AFCON 1-Day Safari Important information
AFCON 2027 is scheduled for 19 June to 17 July 2027 and will be jointly hosted by Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda.
The best approach is to choose the safari destination based on your hotel location and match plans. Travellers based in Arusha can consider Tarangire, while those staying in other parts of Tanzania may be better served by a closer wildlife destination.
This one-day safari is ideal for visitors who want to experience Tanzania’s wildlife without extending their AFCON holiday. It provides a focused day in the bush, with transport, a guided game drive and a picnic lunch arranged around your available time.
