Temple Safaris in Cambodia

The Temples of Angkor, the famous 'lost city' of the Khmers, is the most astounding archaeological site in Asia and undoubtedly one of the world’s great travel highlights. Read why December is a good time to visit.

Cavalcade of Lights, Toronto, Canada

With almost 2,500,000 residents, this multi-cultural city is the largest in Canada. The shopping and nightlife here are unsurpassed and the eclectic range of dining experiences create a truly up-lifting experience. If you are here over Christmas you can witness the annual Cavalcade of Lights.

Celebrate the King's birthday in Thailand

The people of Thailand are noted for their warm welcome and an exquisite sense of hospitality and style. This is even more evident when if you happen to be in the country during the King's birthday celebrations.

Franschhoek Champagne Festival, South Africa

If you like your wine and travel, you might want to combine a visit to South Africa with the annual Franschhoek Champagne Festival. Some of France’s best Champagne is tasted alongside the finest offerings to emerge from the wine cellars of South Africa.

Migration herds start calving, Serengeti, Tanzania

Imagine vast expansive plains with endless horizons, seas of pale yellow grass rippling in the warm breeze, gnarled acacias twisting to the sky and vultures circling on thermals overhead. Now imagine all of that plus thousands upon thousands of baby wildebeest and zebra.

New Years Eve celebration in Sydney, Australia

It's the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge which people gravitate towards to enjoy the annual New Year celebrations - including of course a spectacular fireworks display. The warm evenings during December also make this a much more pleasant viewing experience.

Snorkelling & diving on the Mafia Islands, Tanzania

Unspoiled barrier reefs surround the Mafia Islands, rich in soft corals, sea anemones and sponges, and attracting a dazzling array of fish. Potato groupers, hump-headed parrotfish and giant batfish are just some of those you might see while snorkelling, while turtles, rays and dolphins are never far away.

Whale watching in Hawaii

December is an ideal time to go whale watching in Hawaii as this is time when around 10,000 humpback whales head for Hawaii’s warm waters to mate and have their calves.
