Africa - Easier to Get to Than You Think!

Africa is closer than you think!

So you want to go on Safari but think there are too many hassles to fly there, right? Did you know there are direct flights from JFK to Kenya? While I'm not promoting any one airline, Kenya Airways has direct flights to Nairobi. Yes, it is almost 14-hour flight but think of what awaits! And hopefully, you will be sleeping or watching movies for most of it.

Another option is a stop in Dubai for a day or two before continuing to Kenya. Dubai has so much to offer from Bedouin camps and desert safaris by camel or Jeep, romantic dinners in a Bedouin camp, shopping like you have never seen, architectural wonders, and culturally enriching museums, to name only a few.

Flight prices fluctuate by the minute, but I ran a few rates for September and October of 2022. As of writing this article, rates are $1,100, economy seats, bags included, round trip from Orlando International Airport with one stop at JFK then straight to Nairobi. More stops, lower price. Easy peasy and considering the cost of air right now, not bad at all!

So if you are thinking about a Safari in the conservancies and parks of Kenya, the home of the safari, don't let flights scare you away.

Maybe you want the Winelands of South Africa with Cape Town, Penguins, and a safari too, give us a call. Airfare currently runs about $300 more for South Africa with 2 stops on the way home.
