Some destinations work perfectly for short-notice getaways. Others require advance planning to get space in the best lodges and camps, secure hard-to-obtain permits, and process visas. If you’re wondering when the best time is to book a trip to your dream destination, you’re in the right place. We put together a few of the top destinations that we recommend booking three, six, and twelve months in advance in order to assure the best vacation possible.

Rwanda

Seeing gorillas in their natural habitat is life-changing. Not getting the permits to see them is heartbreaking, and limited numbers are issued.


6 Months Ahead

India
