Why it's a deal: The Affordable Tanzania 2010 package breaks down to about $255 per person per night, including all taxes, and offers some experiences that would be hard to book on your own, like game drives in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and Lake Manyara National Park, plus a cultural visit to a small village. As an exclusive perk, BT readers also get $100 off a hot-air balloon ride over Serengeti National Park (which brings the price to $399 per person instead of $499).
More: You can book extensions to the Tanzania trip, such as a daylong Mount Kilimanjaro hike for $395 per person and a three-night excursion to Zanzibar from $299 per person, including all taxes.
