AFCON 2027 Football & Safari Experience - Overview

AFCON 2027 is a genuine milestone for East Africa — the first time the Africa Cup of Nations has ever been co-hosted by three countries, and East Africa's first AFCON in over fifty years. Tanzania is expected to host matches in Dar es Salaam at the Benjamin Mkapa Stadium, with Arusha and Zanzibar also proposed as venues. This package is built for fans who want more than just the stadium experience — it pairs your time at AFCON 2027 with a proper Northern Circuit safari through Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti, timed to fall during peak Great Migration season.

Important note on match tickets and fixtures: CAF has not yet released the official fixture list, exact venues, or ticket sale dates for AFCON 2027. This itinerary is built as a flexible framework — we design your safari and accommodation around whichever match dates you confirm once tickets go on sale, rather than locking you into a rigid schedule now. Reach out to us and we'll adjust the plan as official information is released.

Duration: 8 Days (flexible around your confirmed match dates)

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ

Are match tickets included in this package?

No. CAF has not yet released official ticket sales for AFCON 2027, so tickets are purchased separately once sales open. This package covers your accommodation, safari and match-day transport logistics — we'll advise you directly once ticket information is public.

FAQ

Can I book this before the fixture list is confirmed?

Yes. We recommend booking your hotel base and safari now, since availability tightens fast as the tournament approaches. We'll adjust the exact day-by-day schedule once your match dates and CAF's official fixtures are confirmed.

FAQ

Why is June-July a good time for the safari portion?

AFCON 2027 runs from 19 June to 17 July, which falls in Tanzania's dry season and peak Great Migration period — the same window safari operators consider the best time of year to visit the Serengeti and Ngorongoro.

FAQ

Can this package include Zanzibar or Kilimanjaro too?

Yes — many travelers extend this trip with a few days in Zanzibar or add a Mount Meru or Kilimanjaro climb. Message us and we'll build the extension into your itinerary.

FAQ

Why should I book this now if the schedule isn't final?

Hotels, safari vehicles and guides in Tanzania will be in very high demand during AFCON 2027. Securing your base now protects your price and availability — the itinerary itself stays flexible and gets finalized closer to the tournament.
