The summer holidays are over and most people are going back to work and school. Be one of the lucky ones to explore some of the world’s most sought-after destinations without the crowds.
Throughout September and October the ancient kingdom of Bhutan enjoys warm dry weather and, with tourism still carefully managed, there’s no risk of a sudden influx. Trekking has always been very popular due to the country’s mountainous beauty and its perilously-perched Buddhist monasteries remain a marvel.
It’s still prime season for a tented (or luxury lodge) safari without the crowds in Kenya’s Maasai Mara and Tanzania's Serengeti with the wildebeest migration now heading south again. The islands of Mozambique are at their best with humpback whales migrating up the coastline and fantastic diving to be had from the comfort of your boutique African beach lodge. The Seychelles offers some of the most glamorous hotels and private islands in the world alongside great diving and a relaxed, Seychellois vibe.
