Nairobi, Dar es Salaam and Kampala are useful regional starting points. Tanzania's football federation also identifies Arusha and Zanzibar (Fumba) in its September 2026 stadium-preparation inspections. These are not final CAF match-city or fixture allocations. E03, E05.
Nairobi
Plan Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, the city base and any onward rail separately. Kenya Railways operates the Madaraka Express Nairobi–Mombasa passenger service. Its published schedule/termini may help plan a coast extension, but it is not evidence of an AFCON stadium shuttle. Check live times and tickets with the operator. E16.
Dar es Salaam
Julius Nyerere International Airport offers a reference point for city and onward travel. Tanzania Railways' e-ticketing portal is an official place to check rail options for a particular date and station. It does not establish a match transfer service or guarantee unchanged tournament-period schedules. E17.
The existing KAONE Trip Scheduling concerns supported protected-area activity feasibility; it does not infer intercity transfers.
Arusha
CAF's February 2026 inspection programme named Samia Suluhu Stadium in Arusha, and TFF's September report included Arusha in the planned Tanzania venues. This is documented tournament preparation, not a final CAF fixture assignment. E05, CAF report. For a northern Tanzania journey, compare the actual arrival airport (including Arusha versus Kilimanjaro-area options), your accommodation base, onward routes and possible park or mountain plans. Check the operator's schedules and transfer arrangements for your exact dates rather than assuming a stadium shuttle or a journey time.
Zanzibar
CAF's programme included Amaan Stadium and Fumba Stadium in Zanzibar, while TFF's subsequent report identifies Fumba in its planned venues. E05. Distinguish an island-based visit from onward Mainland travel; check the specific airport, port and connections and review Mainland/Zanzibar insurance applicability. No match-day ferry, airport transfer or shuttle timetable is established by the inspection report.
Kampala
Allow for the distinct Entebbe airport–Kampala journey when choosing a stay. The reviewed CAF inspection material does not provide a verified Kampala match-day shuttle, stadium-access timetable or accessible-route plan. Check Uganda LOC and operators when they publish details. E18.
Before commitment
Check the exact airport or station, baggage needs, accessibility, operating dates, route changes, match-day security perimeter and last-mile instructions. Do not invent transfer times or fan buses; A06 retains the pending event question.
