AFCON · 19 June – 17 July 2027

The tournament comes to our doorstep

The 2027 Africa Cup of Nations is co-hosted by Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda — the first AFCON staged by three nations. In Tanzania, matches are set for Dar es Salaam, Arusha and Zanzibar.

Arusha is our home base and the gateway to Tanzania’s northern parks. That means you can watch a match and, the very next day, be watching lions in the Serengeti or standing on the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater. We plan the whole thing around the fixtures.

“Ninety minutes of football. A lifetime of wild.”

Good to know

AFCON 2027 & your safari — questions

When is AFCON 2027 and who is hosting?
The 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (the TotalEnergies CAF Africa Cup of Nations, "PAMOJA 2027") runs from 19 June to 17 July 2027. It is co-hosted by Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda — the first AFCON staged by three nations.
Which Tanzanian cities host AFCON 2027 matches?
In Tanzania, matches are planned for Dar es Salaam (Benjamin Mkapa Stadium), Arusha (the new Samia Suluhu Hassan Stadium) and Zanzibar. Arusha is our home base and the gateway to the northern safari circuit, so combining football with a safari could not be easier.
Can I fit a safari between matches?
Absolutely. From Arusha you can do a full day in Tarangire or the Ngorongoro Crater and be back the same evening, or take two to three days in the Serengeti between fixtures. We plan it around the match schedule.
Do you arrange trips for groups of fans?
Yes. Whether you are a couple, a family or a group of supporters, we organise private vehicles, guides and lodges to suit the group. Tell us your numbers and dates and we will put together the options.
Do you sell AFCON match tickets?
No. We are a safari and tour operator, not a ticket agent. We take care of everything around the football — safaris, Kilimanjaro, Zanzibar, airport transfers and city tours in Arusha and Moshi.
How do transfers between stadiums and parks work?
We handle airport pick-ups and all ground transfers with English-speaking driver-guides, so you can move between your hotel, the stadium and the parks without any stress.

Golden Kit Tours & Safaris is an independent, locally owned tour operator. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or an official partner of CAF, the Africa Cup of Nations or PAMOJA 2027, and we do not sell match tickets. We help visitors coming to Tanzania for AFCON 2027 experience the country’s wildlife, mountains and coast. Event details are based on public announcements and may change.
