When school is back and the countdown to Christmas has begun, there’s no better way to keep that summer glow than jetting off on an autumn holiday. As the seasons change, the primetime buzz in many destinations calms, whilst others burst into life with colour and festival celebrations.
From September through to October, Kenya and Tanzania quietens down but retains good weather. Game viewing remains at its peak, with animals becoming easier to spot as the vegetation thins out. Namibia is a great option with fabulous scenery and game viewing opportunities, whilst November is the sweet spot in South Africa for those looking to wine and dine in Cape Town’s culinary hot spots without the waitlists of the busy summer season.
And where to start with India. In late September, hikes in the Himalayas are greeted by clear skies and pleasant temperatures. October marks the end of the monsoon season, making it ideal for exploring the northern fort cities of the iconic Golden Triangle. Diwali celebrations on a grand scale sweep across the country in November, which is also the perfect time for lazy days on the beaches of Kerala and Goa.
Over the next few months we highlight some great destinations…
