Security Assignments in Africa
Kings and queens. Rainforests and risk. When reality outpaces imagination.
Africa is not just a continent – it's a world of contrasts, traditions, and unpredictability.
Stiig Waever has spent years working across some of the continent’s most complex and remote regions, and his work there continues to this day.

In this vivid and action-packed keynote, Stiig shares unforgettable moments from his time in Africa - from meetings with traditional kings and queens, to high-level encounters with government officials, and missions deep into the rainforest tracking down hidden tribes.
Drawing on experiences from countries like Congo and beyond, he brings you:
*Cultural clashes that turned into valuable lessons
*First-hand insight into places where rules are negotiable
*Surprising, funny, and sometimes surreal stories
*And a deeper understanding of a continent too often misunderstood
This is a journey where chaos meets wisdom, and where danger, beauty, and humanity collide.
Africa – as seen through the eyes of a man who’s not only been there… but keeps going back!
