When planning a long-distance trip to Africa, one of the biggest concerns for travelers is the cost and convenience of international flights. At Kartiki Tours, we understand that booking flights separately can be confusing, time-consuming, and often more expensive. That’s why our Africa Tour Packages from Pune are designed to be all-inclusive, ensuring that your international flights are covered within the package price.
1. Flights from Pune/Mumbai to Major African Gateways
Since there are no direct flights from Pune to Africa, most of our travelers conveniently depart from Mumbai International Airport (Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport), just a short journey from Pune. Our packages typically include flights with globally reputed airlines such as:
EgyptAir, Emirates, Qatar Airways, Ethiopian Airlines, Turkish Airlines, and Kenya Airways.
These carriers offer seamless connections to Africa’s top travel hubs like:
Cairo, Egypt – for Pyramids of Giza, Nile Cruises, and ancient Egyptian history.
Nairobi, Kenya – gateway to Masai Mara, Amboseli, and Serengeti safaris.
Johannesburg, South Africa – for Kruger National Park safaris and Cape Town tours.
Cape Town, South Africa – ideal for luxury holidays, wine tours, and Table Mountain.
2. Domestic Flights within Africa
Depending on your itinerary, our Africa holiday packages from Pune also include domestic or regional flights within Africa. For example:
Egypt Packages: Cairo to Aswan or Luxor flights for smooth connection to Nile Cruise departures.
Kenya & Tanzania Safari Tours: Nairobi to Masai Mara or Arusha to Serengeti flights to reduce long drives.
South Africa Tours: Johannesburg to Cape Town or Durban flights for multi-city exploration.
By including these internal flights, we save travelers both time and hassle, giving them more hours to enjoy Africa’s beauty instead of sitting in transit.
3. Cost Advantage of Including Flights
Booking flights as part of a package ensures:
Competitive Group Rates – Kartiki Tours negotiates bulk fares with airlines, offering you lower prices than booking independently.
Fixed Travel Budget – Since international flights are included, you avoid the fluctuations of airfare costs.
No Hidden Charges – All airport taxes, surcharges, and baggage allowances are transparently included.
This makes our packages not only affordable but also stress-free for travelers planning their Africa holidays.
4. Convenience for Pune Travelers
As a Pune-based travel company, we take care of your journey from start to finish:
Airport Transfers from Pune to Mumbai can be arranged on request.
Assistance with check-in, baggage, and seat selection is provided by our support team.
For large groups, we often arrange same-flight bookings, ensuring everyone travels together.
This means you don’t need to worry about separate planning—everything is pre-arranged for you.
5. Flexibility & Upgrades
While standard economy-class tickets are included in most Africa tour packages, travelers also have the option to:
Upgrade to premium economy, business class, or first class.
Choose specific airlines based on personal preference.
Opt for direct or shorter-connection flights for added convenience.
Kartiki Tours ensures that your flight experience matches your travel style and budget.
6. Assistance with Travel Insurance & Visa
Since flights are already included, our team also ensures:
Travel insurance covers your entire journey from Pune to Africa and back.
Visa documentation is aligned with your flight itinerary, especially for multi-country tours (Egypt + Kenya, Kenya + Tanzania, or South Africa + Victoria Falls).
This means your travel documents, tickets, and visas are all synchronized for a smooth journey.
7. Multi-Destination Africa Packages with Flights
For travelers who wish to explore multiple African countries in one trip, Kartiki Tours offers packages like:
Egypt + Kenya Safari (Cairo + Nile Cruise + Masai Mara)
Kenya + Tanzania Safari Circuit (Masai Mara + Serengeti + Ngorongoro)
South Africa + Victoria Falls (Cape Town + Kruger National Park + Zambia/Zimbabwe side of Victoria Falls)
All flights between these destinations are included in the package price, so you don’t need to worry about separate bookings.
