To find the cheapest flights to Africa, book tickets 2-3 months in advance before your planned trip. Flexibility with dates is key - midweek flights are usually cheaper than weekend ones. Use TICKETS.COM.PL to compare prices from different airlines and booking portals. Monitor seasonal promotions, especially during off-peak tourist periods. Consider flights with layovers instead of direct ones - they can be significantly cheaper. Sign up for price alerts for selected routes. Check different departure airports in Poland - sometimes a flight from Katowice or Krakow may be cheaper than from Warsaw.

The cheapest flights to Africa can be found outside the tourist season, which varies depending on the region. To North Africa, it's best to fly in spring or autumn, avoiding summer heat and winter holidays. To East and South Africa, the lowest prices occur during the rainy season - March-May and November. Avoid holiday periods, school vacations, and main safari seasons. Book tickets on Tuesdays and Wednesdays when airlines often announce promotions. Night flights are usually cheaper than daytime ones. Monitor last-minute offers, but remember that earlier booking provides greater certainty of low prices.

The best time for safari depends on the region and what you want to see. In East Africa (Kenya, Tanzania) the best time is the dry season from June to October, when animals gather at waterholes. The Great Migration in Serengeti and Masai Mara takes place from July to September. In South Africa (South Africa, Botswana) the best period is the dry winter from May to September - sparser vegetation makes animal observation easier. In Uganda and Rwanda, gorillas can be observed year-round, but best from June to September and December to February. The rainy season offers lower prices and fewer tourists, though animal observation may be more difficult. Book safari in advance, especially for peak season.
