There have been deep discount fares around $700 round trip from LAX and SFO to Cape Town, Johannesburg and Nairobi in the past week with Delta-KLM.
The destination that stands out to me is Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania. There have been no discount fares to Dar Es Salaam DAR that I have seen in the past couple of months, although Delta/KLM can get you there for around $900 on some dates. Most round trip fares to DAR from California are around $1,150 to $1,300.
Tanzania has seen several major chain brand hotels open in the past couple of years. This is a location of international history and colonialism and a land of wildlife and beauty that has attracted lots of hotel eco-tourism development. Park Hyatt Zanzibar and several Hilton brand hotels like DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Dar es Salaam – Oyster Bay and DoubleTree Resort by Hilton Hotel Zanzibar – Nungwi. Marriott has five Protea hotels in Tanzania with their acquisition of the African hotel chain last year.
