It covers 4 nights in Arusha, pickup and drop-off at Kilimanjaro International Airport, return transfers to the Samia Suluhu Hassan Stadium for two matches, a private Arusha National Park day trip and a half day canoeing on Lake Duluti.

Who Is the AFCON Arusha Fan Base For?
It suits supporters whose team plays in Arusha and who want the football at the center of a short trip, with everything around the matches taken care of. You arrive, we handle the transfers and the timing, and the free days go on Tanzania rather than on taxis and logistics.
| This package suits you if… | Consider another trip if… |
|---|---|
| Your team's matches are in Arusha and you have about five days | You want the Serengeti too: AFCON matches, Serengeti and Zanzibar |
| You'd like wildlife between matches without long drives | You'd like to climb first: AFCON Kilimanjaro and matches |
| You're traveling as a couple, a family or a small fan group | Your team plays in Dar es Salaam: see the Dar es Salaam options in our AFCON 2027 Tanzania travel guide |
The Samia Suluhu Hassan Stadium is a new 30,000–32,000-seat stadium under construction and one of four proposed Tanzanian venues; CAF confirms the venues with the fixtures. If your team's matches end up in Dar es Salaam or Zanzibar instead, we rebuild the plan around that city and requote it.
