If you're planning a trip to Africa, one of the first things you should look into is your flight. There aren't too many airlines servicing the continent so flights book up really quickly. A decent fare from the US to most destinations in Africa should run about $1000-$1200. If you are flying from the US to Morocco or Egypt, your fare should cost you between $750-$950. I have some tips to help you find the cheapest airfare to Africa.

Even if you are planning to buy a vacation package with airfare included, it is always a good idea to make sure you aren't getting overcharged on the airfare portion. You can always opt for a "land-only" package and find your own flights.
