AFCON 2027 in 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.

Getting there, getting around
Airports and transport
Julius Nyerere International in Dar es Salaam is the main international gateway. Zanzibar has its own international airport and is about twenty minutes away by air, or a couple of hours by ferry, which is what makes the beach extension so straightforward.
Match-day transport
We arrange airport transfers and transport to the ground for every booking. Once CAF confirms venues we coordinate match-day movement for your group directly — this is the part supporters most often underestimate in an unfamiliar city.
Travel tips
- Zanzibar is the most requested add-on we handle. If you want it, say so early — island accommodation tightens well before mainland hotels do.
- The northern safari circuit (Serengeti, Ngorongoro) is a long way from Dar es Salaam. It works as an extension with internal flights, not as a day trip.
- Ramadan observance is widespread on Zanzibar and affects restaurant hours. Check the dates against your travel window.
Where to stay
We hold no published hotel inventory for the tournament period — host-city rates are not yet contracted, and a stadium-distance claim before CAF names a venue would be invented.

Entry rules for Tanzania depend on your passport, not your departure country. We confirm current requirements for your specific passport with your quote, and we always point you to the official source rather than restating rules that change.

The other hosts
Combine all three
AFCON 2027 is a joint tournament. Many supporters visit more than one host country in a single trip.
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.

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.
