Good deals to Africa on KLM - Nairobi down to $1043 roundtrip after tax
KLM is having a 'flash sale' to Africa for the next 5 days, and the prices are definitely notable.
http://www.klm.com/travel/ca_en/plan_and_book/special_offers/flight_offers/flash_fares.htm
Accra $1190
Entebbe $1190
Nairobi $1190
Mombasa $1300
Johannesburg $1490
Lagos $1490
Now, these are the prices on KLM.com but there appears to be cheaper flights available through other sites.
This search in September on Kayak.com for example, reveals one through Vayama.com for $1043 CDN roundtrip after tax...

You can find similarly priced flights in October/November as well. There also appear to be some to Mombasa that are down to around $1000. Try 3 day flexible date searches on Kayak and see what comes up.
If someone were to ask me what they could expect to pay for a great deal to get from Calgary to Nairobi, I would tell them that the bottom price stays pretty consistent at around $1500 roundtrip after tax. And it's not exactly a destination that goes on sale all too often. So a true 30% discount off the usual bottom price is definitely notable.
If you're thinking Africa this year, you should definitely be having a look today.
Oh, and this is the place I'm hoping to stay at one day, it's called Giraffe Manor, just outside of Nairobi...
Whaddya think?
