Planning to include African destinations and/or Central & South American countries on a Round The World Ticket? If so the "World Journey" fare may be the answer! This flexible ticket offers travellers the chance to combine a wide range of stopovers which are not easily combined on many other joint airline Round The World fares.  
Key Benefits:  This ticket is excellent for African destinations with an extensive range of stopover options using both Kenya Airlines & South African Airways.  No other ticket offers such extensive choice within Africa. Also great for the Indian Subcontinent, Micronesia & Central America and or combining any of these these regions.
