The Total Energies Africa Cup of Nations is likely to be massive, and will be hosted jointly by Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania from 19 June to 17 of July 2027, marking the first time three countries are co-hosting Africa’s biggest football tournament. Like her neighbors, Uganda too will welcome thousands of fans, players, team officials, media personnel, sponsors, and travelers to cities like Kampala, Hoima, and Lira.
With matches at Namboole stadium, Hoima City stadium in the west, along with Akii Bua Stadium in Lira as reserve, the country anticipates a variety of visitors to come in, and this will lead to high demand for reliable, and professional transportation.
The pressure is likely to sky rocket, and Blue Lion safaris stands out as the top car hire company in Uganda especially for AFCON 2027. The company aims at offering seamless transportation solutions to all travelers from across the world.
Why AFCON 2027 requires seamless transport services.
Hosting AFCON involves deep logistics that include,
- Airport pickups for international visitors arriving at Entebbe.
- Daily shuttles between hotels, stadiums, training grounds, and fan zones in Kampala and other host cities.
- Transport for media crews and technical teams with tight schedules.
- Group movements for supporters and corporate hospitality packages.

A reliable transport partner is critical to ensure easy traveling, while ensuring safety, and maintaining comfort in varying weather conditions.
