Pristine Patagonia
If you want to get away from it all for Christmas, you’d be hard pressed to find anywhere remoter than Patagonia. Straddling the southernmost parts of Argentina and Chile, this wilderness has uncountable hiking trails and epic landscapes.
Warm & Vibrant India
Exotic India draws us in with its rich history, sacred sites, and mouthwatering cuisine. Discover the subcontinent for yourself in December, tracking tiger in Bandhavgarh, staying in a maharaja’s palace, or gazing at the peerless architecture of the Taj Mahal.
Privacy & Great Game Viewing in Kenya
The Serengeti and Masai Mara are the most popular safari destinations in East Africa, but Journeysmiths knows how to get you the most exclusive experience in this game rich region. Travelling with us, you'll have access to the best private reserves and the finest lodges and camps.
Southern Serengeti Migration
In December, the Great Migration returns to the southern Serengeti. Choose a mobile camp such as the Serengeti Safari Camp and you will move with the herds, always waking up in the optimum location for wildlife spotting.
Amazing Weather in the Cape
Leave the rain and cold behind at home, and let Journeysmiths transport you to the Cape, where in December the sun always shines. Start with a city break in Cape Town, take a drive along the Garden Route, and finish with a gastro tour of the Cape Winelands.
Easter Island: Another view
There’s far more to Easter Island than the famous and mysterious stone heads. What you probably didn’t know is that it’s also a fantastic destination for diving! You get good visibility down to 60 m and swim with sea turtle and whale.
Green Season in Botswana
Botswana is the most exclusive safari destination in Africa, and usually that means that it has a price tag to match. The green season -- low season -- is surprisingly affordable, however, and you might well get one of the extraordinary camps to yourself.
Brilliant Birding in Pantanal
When the rains arrive in Brazilian Pantanal - the world’s largest tropical wetland - the birds are in their element. More than 1,000 species - resident and migrant - have been recorded, including hyacinth macaw and crowned solitary eagle.
The White Desert of Antarctica
Sail away to the Antarctic aboard a specially equipped expedition cruise. Travel deep into the icy wilderness and spend the Christmas holidays in the company of penguin, on what is truly the trip of a lifetime.
