December Departures
Late getaways departing in December
It’s that time of the year again, when the winter season sparks festive activities all across Europe. You can expect magical Christmas markets and epic snowshoeing and skiing opportunities. While in South Asia and Southern Africa, the warmer seasons allow for sunny adventures along the coast or desert dunes. Feeling inspired yet for that last minute getaway?
For an exhilarating snowshoeing experience, our Snowshoeing in the Dolomites – Premium Adventure trip offers you the most breathtaking views of the Dolomites blanketed in snow come wintertime. Our walking route takes you through the spectacular Fanes-Sennes Natural Park, known as the largest national park in the region. The best time to embark on this trip is from December until March, and you can expect a full day of exploring, with up to five hours of snowshoeing. From mid-November through until early January you can expect fresh powdery snow, which offers ideal conditions for snowshoeing.
If you’re looking to soak up the sun in a warmer and tropical climate this winter, then head to the Maldives during December for an incredible marine wildlife adventure. Our Marine Wildlife of the Maldives trip gives you once in a lifetime experiences, including snorkelling with whale sharks in the pristine coral reefs. Larger congregations of these sharks are found in the dry season, while the manta rays and sea turtles are higher in numbers during rainy season too.
Or how about camping under the stars on a warm summer’s evening, on our Discover Namibia – Camping trip? December may be off-peak season, but you’ll find Namibia’s diverse landscapes and wilderness are spectacular year-round. Despite some rainfall and humidity during December, it’s the perfect time to see newborn wildlife, and lush green vegetation on game drives through Etosha National Park.
