The Christmas holidays mean December is a very popular time to visit South Africa, so it’s important to book hotels and excursions early to avoid disappointment. The Cape enjoys hot, dry weather throughout January and February, so this is a great time to visit Cape Town and explore the surrounding area. Canada is cold and snowy, making this a great time to visit if you want to include some winter sports in your fly drive.
April is a good time to visit South Africa and travel round, as this is when you’ll find some of the most consistently dry weather across the whole country. May is the beginning of peak safari season as the grasslands begin to dry out and big game becomes easier to spot. Springtime sees fabulous displays of flowers across the European countryside, and April and May are the loveliest time of year to visit Italy as the weather is warm, the flowers are out but the crowds of tourists who come in summer are still a few months off.
Summertime in the USA sees hot sunny weather across many of the states and is a great time to visit the cities if you want to sit outside a lovely café and watch the world go by. Hiking in the national parks is great in the summer months, and the beaches are buzzy with lots of opportunities for spending time in the water.
As autumn sweeps across Europe, the countryside mellows and the colours turn golden. There’s lots of sunny weather still to enjoy, but the peak temperatures have dropped making this a much better time of year for exploring European cities. The Northern states of the USA are known for their amazing foliage, which is best enjoyed from the road as you travel through the incredible countryside of Virginia, Vermont or New England.
We understand the importance of having lovely places to stay along your driving route, and we can design you a trip where every hotel you stay in along the road is more beautiful and comfortable than the last.
