No one enjoys having her wallet get walloped while trying to plan a family vacation.

To avoid feeling the pain of booking a trip destined to drain your wallet, consider the following affordable travel packages that are sure to pack a profitable punch:

Safari: This vacation package to South Africa is a dream family getaway. For just $1,999 per person you will receive airfare from New York City to Cape Town, with a return flight from Johannesburg, on South African Airways; flights between Cape Town and Johannesburg; ground transportation throughout; four nights at the luxurious Protea Hotel President in Cape Town; three nights at Protea Hotel The Winkler; eight meals including six breakfasts and two dinners; an open-vehicle guided safari in Kruger National Park with admission fees; a guided tour of Cape Town; and the services of an English-speaking tour guide; plus, all air and hotel taxes and fees. SmarTours is offering the unbelievable deal, though you must book by December 19th in order to secure a spot at the reduced price. The package is available during the months of January, February and April of 2013 only. Given that the airfare alone between New York City, Cape Town, and Johannesburg starts at $1,200 in mid-January, the accommodations, ground transportation, meals and activities are practically free.

For just $1,059 per person you can take advantage of a travel package to Ireland which includes airfare from New York to Dublin on American Airlines, with a return flight from Shannon Aer Lingus; two nights in Dublin at The Ardmore Hotel; one night in Kilkenny at the Aspect Hotel Kilkenny; two nights in Waterford at Dooley’s Hotel; one night in Cork at the Maldron Hotel Cork; two nights in Killarney at the Holiday Inn Killarney; two nights in Limerick at the Travelodge Limerick Ennis Road; daily breakfast at the Kilkenny and Waterford hotels; and a nine-day manual car rental with pickup in Dublin and drop off at the Shannon airport, including collision damage waiver, theft protection, taxes and fees.
