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.

On the ground

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 requirements

Entry rules for Tanzania depend on your passport, not your departure country, and tournament-period arrangements have not been announced. 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.

Hotels we can approach in Tanzania

Grouped by city, including the places with no destination page of their own. Nothing here is contracted inventory — there is no published rate and no availability.

Nothing here is contracted inventory: we publish no tournament rate and no availability. Star ratings come from the property, a booking platform or a national tourism board — each hotel’s page says which, and where the address came from.

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.

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.
