Where To Go in March & April

Tailor-made holidays with a focus on hand picked boutique hotels and luxury hideaways

Let's plan your perfect trip

Travelling into colour and clarity as the seasons shift

Walking beneath cherry blossoms in northern Vietnam while the highlands of Peru begin to open up for trekking shows how March and April mark the start of fresh adventures. Across East Africa the long rains are just beginning, yet in South Africa’s Cape the warm days linger, while Namibia clears to crisp skies and Peru settles into the early dry season in the Andes.

Patagonia is still open for summer hiking, the Galápagos offer calmer seas and abundant wildlife, and Costa Rica balances between its dry Pacific beaches and the first hints of green season in the rainforest. In Asia the variety is striking: Cambodia and Thailand edge into hotter days, Laos warms before the rains, Sri Lanka shifts from its southern beaches towards the east, and India’s forts and palaces glow in the last of the dry season.

We had an amazing time in Cambodia! Thanks to you and the ground staff that organised. It was so varied and so many “firsts”, we can't honestly say what was best….it changes every time we say…

David McGrath, Cambodia

Everyone had the most fantastic time and will certainly treasure all the great memories. The guides were outstanding. They all were very engaging and informative. We certainly learnt a lot. The hotels were great, and the beach was just what was needed after a hectic but most enjoyable schedule.

Sarah Wills, Costa Rica

I was recommended Sundowners and they did not disappoint. They were genuinely interested in making our recent trip to India as special as it could be. From their office in Shoreham to their representative/driver/accommodation hosts in Kerala everything was amazing. THANK YOU SUNDOWNERS we would not hesitate to recommend you.

Carol Woodman, India

Every part was so well organised with a great mix of adventure and honeymoon moments throughout. Our drivers, guides and the various accommodation staff all went above and beyond for us from start to finish. Madagascar was such an interesting and beautiful country to visit and we saw, experienced and learnt so much!

Jacqueline Ryan, Madagascar

We had a brilliant time in Namibia. We saw loads of animals including a leopard in Damaraland which I think was quite unusual, and an aardvark at okonjima, something I’ve never seen before on quite a few safaris! We also saw some of the cheetah chasing a day old giraffe which was exciting! We loved kayaking with seals in Walvis Bay as well, the seals were hilarious. Thank you for your help, all of the tours were arranged perfectly and the hire car was great.

Karen O’Donoghue, Namibia

The memories we made will never be forgotten and exceeded everything we expected. Everything went to plan, from the first call with Andrew, throughout the holiday, to arriving back home.
