A once-in-a-generation year

Two world events. One extraordinary country.

In 2027, Tanzania welcomes the world twice: the 74th Miss World Festival in May, and the Africa Cup of Nations in June and July. Hundreds of thousands of visitors will fly in — and the smart ones will not stop at the ceremony or the stadium.

Because a two-hour drive from the same airports lies the Serengeti, the Ngorongoro Crater, the roof of Africa on Kilimanjaro, and the white sand of Zanzibar. We are a local, family-run team based in Arusha — the gateway to all of it — and we build the trip around your event dates.

“Come for the event. Stay for the wild.”

Good to know

Miss World & AFCON 2027 — your questions

When are Miss World 2027 and AFCON 2027 taking place in Tanzania?
The 74th Miss World Festival is scheduled for May 2027 and runs for about a month. AFCON 2027 (the TotalEnergies CAF Africa Cup of Nations, "PAMOJA 2027") is co-hosted by Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda from 19 June to 17 July 2027. That means from May through July 2027, Tanzania is the place to be — and the perfect time to add a safari.
Which Tanzanian cities host AFCON 2027 matches?
In Tanzania, matches are set 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 it is very easy to combine a match with a safari.
Can I add a short safari around the event dates?
Yes. We arrange everything from a single day in Tarangire or Ngorongoro to a full Serengeti safari, a Kilimanjaro climb or a Zanzibar beach stay. Tell us your free days around the event and we build the trip around them.
Do you sell Miss World or AFCON tickets?
No. We are a safari and tour operator, not a ticketing agent. We help you make the most of your time in Tanzania before, between or after the events — safaris, treks, Zanzibar, airport transfers and city tours.
How far in advance should I book for 2027?
May to July 2027 will be exceptionally busy because of both events, and safari lodges and Kilimanjaro slots fill early. We strongly recommend enquiring as far ahead as possible to secure vehicles, guides and accommodation.
Do you offer airport transfers and English-speaking guides?
Yes. All our guides are local and English-speaking, and we handle airport pick-ups, transfers between cities, and everything in between so you can focus on the event and the wildlife.

Golden Kit Tours & Safaris is an independent, locally owned tour operator. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or an official partner of the Miss World Organisation, CAF, or AFCON / PAMOJA 2027, and we do not sell event tickets. We simply help visitors coming to Tanzania for these events discover the country’s wildlife, mountains and coast. Event names, dates and venues are based on public announcements and may change.
