January Departures

Last-minute vacations departing in January

Dreaming of a sunny escape to kick off the year? January is the perfect time to shake off the winter blues and set off on an adventure. From the golden beaches of Central America to the vibrant landscapes of Asia or the wildlife-rich plains of Africa, the dry season is calling. And our line-up of last-minute adventures are packed with inspiration to get your 2025 travel plans underway.

On our Wild Sri Lanka adventure, you’ll embark on four thrilling game drives through Yala and Udawalawe national parks. January’s clear skies and sunshine make it the ideal time to witness extraordinary wildlife gathering around watering holes. Thanks to the dry weather, our 4×4 vehicles can access more remote areas, increasing your chances of spotting incredible creatures. Yala is renowned for its world-leading leopard density, while Udawalawe is home to elephants, jackals, deer, buffalo, and more. With our experienced wildlife trackers, your opportunities of encountering nature at its finest are heightened.

If you want to start the year with a rewarding challenge, our Kilimanjaro Climb – Lemosho Route trip, gives you the chance to summit the world’s tallest freestanding mountain. The month of January offers ideal trekking conditions, as its less crowded and the trails are not as slippery, making it easier to navigate. With minimal rainfall in January, the drier conditions also allow trekkers to spot wildlife more easily, including blue monkeys at lower altitudes and birds like sunbirds, and tawny eagles higher up.

For a more laid-back island life experience, our Belize Reef & Ruins trip during January is an excellent choice as it’s in the dry season, offering sunny days and comfortable temperatures between 21-27°C. This weather is perfect for exploring Mayan ruins, enjoying pristine beaches, and experiencing world-class snorkelling. Dry season enhances snorkelling and diving experiences, so expect to see iconic marine species like sea turtles, rays, and nurse sharks near the Belize Barrier Reef.
