Why Combine AFCON 2027 with a Kenya Safari?

•           The timing is perfect. The tournament runs from June 19 to July 17, 2027, and July is when the Masai Mara’s peak wildlife season begins to build. Football fans can see the Great Migration season in the same trip.

•           Match days are not every day. Between fixtures you have free days. We fill them with big cats, elephants, Maasai culture and beach time instead of hotel-room waiting.

•           One team handles everything. Hotel or Airbnb, restaurants, private vehicle, park fees, game drives and beach, all planned together and priced clearly.

•           It sells out early. Nairobi hotels, Mara camps and Diani resorts all fill up in June and July, and a major tournament adds even more demand. Early booking gets you the best stays and rates.

Your AFCON 2027 Itinerary: 10 Days, 9 Nights (Sample)

This is our most popular shape, and it flexes around your fixtures. Once CAF confirms the match schedule, we place your Nairobi nights before, between or after your safari so you never miss a game.

Days 1 to 3: Nairobi, Match Days and City Highlights

We meet you at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport and transfer you to your hotel or Airbnb. Spend your Nairobi days on match day, with fan-zone atmosphere, nyama choma and great company. On free days, join a half-day game drive in Nairobi National Park, where lions roam with the city skyline behind them, then visit the Giraffe Centre and the David Sheldrick elephant orphanage.

Days 4 to 6: Masai Mara Safari

Leave the city for the Masai Mara, Kenya’s most famous reserve. Enjoy morning and afternoon game drives for lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants and the Big Five. Meet the Maasai community with a respectful cultural visit, and end the day with a sundowner in the savannah. Read our Masai Mara safari guide to see what to expect.

Days 7 to 10: Diani Beach Escape

Fly south to Kenya’s tropical coast. Spend three nights on Diani Beach: swim, snorkel, sail on a traditional dhow, eat fresh seafood and sleep to the sound of the Indian Ocean. Your final morning ends with a private transfer to the airport. See our Diani Beach travel guide for more.

Prefer a different length? The 7-day Fan Essential skips the beach, and the 12-day Fan VIP adds Amboseli and a longer coast stay. Every itinerary is private and can be adjusted.
