The Africa Cup of Nations arrives in East Africa. Combine the electric atmosphere of live football with a once‑in‑a‑lifetime safari. Real budgets, stadium city hotels, and seamless safari extensions.
AFCON 2027 will be held across Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda in June and July. Most travellers combine 2–3 nights in a host city (Nairobi, Dar es Salaam, or Kampala) with a 4–7 night safari extension. The total land cost (excluding match tickets and international flights) ranges from USD 3,800 to USD 12,500+ per person.
From city‑focused football weekends to full‑on safari odysseys. All packages include match‑day transfers, recommended hotels, and a seamless safari extension.
Perfect for fans who want to soak up the atmosphere. Boutique city hotel, private airport transfers, and assistance with match‑day logistics.
The quintessential AFCON experience. 2 nights in Arusha or Nairobi for a group stage match, then 5 nights on safari in the Serengeti or Masai Mara.
Two matches across two host cities, then a seamless light‑aircraft transfer to a luxury tented camp. Private vehicle and senior guide throughout.
Follow your team across Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda. Includes matches in at least two countries, plus gorilla trekking in Bwindi and the Serengeti.
Beyond match tickets, these decisions determine whether you spend $4k or $15k.
Accommodation in Nairobi and Dar es Salaam will be at a premium. Choosing a match in a secondary city (e.g., Arusha or Mwanza) can lower hotel costs and offer easier safari access.
June and July are peak safari months — the Great Migration is in full swing. Camp rates are at their highest. Booking 12+ months ahead is essential to secure space and reasonable rates.
Flying between Nairobi, Kilimanjaro, and the Serengeti saves a full day of driving. It adds cost but maximizes time both at matches and on safari.
A private safari vehicle and dedicated guide allow flexibility around match schedules. Shared group safaris are cheaper but operate on fixed timetables.
If Uganda is on your AFCON list, a gorilla permit alone costs USD 800 per person. Adding Bwindi to a safari itinerary significantly increases the total but is a bucket‑list experience.
Official ticket prices are set by CAF. Category 1 tickets for knockout stages will be higher than group stage Category 3. We advise budgeting USD 50–300 per match depending on the fixture.
Priced per person sharing. Excludes international flights and match tickets. Fully customizable.

Secure your safari space 12+ months out with a refundable deposit. You can add match logistics later once the fixture list is announced.
Private safari vehicle costs split evenly, and group rates at city hotels offer better value than solo or couple bookings.
If matches are scheduled in Arusha, you're already at the gateway to the Serengeti, saving a domestic flight and a night's hotel.
A single USD 100 visa covers Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda. It saves time and money compared to three separate visas.
Flight prices drop significantly a few days after the tournament ends. Combine the final with a longer safari for better overall value.
Sign up on CAF's website to be notified when tickets go on sale. Buying early ensures face‑value prices and better seat selection.
The 2027 Africa Cup of Nations will be co‑hosted by Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda in June and July 2027. Exact match venues will be confirmed by CAF; expected stadiums are in Nairobi, Dar es Salaam, Kampala, Arusha, and Mwanza.
As a Destination Management Company, we do not sell or resell match tickets. Tickets are sold exclusively through official CAF channels. We provide full travel logistics, accommodation, and safari extensions, and we guide you on how to secure tickets when sales open.
Fly into Nairobi or Kilimanjaro, attend 1–2 matches in the opening week, then head straight to the bush for a 5–7 night safari. Return to the city for a knockout match or depart from the safari airstrip. We handle all the internal connections.
For a comfortable mid‑range experience, budget USD 5,000–7,000 per person (land only). Luxury fly‑in safaris with premium camps run USD 9,000–14,000. Add international flights and match tickets separately.
Yes. The East African Community facilitates easy travel between the three nations. We recommend the East Africa Tourist Visa. Our ground teams provide 24/7 support and private transfers throughout your journey.
We strongly advise booking safari camps and city hotels 12–18 months in advance. The combination of peak safari season and a major football tournament means the best rooms and camps sell out early.
