How well are you prepared for the coming Easter holidays?

By Jumia Travel Tanzania

It is almost one month to the Easter holidays, so how well prepared are you?

For most Tanzanians, making preparations in advance has been quite challenging due to various reasons. To avoid last minutes pressure before Easter, Jumia Travel has come up with the following tips to guide you to successful celebrations from Good Friday to Easter Monday.

Start to think about Easter today

If you are thinking that a one-month duration before Easter holidays is a long time, I suggest you should think again. Time is never enough and that is due to our daily activities which seem not to end. It is advisable to start thinking about it from today, and figure out how it will look like.    

Set aside your budget

You might end up having to dig deeper into your pockets in celebrating this four-day holiday. The time you have now is enough to reflect on activities you will do and how much it will cost. If you plan and set a budget aside early, you will be free to continue with your normal routine as if there is nothing coming.   

Create a mechanism to track days before Easter

Try to create a mechanism on how to track days before Easter easily. It could be by circling days on the calendar on the wall or whatever way you are comfortable with. This will help you to know whether the targets you set have been achieved or not.

Think on how you are going to celebrate

You can have all the resources but not ideas on how to celebrate this Easter. To make a lot of memories during this time, try to celebrate in different ways as you used to and even better than last year. Are you going to celebrate at home with you family, friends or parents? Or you can visit Jumia Travel to explore your travelling options within the country and to outbound destinations.  

Involve people around you for more ideas

Planning on how to do a particular issue may differ from one person to another depending on their financial status. People who earn enough money have a plenty of options at their disposal unlike the average ones. But that is not an excuse to stop you from having exceptional celebrations during this Easter. Usually, simple ideas bring lots of excitements and memories; therefore, it's just a matter of creativity. Try to involve people around you to get different ideas, you never know how useful it can be.

Try to redecorate your house to make holidays more lively

You can establish a culture to redecorate your house during some big festivities annually, and Easter might be among them. You can involve your family and children, if you have one, you never know how your children might come up with the best ideas you never had.   

Do shopping early

After putting all the things and plans into place, it will be better to do shopping early before all the shops become overwhelmed. Items like foods, drinks, clothes and decorations should be purchased early to avoid overprice and population. You will save some costs, time as well as disruptions resulting from doing things in last minute.   

   

A one-month duration is not that long, so start to plan today. Most people ruin their holidays by ignoring early preparations and it will not be pleasant if you will be the one to experience such a situation.
