Ahhh! December holidays… Kids enjoying the waves, hiking in the Drakensberg, or those wonderful early morning game drives in the Kruger, nothing beats enjoying your time off. Yes, we are already talking about the December holidays and why you need to start planning yours now! There are several advantages to planning your December Holiday now, before spring starts and they’re just around the corner. Here are five irrefutable reasons why to get your December game plan going.
Tick-Tock
Creating your holiday plans early on by starting to book at your preferred B n Bs, rental houses, lodges or hotels gives you a better chance of getting exactly what you want. The later you leave this essential part of the plan, the less likely it will be that these rooms are available when you do pick up the phone.
Ka-Ching
Planning early means bigger holiday savings. The closer to December means the higher the demand on rooms will become. Hotels, and lodges will generally increase their prices during peak season as many people are willing to pay more than they’d need to if they booked earlier.
All-Aboard!
Locations that see high local and international tourism during peak season will host a variety of fun activities. Early birds will be able to create their personalised itinerary or get on board with some incredible activity packages, before these become booked up as well. As with with flights and rooms, it is first come, first served.
Uh… Honey…?
What could be worse than planning your holiday and your boss calls in the day before you leave? “Sorry John, but everyone else booked their leave first and we really need someone to hold down the fort this season.” No thanks! Planning your December holiday early means you can take the extra time off you need and coordinate it with your partners leave, meaning one great holiday for the whole family.
Whoop Whoop!
The pre-holiday hype up is one of the greatest and most thrilling parts of a holiday. Planning your favourite activities, counting down on the calendar, confirmation emails. Some might say, the excitement leading up to the trip may be one of the most enjoyable parts of the holiday, the longer the hype, the better.
Whether you will be traveling nationally or abroad, planning your holiday early is essential to a successful holiday experience.
