Kenya 🦓 in £290s-£320s rtn

Premium Deal Alert: 21 March 2025

Looks like Saudia isn’t quite done yet, with another long-haul under £300 rtn!

This week's turn is Nairobi in lower season, which — besides daily downpours and lower crowds — means the parks are at peak greenery, with full rivers and rolling plains of fresh grasslands.

And not only that, that's the best time to spot newborns on a safari! Honestly, is there anything sweeter than watching baby zebras frolicking in emerald fields?

Still not convinced? Myself and two other Flight Finders went on a budget, rainy safari last year — you can read about how it went here :-)

FYI, the fares in the £290s will have you leave from London Gatwick and land back in London Heathrow. For an extra £20, you can book them from/to Heathrow only instead. We know the airport is closed today, but we assume it will be back up and running very soon!
