Deals on safaris and tours are out there, the difficulty is getting a cheap flight to Africa. But if you follow some of my tips, you'll get a good fare. If the deals below don't match your budget or time frame then turn to page 2 to get tips on lowering your safari costs.The following sites offer good deals and discounts on tours and safaris:
- Africa Guide's last-minute deals and specials: One of the best African tour agents, Africa Guide offers deals on budget and luxury safari tours, adventure tours, diving tours, beach holidays and more.

Pesonally, I consider joining an Overland tour as a wonderful option to see Africa; they are always cheaper than other packages, but perhaps not as luxurious.
