Tanzania awaits
well beyond the stadium

AFCON 2027 will be co-hosted by Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda. A unique opportunity to experience African football and discover, on the Tanzanian side, one of the continent's most remarkable countries.

Please note: Safari & Wellness Africa is not an official AFCON 2027 partner and does not sell match tickets. We offer tailor-made travel experiences around the tournament — safaris, islands, local culture, beach extensions — for travellers, groups, diaspora communities, companies, associations, and supporters who want to make the most of their time in Tanzania and discover much more than the tournament itself.

A window onto Tanzania

You came for the matches.
Stay for the rest.

Tanzania is far more than a playing field. It's the Serengeti, the beaches of Zanzibar, the Amani forests, the Hadzabe and Maasai peoples, the lesser-known islands of Mafia and Pemba. We create the itineraries that turn your AFCON trip into a complete African experience.

Experiences to combine

Before, during, or after the matches

Every experience is designed to fit around your match schedule. You set the dates — we build the rest.

Trip ideas

Combinations that make sense

Here are some combinations we have in mind for you — each one can be adapted to your group, your dates, and your budget.

Matches + Northern Safari

Fly into Dar es Salaam or Kilimanjaro. Safari in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Return for the matches. Zanzibar extension possible. The great Tanzanian classic, built around the tournament.

Friends + Football + Zanzibar, Mafia, or Pemba

A week combining matches, African evenings, and a few days on an Indian Ocean island. For groups of friends who want to experience AFCON differently — with their feet in the water and their hearts in the moment.

Southern Safari + Beach

Nyerere, Mikumi, Ruaha — the confidential and uncrowded south — followed by an extension to the Indian Ocean islands: Mafia Island, Pemba Island, or Zanzibar. For those who want to go off the beaten track.

Family + AFCON + Discovery

A family programme built around a few matches, with experiences suited to children: safari, cultural immersion, beach time, and encounters with local communities.

Corporate + AFCON Incentive

Combine one or more matches with a seminar or incentive trip in Tanzania. We handle the full logistics for your team — from the stadium to the savanna.

Diaspora + Return to roots

AFCON 2027 is a rare opportunity to return to East Africa in a festive atmosphere. We create experiences that blend football, culture, meaningful encounters, and deep emotion.
