The Best Places to Travel in February

Get out of the winter slump and shed those heavy coats. These are the best places to travel around the world in February.

Iguazu Falls

Sure, South American summer is still in full force in terms of humidity and heat, but February guarantees thunderous falls and plenty of spray, whether visiting the Argentina or Brazilian side of these iconic waterfalls.

Tanzania

In early February, you can catch the end of calving season in the Serengeti.  It’s a great time for a safari because the predators are out in full force on the hunt for prey so there’s sure to be some good wildlife encounters. There are a number of good mobile safari camps that move with the migration and permanent lodges that are supremely situated for the spectacle.

Safari-goers now have a beautiful choice;  a classic mobile tented camp positioned perfectly on the edge of the Mara River!  Let us help plan your get away now!

South Africa

In February, you’ll catch the tail end of summer in South Africa, but it’s an excellent time to visit the Cape, as the coasts are cooled by sea breezes, and the Garden Route, which experiences a pretty temperate climate year-round. To see the African bush at its greenest, February is one of the best times to go. It’s the green season when summer rains have turned the vegetation green and birding is at its best. Photographers especially will love the contrast between the green landscape and the crisp blue sky.

Uganda

Uganda is one of the best places to travel in February. It’s the dry season and the temperatures can be hot, but it is an ideal time for gorilla trekking and wildlife spotting in the reserves, as the animals flock to the waterholes.The 14 Day Uganda Primate Safari Adventure is a luxury Africa adventure safari that will take you to the mist-swathed forests and the cultural centers and reveal gorgeous wild landscapes. You’ll traverse through all of Uganda’s major national parks, taking part in extraordinary experiences like gorilla trekking and communing with nature in activities both soulful and heart-pounding.

Brazil

Brazil hosts one of the biggest parties of the year in February. Travel to the Carnival capital Rio de Janeiro to partake in five days of festivities that lead up to Fat Tuesday. After days spent partaking in festivities and indulging to your heart’s content, head to the beaches of Brazil for some much needed R&R on our Beaches of Brazil journey.Although Carnival is celebrated in many places, Rio de Janeiro has long been regarded as the Carnival Capital of the world. Go once and you might just want to come back every year! 
The celebrations are especially ideal for travelers who enjoy the party atmosphere, the hot summer weather, and urban beach paradises.

Guatemala

For a special Valentine’s treat, visit the Antigua Chocolate Museum to learn how to prepare chocolate from scratch with a Mayan recipe. With Donna Salerno Travel, you’ll enjoy a two hour chocolate workshop that starts with the cacao bean and ends with the chocolate bar.An aerial survey of the Maya Biosphere Reserve in 2018 remarkably revealed over 60,000 previously-undiscovered Maya structures that are over 1,000-years-old. Soar in a helicopter above the sprawling site hidden away in the dense jungles.
Wander through Antigua’s cobblestone streets, one of the best preserved and most beautiful colonial cities in the Americas. The luxury boutique Posada del Angel effortlessly (and beautifully) blends Spanish and Maya heritage. 
Enjoy a private boat ride around the lake to see the small indigenous villages, and learn about the multi-generational weaving techniques in San Juan la Laguna. Three stunning volcanoes rise out of Lake Atitlan’s emerald surface. During your custom journey to Guatemala, we suggest experiencing the breathtaking, incomparable views from Casa Palopo.
A private helicopter will take you to northern Guatemala to spend a few days among the peaceful ruins. Witness the stunning sunset on top of the main pyramid in Yaxha, rediscovered in 1904. See the fascinating archaeological excavations of Tikal, the city and ceremonial center of the ancient Maya civilization and the largest excavated site in the Americas.
Surround yourself with nature in some of our luxurious accommodations. Embraced by tropical rain forests and five enchanting lagoons, Las Lagunas Boutique Hotel is a luxurious property in the heart of the country’s Mayan world. 
Enjoy Guatemala City! A special guided tour of the clothing collections of the Ixchel Museum will give you a better understanding of the culture of Guatemala.

Myanmar

To avoid the monsoon season and get the most out of your visit to Myanmar, head there in February before the heat waves hit. For a well-rounded journey, travel to Myanmar with our Jewels of Myanmar suggested itinerary. It hits Myanmar’s Grand Four (Yangon, Bagan, Mandalay, and Inle Lake) with ten days of luxury and curated experiences.

French Riviera, France

The French Riviera has a much milder climate, even in the winter. Plus, opera season is in full force at the Opéra Nice Côte d’Azur.

Botswana

There’s so much to love about Botswana. We want to whisk you off to the Okavango Delta-the lifeblood of the country, drawing herds of elephants, predators, and prey to its marshlands and acacia forests. There’s a whole slew of camps to pick from and we can help you narrow in on one that’s best suited for you on one of our handcrafted journeys to this less sought after safari destination.
