We can take you within snorting distance of these vast, gentle giants by boat and kayak; they're naturally curious, so a close encounter is surprisingly easy to come by. You'll also find penguins, sea lions and marine birds here, you can ride alone through the surf on white sandy beaches, and our guides can help you explore the steppes and pertified forests beyond.
October
If it was a bit warm in September, then October is well nigh perfect as the temperatures drop in the Northern Hemisphere.
And, if you want post-monsoon clear skies before the nights get distinctly chilly in the Himalaya, now is the month to enjoy Bhutan, Uttaranchal and Nepal.
But if you want to pin us down to just three destinations of the many on offer then......
just three ideas of many
chile
explore the south
Wild snow-capped mountains, indigo lakes, green forests and vast shimmering desert ... all without crossing a border. The North of the country is accessible all year. But October is probably the best month to take in every part of the country in all its wild diversity.

exotic but close
Adventure in the rugged interior. Luxury on the beach. Escape from the Winter. A tented camp in the Al Akhdar Mountains is true adventure. Sunset on the dunes a real memory. A luxury hotel on an unspoilt beach a way to unwind. Exotic variety is only a short flight away.

uganda
something different
Combines well with Kenya or Tanzania. Some of the most beautiful and least visited National Parks in Africa. A destination for the adventurous and with limited permits, gorilla trekking needs to be planned well in advance.
