Why book now
June to October is the dry season across most of Southern and East Africa, when wildlife gathers around water and game viewing is at its best. Small group departures in these months are often full months ahead.
Booking early gives you the pick of departure dates and accommodation, which matters most on smaller group tours and private trips.
Flights, visas and vaccinations are much easier to sort out with a year's notice than with a few weeks.
Tell us where you'd like to go, when, and how you like to travel, and we'll suggest the Black Friday deals that fit best.
Talk to an expertI have been using this travel agency for booking all of my Southern Africa overland trips for 10 years now and once again I can only speak very highly about them. The new manager James is - just like his predecessor Rob - super friendly, very professional and proactive to offer you the best. The whole booking and payment process from abroad couldn't be easier and more secure. Thumbs up!
I did a lot of research online to find a company that was affordable and also had good reviews. I was not disappointed! Detour Africa was a great company. Communication was always prompt with the travel agent. We were set up in nice accommodations. The food was so good and the staff at the lodge where we stayed were so friendly... I would definitely recommend Detour Africa for Safari tours.
If anyone planning for a perfect trip to Africa, you can’t go pass DETOUR AFRICA! We had the pleasure of working with James on crafting the perfect itinerary based on what we would like to see and do. Throughout the entire process, James has consistently been so professional, patient, understanding and most of all, his genuine approach to helping his customers. Do yourself a favour and consider Detour Africa, no matter what your budget is!

The sale ends on Sunday 30 November 2026. To get the Black Friday price, your booking needs to be confirmed by then. Travel can be in 2026 or 2027, depending on the tour.
Selected 2027 departures are available at this year’s price if you book before 30 November. Tour prices normally go up each year, so this locks in the lower rate for a trip.
Six to twelve months ahead is the sweet spot for a small-group safari. Group tours carry 12 to 22 people and popular departures in the dry season (June to October) sell out well before travel. Booking in November for the following year gets you a choice of dates, the current year’s price if the tour is part of our early-booking offer, and time to find reasonable flights.
It’s the best time of year to book a 2027 safari. Most operators set their new prices for the coming year in late November or early December, so a Black Friday booking usually beats the price rise. And the dry-season departures that book out first are still open in November.
Each Black Friday deal may vary slightly depending on the tour and operator. The exact discount amount, validity period, and travel dates are listed under the Dates & Prices section on each tour page. Please review this section carefully, as different tours have different terms and availability.
All bookings are also subject to our booking terms and conditions.
