With this many votes we are now almost at the 24 that showed interest.
Unless it changes first person to put up the deposit gets first option.
As for going in August for a cheaper rate, 9 people say YES but the other 11 votes have other dates. (I worded that wrong on the poll - you need to add up all other dates to reach how many would prefer a specific date to the savings in August.) So a "slight" edge to the dates are more important than a little difference in the rates.
If you consider both first preference and second preference September is the favorite month. There is more likelihood of the camps giving us consideration for the lower rates in September than in October as well. I did send emails out to day requesting the lower rates for the month of September. If we can get those lower rates in September it will be a decision for September hands down.
So I think that the decision is reached that it is September. I suggest fine tuning dates that blend those two choices. Lets see what the game parks come back with. They may have a restriction we must be within certain dates for a lower rate.
I have always felt April and September are truly the best months. It can get quite hot in the parks in the afternoon in October.
We move fast but it may take the game parks a LOT longer to respond.
Stayed tuned I will be back when I know more.
