November Departures
Late getaways departing in November
No need to worry about winter blues this November, as we’ve got a fantastic line up of last-minute adventures. During this month, the temperatures drop across Europe, making it the ideal time for a winter adventure in the northern regions. While in Africa and the Caribbean, you can expect warmer weather with plenty of sunshine.
The peak heat hasn’t arrived in South Africa yet, making November the perfect time to join our South Africa: Walking & Wildlife trip as hiking conditions are great in the Drakensberg mountains and the roads are accessible for a safari in Kruger National Park. Towards the end of November, it’s also birthing season for many animals, so if you’re lucky you may get to see baby Impalas, Steenbok and African wildcats.
If you’re looking for a cultural experience during winter, our Winter in the Baltics, Helsinki & Stockholm trip allows you to witness the beauty of the winter solstice. This country-spanning trip covers five breath taking capital cities, where you’ll get to see the Riga Castle, the Lutheran Cathedral Dome and St Peter’s Church. In between these visits, you will also get time to soak up the wintery atmosphere with a warm cup of coffee or a hearty Swedish meal at one of their local quirky cafés.
Or why not take the opportunity to go hunting for the spectacular aurora borealis, on our Iceland Northern Lights trip? Experts claim that the Northern lights are expected to reach its highest level of activity in 11 years, making it an extraordinary time to witness it, although, sightings are not always guaranteed. But you can rest assured that the Icelandic landscapes this time of year are equally as spectacular. It’s not uncommon to see waterfalls such as the Seljalandsfoss, Skógafoss and the Gullfoss frozen over in November, amidst white-capped mountains, glaciers, and frosty plains.
If you are looking for sunnier weather, Cuba in November is ideal. It’s also a great time to soak up some culture as this month is filled with traditional events and festivals, showcasing the rich heritage of the country. Average daytime temperatures are pleasant, during the beginning of the dry season, making it the perfect time to book our Cycling Cuba trip. Navigate through the fascinating streets of Havana, Trinidad and Santiago. You’ll also cycle along the Caribbean Coast and past sugarcane plantations, fields and the jungle. There’s plenty to keep you entertained off the saddle too, with salsa and mojito cocktail-making classes in Trinidad and classic car tours through Havana’s city streets.
