When to book?

WHEN TO BOOK - THE ART OF THE RIGHT TIMING

We would like to assure you of one thing in advance: We will find a very special trip for you and your family at any time 🙂

But there is one golden rule that experienced travelers like to heed: The best trips start with the right timing. Those who know when to book simply travel better. Because there's often only the right moment between fully booked and unforgettable.

Here we reveal when early planning really pays off - based on many years of experience with tailor-made family trips around the world.

Africa - the earlier, the better

Africa rewards those who plan ahead. The most exceptional safari lodges - with style, soul and an authentic wilderness feel - are often fully booked 12 to 18 months in advance. Especially if you are traveling as a family and need spacious family suites or connected tents.
Whether in the Okavango Delta, Kenya's Laikipia region or South Africa's private reserves - the best lodges only have a few villas, and the most beautiful ones (with a view of the waterhole or under old baobabs) are usually booked up early. Planning 1.5 years in advance is therefore not overplanning - but a guarantee for the best places in Africa.

Costa Rica - the golden one-year rule

Anyone dreaming of rainforest, volcanoes and jungle adventures should book around a year in advance - especially for the Christmas vacations or Easter, when Costa Rica is at its most beautiful, but also most popular travel time.
Flights are already available and we can put together the perfect itinerary - from the cloud forests of Monteverde to the volcanic region of Arenal and the beaches on the Pacific. Early planning here means: the best lodges, the most beautiful views and the most exciting experiences - all in perfect balance.

Europe - the six-month window

A different pace applies to travel within Europe. Six months in advance is usually ideal - especially if you want to take advantage of early booking discounts and still be able to make the most of your trip.
Whether on the Greek islands, on the Côte d'Azur or in Puglia - the most sought-after family rooms, villas or suites with sea views are snapped up faster than you think. If you plan well in advance, you can travel more relaxed and also benefit in terms of price.

Conclusion

Early planning has nothing to do with control - but with anticipation, freedom and the opportunity to really consciously design the best trip.
The most exclusive lodges, most beautiful villas and most attractive flight connections go to those who dream early - and book wisely.

Because in the world of special travel:
Timing isn't everything - but it's the start of everything. ✈️
