COUNTRIES
Where to visit in November
COSTA RICA
Parting vines and banana leaf, the massif of Arenal – a lowly-rumbling stratovolcano – lumbers before you. We’ll lead you on a breathless, adrenaline-fuelled canyoning expedition: rappelling, hiking, down-climbing, and river-tracing, all with the backing track of the monkeys and tropical birds who rule this unforgettable wilderness.
EGYPT
With a history stretching back thousands of years, Egypt is more than just the Pyramids. We’ll give you exclusive access to the Great Sphinx, Giza Plateau, the Philae Temple, and much more with a world-renowned archaeologist. Discover the real Egypt – the Black Tomato way.
SOUTH AFRICA
Dry, bright, warm days on the Cape and in the winelands. Camps and Bantry bay, Cape Town test kitchens, wine tastings and even some Sabi Sands safari. South Africa is back and better than ever.
COLOMBIA
On this journey to Colombia, we’re using travel to take you beyond the flavours of your local café. A horseback ride through the coffee plantations of Pereira is an immersion in sustainable planting and farming practices – welcome to the first steps of your morning cup.
ST LUCIA
St Lucia is an irresistible option for a dose of longed for winter sun. Beyond the postcard-fronting peaks of the Pitons, an island brimming with culture reveals itself. Here, we invite you take a step back from the beach and follow us into the heart of St Lucia.
AUSTRALIA
Find yourself in the far side of the world on a journey through Australia’s miraculously diverse landscapes – from the blue mountains to the great ocean road. At its heart? The dramatic massif of Uluru.
MEXICO
We have a particular fondness for the jungles, beaches, temples and cenotes of the glorious Yucatan Peninsula. Not to mention Los Cabos (dramatic), San Miguel de Allende (historic), and Oaxaca (volcanic). Culture, history, nature and cuisine. It’s a firm favourite.
VIETNAM
From Hanoi in the north to Ho Chi Minh in the south, Vietnam is one of the world’s most colourful countries. By November, Vietnam’s hot and wet summer season is drawing to a close, the temperatures mellow out and the rain reduces to an occasional drizzle. It’s the perfect time to visit.
