Uganda is gearing up for one of its most important agricultural gatherings of the year. The Uganda Poultry Show 2026, organised by the Poultry Association of Uganda (PAU), takes place from 11th to 13th September 2026 at the UMA Multipurpose Hall (Uganda Manufacturers Association) in Lugogo, Kampala.
Under the theme “Celebrating Eggs & Poultry Meat”, the three-day event brings together farmers, producers, processors, suppliers, investors and policymakers.
Visitors can expect exhibitions, masterclasses, industry networking and insights into the future of Uganda’s poultry sector.
Whether you are an agribusiness professional or simply curious about African agriculture, this is a unique opportunity to experience Uganda beyond the usual tourist trail.
The best part? The venue sits right next to one of Uganda’s most rewarding tourism districts, Wakiso.
Why Stay in Wakiso During the Uganda Poultry Show 2026?
Wakiso District partly surrounds Kampala and offers a quieter, greener base while remaining within easy reach of Lugogo.
From lakeside relaxation to wildlife encounters and cultural experiences, it is the ideal place to balance business with leisure.
Enjoy Lake Victoria beaches, the Uganda Wildlife Education Centre, Botanical Gardens, and relaxed lakeside resorts while still reaching the show easily each day.
This is the perfect place to balance business sessions with nature, wildlife and evening downtime.
