Tips for planning perfect Easter activities while on your getaway

We are in month four of 2023 and by now you’re probably starting to look forward to your exciting first getaway for the year.

The good news is the Easter long weekend will bring some much-needed rest and relaxation where you can enjoy four full days which is perfect for a mini getaway with family or friends.

Here’s some help on how to spend these four days wisely!

• Do your research

Whether you’re doing a self-drive holiday or hopping on a plane to go further afield, spend a bit of time researching where you want to go and everything you want to do before you leave. Get the kids involved too! From the bush to the beach and beyond, let them research destinations and activities on the internet and get them excited.

• Plan your activities

Once you have all the basics sorted, it’s time for the most exciting part – planning something special to do each day. Find out what local attractions, as well as on-site activities such as special meals, spa treatments, picnics, and horse and hiking trails, are on offer and book these in advance where possible to avoid disappointment.

• Get a budget together

If you included the kids in the planning stages, chances are you’ve got a list a mile long of everything they want to do! Putting a budget in place can help you manage your finances and ensure your holiday is as stress-free and full of fun as possible. In South Africa, we’re fortunate to have a huge selection of affordable accommodation options, and self-catering holidays, in particular, are more economical and allow you to stretch your money further.
