Travel Guide

Flying to Africa From the UK

Africa is the second-largest and second-most populous continent on earth, spanning 54 countries and an extraordinary diversity of landscapes, cultures and travel experiences. Dream Fare helps UK travellers find the best routes and fares to every corner of Africa.

✈️

Best Airlines for Africa Routes

Ethiopian Airlines and Kenya Airways offer the most extensive African networks. British Airways, Virgin Atlantic and direct national carriers serve major hubs like Lagos, Nairobi, Cape Town and Cairo directly from London. Emirates, Qatar Airways and Turkish Airlines offer competitive pricing and generous baggage to almost anywhere on the continent.

🛂

Visa Requirements Vary Widely

Morocco, Tunisia, The Gambia and South Africa allow UK citizens visa-free entry for tourism. Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Tanzania and Ethiopia offer convenient e-visas or visa on arrival. Always check requirements for your specific destination well before travel.

🧳

Baggage Allowances for Diaspora Travel

Ethiopian Airlines, Turkish Airlines, Emirates and Qatar Airways consistently offer the most generous two-piece economy baggage allowances (2 x 23kg), making them popular choices for diaspora travellers across West, East and Southern Africa.

☀️

Best Time to Visit by Region

West Africa has a dry season November to March. East Africa has two dry seasons: June to October and December to February, both excellent for safaris. Southern Africa is best May to September for game viewing.

🌍

Connecting Within Africa

Many popular routes connect through major African hubs — Addis Ababa, Nairobi, Casablanca, Johannesburg and Cairo — each offering onward connections across the continent for combining multiple destinations.

💰

When to Book for the Best Prices

Fares are typically most competitive 3 to 5 months before travel. December is consistently the busiest month for diaspora travel, so booking 4 to 6 months ahead for festive travel is strongly recommended.

Flights to Africa FAQ

Which African country has the cheapest flights from the UK?

Morocco and Tunisia typically offer the cheapest fares from the UK, with return flights starting from approximately £159 to £179 thanks to budget airline competition and short flight times of 3 to 4 hours. Egypt is also competitively priced from around £349.

What is the cheapest time of year to fly to Africa?

Generally, January, February, September and October offer the most competitive fares across most African routes, avoiding the peak Christmas, New Year and summer school holiday periods. December is consistently the most expensive month due to high diaspora travel demand.

Do I need a visa to travel to Africa from the UK?

It depends entirely on your destination. Morocco, Tunisia, The Gambia and South Africa allow UK citizens visa-free entry for tourism. Most other African countries, including Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Tanzania and Ethiopia, offer convenient e-visa or visa on arrival systems.

Which airlines fly direct from the UK to Africa?

British Airways, Virgin Atlantic, Kenya Airways, Ethiopian Airlines, South African Airways and several national African carriers all operate direct flights from London to major African cities including Lagos, Nairobi, Cape Town, Johannesburg, Cairo and Accra.

How far in advance should I book flights to Africa?

For the best prices, we recommend booking 3 to 5 months ahead of travel for most destinations. For peak periods such as Christmas, New Year, Easter and the summer school holidays, booking 5 to 6 months in advance is strongly advised.

Can Dream Fare help with multi-country Africa trips?

Yes. Many of our customers combine destinations on a single trip, such as a Kenya safari with a Zanzibar beach extension, or a South Africa visit combined with Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe or Zambia. Call us on 020 8264 0018 to discuss a tailored itinerary.
