WHERE? WHEN?

Each continent on this amazing planet is huge and therefore has it's variations in climate and seasonal variations.  The 'Best' time to travel will also depend on the type of adventure or activity you wish to tick off your bucket list. It's difficult to generalise, but here are our tips for the best time to visit:

• Africa - Seasons in Africa are opposite of European seasons, so Autumn runs from March to May; Spring runs from September to November. The best general months for an African safari are September, October, March or April when temperatures aren't so scorchingly hot.

• Antarctic - The best time of year to visit is during the Antarctic summer from November to March, when you'll see Antarctica's wildlife at its busiest and benefit from up to 24 hours of daylight.

• Arctic - You can visit this all year round, but travel is recommended between May and September when the temperatures are higher, and travellers can experience the phenomenon of the midnight sun. 

• Asia - The dry season between November and February is considered the better time to travel with drier and slightly cooler weather. The hottest time of the year is usually between March and June when humidity levels rise in preparation for the oncoming rains.

• Australasia - From September to November & March to May the weather during these seasons is neither too hot nor too cold, which makes it perfect for Walkabout

• Central and South America - The dry season is generally the best time to visit Central America which, in most countries, is January-March (or November-April in Nicaragua, Panama and Honduras).  South America is generally best from April to June - temperatures ease slightly from hot summers and a lot fewer tourists are around.   Note that even the rainy season can mean only an hour of rain in the afternoon (in some countries!)

• Europe - Europe is a year-round travel destination, where any time is a good time to visit some corner of the continent. However, in general, ideal times to visit Europe are May, June and September, when prices are reasonable. Crowds are then smaller; the weather is typically agreeable during those months as well.

• Middle East - Between September to November and March to May the daytime temps are agreeable and warm and without too much humidity or rainfall.

• North America - The USA has varied seasons in each of its regions, but in general, the best time to visit the USA during Spring and autumn, however, Summer months from May to September are considered the peak time for tourists to visit the country.
