Our Favourite Destinations
Okinawa, Japan
Featuring in our Where to go in 2025 selection, Okinawa promises life at a gentler pace. This string of 160 islands is pleasantly warm in January and, if you’re very lucky, you may see the first of the cherry blossom. But ssh, that’s our little secret.
Tanzania
The Great Migration is a visual and sonic feast. Of six million hooves thunderously crossing the wild open plains – with more than 200,000 zebras, 300,000 gazelles and over a million wildebeests relocating for fresh grazing. Now that’s a show.
Australia
For over 15 years, we have been perfecting our Australian cocktail of experience. And January brings the summer weather to enjoy it. Blend your own wines under the expert guidance of a Chief Winemaker or walk alongside indigenous wildlife from Adelaide to Tasmania.
Argentina
Argentina is somewhere to get excellently lost in. Wine-tasting on salt flats, a world-first expedition trek through the Mitre Peninsula – simply put, it’s stunning. January brings the warm weather, all you have to do is bring your adventurous spirit.
