This week is all about the Motherland. While our focus is mainly on South Africa, we can’t forget about the rest of Mother Africa.
Right now, SWISS Air has a sale on flights from Chicago to Nairobi, Kenya. The lowest priced routes can be found for only $579 round-trip.
This promotion has very limited dates. The sale routes can be found throughout October and November of this year. It is best to use Skyscanner to find the lowest prices available.
These flights include some long layovers in Zurich, Switzerland. You can get out and explore the city while you wait. Why not make it a 2-for-1 deal?

Nairobi, Kenya’s capital city, has so much to offer. If you are short on time you can start with a safari at Nairobi National Park. This inner-city reserve is truly one-of-a-kind. You can get up close and personal with the park’s wildlife while getting a glimpse of Nairobi’s city scape in the background.
If you have more days to spare, book a safari out in Masai Mara. You will need at least 3 days to truly do this trip right.
Another popular option is Giraffe Manor. While staying at the actual manor comes at a very large price, there is an option to simply get cute photos with the giraffes. However, if you’re balling like that and decide to stay, you will be one of the lucky few that gets the famous picture of a giraffe peaking through the window while you eat breakfast.
Last but not least, take a trip to the Bomas of Kenya. This is a museum-like place that shows replicas of the villages of several native Kenyan tribes. They also offer a daily song and dance show that is worth seeing.
This deal is going to go fast. Don’t sleep on it.
