I’m not one to sensationalize fare deals, but US-Africa for less than $600 is awesome. Right now, you can book Chicago to Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania on multiple airlines with wide availability.
The Details
- Valid for dates from October 2019-January 2020 (excluding Christmas and New Year).
- Chicago-Dar Es Salaam.
- Swiss Airlines and Delta appear to have the best availability.

Example Routes
Shave off a few hours for a couple dollars more.
You can book direct with Delta for a really fun mileage run.
Conclusion
My journeys around Africa have been limited to Egypt and Ethiopia, and I’ve been dying for a safari experience for years. If this worked with my schedule I’d jump on it immediately. So should you!
Are you going to book this? Want to take me with you?

Any other African countries available, or only Tanzania?
Hi Melinda, I didn’t see the discount available for other countries, but it’s definitely work taking a look to see. Both of the link above (for Skyscanner and AirMatrix) can be used with whole month view so you can check out quickly whether or not there are discounted fares available.
Thank you Carissa.
