ENTREPRENEURS BOOT CAMP

Entrepreneurs Boot Camp is a unique mentorship event with the main aim being the facilitation of a platform for sharing experiences between experienced entrepreneurs and the upcoming ones.  The organizers also encourage entrepreneurship in Africa and connect mentees to mentors. Above and beyond that, the camp is centered on emphasizing the importance of the Pan-African agenda as being the best way forward. 
The boot camp will take place in Masai Mara, Kileleoni Camp from the 19th of December to the 22nd of December. It is the brain child of Eric Kinoti who is the founder and managing director of Shade Systems, Alma Tents, Bag Base Kenya and SafiSana Home Services.
