A Trip to East Africa is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, perhaps one that takes a couple of months to save for. From flights to accommodation while on tour among other expenses, proper planning is therefore of utmost importance.
As we are all aware we are leaving uncertainty with the novel covid, one may be left to wonder what the future holds for our travel plans and the industry at large. While our safety is of greater importance, the big question is whether it is still reasonable to consider planning a vacation for the year 2021 or even later in the future. Here are 3 reasons why you need to start planning now for the future amid the whole crisis.
Great flight and accommodation deals
As experts have it Airfare is all about supply and demand securing a flight ticket now could see one enjoy lower ticket prices, the prices may well shoot up when things return to normal.
Most accommodation providers are giving out discounted offers for early bookings as well; the good thing is that most suppliers have adopted considerable and flexible payment and cancellation policies in light of covid-19.
Help the Travel sector in the recovery process
The travel industry has been brought to a halt with many people within the sector left jobless with little or entirely no income, securing a trip now for the future is not only advantageous in terms of discounted rates but also goes a long way in supporting the recovery of the tourism sector and the communities that make a living on tourism, a win-win situation here.
The Reality of travel planning
Most tours require between six months to one year of planning ahead meaning there is basically no risk in booking your next East African tour now, moreover the flexibility with cancellation policies and waivers most airline and travel agents have adopted should offer the guideline as to when you need to make any necessary adjustments should the current situation continue.
We will definitely be looking for the sort of trips to clear the head out of the lockdown mode, from beech vacations and wildlife safaris where we can enjoy the natural fresh air in the wilderness, to wellness and spas. Where will you be traveling to once this summer?
