AFCON 2027 Travel Packages: What's Available, What's Included & How to Book
Everything you need to know about AFCON 2027 travel packages. What's included, which package suits you, how pricing works, and how to book from the UK, US, or Africa. Opening Ceremony $2,499 · Group Stage $3,999 · Final VIP $5,999.
AFCON 2027 is the first Africa Cup of Nations to be co-hosted by three countries simultaneously — Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda. That changes how fans travel. You are not just booking a trip to a city. You are coordinating cross-border movement, three visa regimes, accommodation across multiple host cities, and match tickets for a schedule that spans 50+ games over 29 days.
That is a lot to manage individually. An AFCON 2027 travel package handles all of it in a single booking.
This guide explains what AFCON 2027 travel packages include, which package type suits different fan profiles, how pricing is structured, and how to book — whether you are travelling from the UK, the US, another part of Africa, or the diaspora.
What is an AFCON 2027 travel package?
An AFCON 2027 travel package is an all-inclusive booking that combines the core components of your trip into one confirmed arrangement:
- Return international flights from your departure city
- Hotel accommodation in the relevant host city for the nights you need
- Match tickets for your selected games (category depends on package tier)
- Airport transfers on arrival and departure
- Visa guidance documentation for Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda
- Dedicated trip support — a point of contact before and during your trip
The alternative is self-booking: flights on one platform, hotels on another, match tickets (if available) through a third, and coordination on your own. For a single-country tournament that is manageable. For a three-country tournament like AFCON 2027, it is genuinely difficult to get right, and expensive to fix if you get it wrong.
The three Cantravu AFCON 2027 packages
Opening Ceremony Package — from $2,499 per person
This package is built around the opening match and ceremony. AFCON 2027 opens on 19 June 2027, and the opening ceremony at the host stadium is expected to be one of the most watched events in African football history — the first time the tournament has opened across three nations.
What is included:

Best for: fans who want to be at the start of history and have a short trip around it. Also popular with corporate groups using AFCON as a team experience.
Group Stage Explorer — from $3,999 per person
This is the most popular package. It covers three group stage matches across the host nations — meaning you may move between Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda depending on fixture allocation. Cantravu manages all the inter-city transfers and accommodation moves.

Final Weekend VIP — from $5,999 per person
The tournament closes on 17 July 2027 with the final, and the semi-finals the two days prior. This package covers the semi-final and final in premium seating, with 5-star accommodation and business class flights.
What is included:
- Semi-final + final match tickets (premium/VIP seating)
- 5-star hotel accommodation
- Business class international flights
- VIP lounge access on matchdays

Can I customise a package?
Yes. All three standard packages are starting points, not fixed products. Common customisations include:
- Different match selections — adjust which games you attend based on your team's fixture allocation once the schedule is confirmed
- Extended stays — add nights for safari, coastal trips, or city exploration
- Different hotel categories — upgrade or adjust based on budget
- Group pricing — for 10 or more people, pricing and coordination are handled differently (see below)
- Different departure cities — packages are priced from selected origins; if yours is not listed, contact us for a quote
AFCON 2027 packages for groups
Fan clubs, friend groups, and corporate travel bookings of 10 or more people receive custom pricing and dedicated coordination. Group packages typically include:
- Volume pricing on accommodation and transfers
- A dedicated Cantravu trip coordinator assigned to your group
- Flexible payment structure (deposit now, balance closer to travel)
- Optional itinerary customisation — stadium days, cultural days, safari days
- WhatsApp group support before and during travel
Group bookings for AFCON 2027 should be initiated as early as possible. Accommodation blocks in host cities are limited, and tournament demand means the best-value hotels go first.
Who books AFCON 2027 travel packages?
Based on our current enquiries, the primary booking profiles are:
Diaspora fans (UK, US, Europe): African fans living abroad who want to attend the tournament as a homecoming trip — combining football with seeing family and friends across East Africa.
Local fans (within Africa): Fans based in West or Central Africa travelling to East Africa for the first time, or East African fans looking to attend multiple host cities without managing the logistics themselves.
Corporate groups: Businesses using AFCON as a team-building or client entertainment experience, particularly in the UK, South Africa, and Nigeria.
