What made planning a journey difficult in the early days of exploration?

Many factors actually did...
Ignorance of what may lie ahead
Sufficient amount of food and supplies
Possible native diseases and if where they travel might be dangerous
People willing(not many) because people had families to attend to caring for
Imprecise map depictions(not draw exactly correct)
HOPE THESE HELPED A LITTLE.

Planning a journey in the early days of exploration was difficult due to inaccurate maps, uncertainty about the terrain, and the need for sufficient supplies. Additionally, the threat of diseases and the fear of hostile encounters further complicated these endeavors. Lack of advanced navigational tools added to the challenge of reaching unknown destinations.
