Remember in addition to cheap flights on an African safari airline, you may fly for free too! Today, almost all of the major airlines in the US, Canada, the UK and Europe belong to one of the major airline alliances. So if you have frequent flyer miles you should see if you can get a free African safari airline ticket to Africa. Remember there are two ways to have accumulated these points or miles. One way is if you fly a lot. The second way to have frequent flier points is because you use certain credit cards a lot. So you may have more points at your disposal than you think! South African Airways, Kenya Airways and Ethiopian Airlines are the airlines with the best networks in Africa. Unless you travel a lot in Africa you are unlikely have many points in their frequent flyer programs. Fortunately, however most airlines belong to one of the major airline alliances. South African Airways belongs to the Star Alliance, the other two (Kenya Airways & Ethiopian Airlines) don't belong to an alliance. (Though KLM owns a big share of Kenya Airways.) We have given you a free guide to what airlines belong to what alliances. One benefit of the alliances is that if your airline does not fly directly to South Africa (Johannesburg, Cape Town), Kenya (Nairobi), Tanzania (Arusha – Kilimanjaro, Dar es Salaam) or Namibia (Windhoek) one of its airline alliance partners should. If you have enough points, then you have a good chance of using your frequent flier points to get a free flight to South Africa, Kenya, Tanzania, Victoria Falls or Namibia to go on your safari. Here is what you have to do to get the free flights: - find your airline you have frequent flyer points with,
- see what alliance it belongs to
- contact them and tell them you want to use your frequent flier points to get to Johannesburg, Cape Town, Windhoek, Nairobi, Dar es Salaam or Arusha.
It’s as simple as that!We’ll meet you at one of these airports and take you on your safari.
