Locations with limited service are usually very expensive but recently we have seen many good deals to Africa, especially South Africa. Swiss is running a sale to Dar es Salaam. Zanzibar is also short ferry ride from Dar es Salaam. If some of the best beaches in Africa is not your thing, then maybe a safari is.
