousands of animals, one after the other, careening down the bank, plunging into the water, struggling against the rush of the river, pushing their way across and pouring up the bank closest to you. This IS the “greatest natural show on earth”.
Live a lifetime dream and join us for this, and so much more – the spectacular scenery, the enthralling game viewing, the fascinating culture – on Unconventional Conventions’ East Africa conference safari.

Academic Program.

Zanzibar – the very name evokes an aura of the exotic. Laze on palm-lined stretches of powder-white sand, savour the intoxicating aroma of spices, sail on traditional dhow fishing boats, explore the labyrinthine laneways of historic Stone Town, experience the thriving mélange of African, Arabic, Indian and European cultures – what better place to leave behind your everyday stresses and “pole, pole” (slowly, slowly) relax into your African safari.
Join us on this magical trip to the legendary island of Zanzibar and, as they say in Swahili, “HAKUNA MATATA” (no worries).
The prefect way to start your time in Africa – two days staying in a safari lodge to enjoy close encounters with wildlife by land and boat, and a couple of days of your own adventures around Victoria Falls.
