I managed to find return fares for $1200 from the Australian East Coast. The next closest price was $2000+ but with an additional transit point, otherwise its $3000+ for a one-stop itinerary.

Haven't been to Africa but would like to tick it off the travel bucket list someday. Maybe better now than never?

        The bill has been defeated. It should be over, right?

    Pretty good deal tbh to get to Africa on the cheap.

    Sure, it's no $500 with Qantas points in biz class from Sydney to Johannesburg, but to get to East Africa it's a pretty viable option

    Now that’s African deal!

  • JamesLucas on 02/07/2024 - 20:18

    Another option is to break up the trip via India. eg One way to Delhi then onwards to Nairobi etc.

    • cartwheelz623 on 02/07/2024 - 22:15

      Kenya get a direct flight to Delhi from the east coast?

    wow to add on the value package (seat/meal/20kg( to each flight its $165 each way or approx $122 for 20kg luggage.

    • Windthunder on 02/07/2024 - 21:08

      Don't buy a value package. Have your meals at the airport, buy the minimum amount of luggage you require and don't bother choosing a seat.

    According to Smartraveller, https://www.smartraveller.gov.au/destinations/africa/kenya
    Overall: Exercise a high degree of caution

      Lmao, take those ratings with a pinch of salt and exercise your own caution.

        A lot of work goes into warning Australians of legitimate dangers, for people like you to think they know better. The border with Somalia is porous, and al-Shabaab continues to pose a threat, with civilians regularly targeted.

        I'm not saying you'll be hit, but your government, and the governments of the UK, US and most Western democracies invest significant resources, time, and develop long term relationships with local security authorities to try and provide pragmatic warnings to a populous who as a single entity may be completely ignorant of the theat. If your times up, it's up, but if it is then please make sure your loved ones know you were warned prior, laughed your 'AO' in your blindful ignorance and decided to quote take those warnings with a "take it with a pinch of salt".

        With that said I hope your trip is uneventful. Again it's all a roll of the dice but it sux when you have to be involved in the clean up when things go wrong.

        • adrianhughes1998 on 03/07/2024 - 06:19

          Yes you are correct in elements of terrorism, but like you said when times up times up. I've seen countries with similar threat warnings say e.g. it's not safe to travel when there was one isolated terrorist incident 15 years prior, and you shouldn't go to that region. Look, not to say it won't happen again ever but DYOR to the security situation as to what the factors are, before deciding to travel there.

          I've done a fair bit of travelling and while I would never go to a country where there's a flat out Do Not Visit warning, or go to an active warzone etc etc, I think there is elements of overzealous warning to people out there, that seems over the top in some regards. End of the day, it's up to the traveller, and for the most part with common sense most travellers have an uneventful trip.

      Yowza…

      That's a lot of communicable diseases for one spot haha

      Malaria is widespread, except in Nairobi and places higher than 2500 meters above sea level. Consider taking anti-malarial medication. Other insect-borne diseases including dengue, Rift Valley fever, filariasis and African sleeping sickness are common. Ensure your accommodation is insect-proof. Use insect repellent.
      Yellow Fever is widespread. Get Vaccinated before you travel and bring your vaccination certificate with you.
      HIV/AIDS infection rates are high. Take precautions if you're taking part in high-risk activities.
      You may be exposed to foodborne, waterborne and other infectious diseases include hepatitis, meningococcal disease, measles and cholera. Drink only boiled or bottled water. Avoid raw or undercooked food.

      Some other countries you should also ‘exercise a high degree of caution’ in include France, Belgium, UK, Denmark, Sweden and Germany. I wouldn't leave your house just to be safe
