The ETHSafari crypto conference in Kenya is a world away from Token2049… and a completely different mindset.
The six-hour train journey from Nairobi, Kenyas capital, to the coastal city of Mombasa is a pleasant one. Clean carriages, very well-dressed passengers and a punctual timetable make a nice change from the uncertainty of traveling in Africa.
Opening in 2017, it replaced a colonial-era railway line known as the Lunatic Express, which is fitting enough when headed to any sort of crypto event.
My destination, two more hours by car from Mombasa, is ETHSafari in Kilifi, a paradise-like town on the coast, but Im early. Theres yet another Block Train to the second part of the conference the following day.
