Getting to AFCON 2027 from DR Congo

DR Congo is well connected to two of the host countries. From Kinshasa (FIH), Kenya Airways flies nonstop to Nairobi and Air Tanzania nonstop to Dar es Salaam, and Lubumbashi (FBM) in the south-east has nonstop flights to both cities on the same two airlines (checked September 2026).

Entebbe and Zanzibar need one connection, which works through Nairobi or Dar es Salaam. Ethiopian Airlines, via Addis Ababa, is the other option from both Kinshasa and Lubumbashi and serves all four gateways.

French is the official language, but Swahili is one of DR Congo’s four national languages, so many Congolese travellers — especially from the east — will share a language with their hosts; for everyone else, English is the working language of hotels and transport in the region.

US dollars circulate widely alongside the Congolese franc (CDF). The central bank has said it plans to restrict cash-dollar payments from April 2027 while keeping dollar accounts and electronic payments, so check the rules nearer departure if you intend to carry dollar cash. Which entry documents you need is decided by your passport, and we set them out in your quote.

Planning your journey

What we can tell you today

Routing and fares

Airlines have not released AFCON-period schedules or fares. Rather than publish estimates that will be wrong, we quote your exact routing from DR Congo on request, once your dates and matches are known.

Entry requirements

Entry rules for Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda depend on your passport, not your departure country. Uganda has announced a visa waiver for the tournament period whose rules are not yet published; Kenya and Tanzania have announced none. We confirm current requirements for your specific passport with your quote.

Where you are heading

The three host countries

All destinations

Safari country and East Africa’s busiest gateway

Kenya

Kenya combines the region’s most connected international airport with the Maasai Mara and the Kenyan coast, making it the natural base for supporters who want football and safari in one trip.

Plan my trip

Zanzibar, Serengeti and the Indian Ocean

Tanzania

Tanzania offers the strongest holiday extension of the three hosts — Zanzibar’s beaches and the northern safari circuit are both within easy reach of the mainland gateways.

Plan my trip

The source of the Nile and gorilla country

Uganda

Uganda is the most compact of the three hosts, with Entebbe close to Kampala and adventure travel — rafting at Jinja, gorilla trekking in the southwest — within reach of a tournament trip.

Bringing a group from DR Congo?
