The most common mistake in multi-country planning is arithmetic: four countries, sixteen days, four days each. It reads well on paper and exhausts everybody by day nine.
We plan in movements instead. One landscape for wonder, one for immersion, one for rest — each given enough nights that the place has time to become familiar. Two countries in fourteen days is generous. Three is possible when the flights are private and the transitions are short.
Regional flying matters more than most itineraries admit. A well-timed charter can turn a lost day into a long, slow morning. So does the order of the arc: forests early, when energy is high; plains and water later, when you want the day to carry you.
Above all, leave something out. The journey a traveller remembers is almost never the one that fitted everything in.
