Where To Go In November & December

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

Let's plan your perfect trip

The year’s finale of clear skies and fresh beginnings

Walking among the reopening trails of Patagonia in November or sipping wine under Argentina’s spring sunshine, South America opens up in colour and warmth. Chile moves into its Patagonian summer, and Brazil balances sunny beach days with lively cities and the Pantanal offering rewarding wildlife. Across Asia, Cambodia and Laos settle into their cool, dry months with temples and riversides best explored in soft light, while India enters its prime season for forts, palaces and desert journeys. Vietnam also finds rare balance, with cooler, drier weather in the north and central coast.

Further south, Sri Lanka shines on its western and southern shores, with calm seas and golden days stretching into December. In Africa, South Africa moves into long, bright summer evenings from Cape Town to the Winelands, while its parks still deliver wildlife drama under clear skies. Together, these weeks close the year with journeys that feel both fresh and festive — a perfect time to trade grey skies at home for the colour and clarity of summer elsewhere.

We’ve just returned from Argentina and Chile, and it’s one of the best holidays we’ve ever had. Sundowner put together a brilliant itinerary that let us experience Patagonia on both sides of the border—Chile’s dramatic mountain scenery and Argentina’s awe-inspiring glaciers—for a journey we will never forget.

Anne & Peter, Argentina & Chile

I put the subject heading as WOW because we feel like that has been one of our main words we've repeated on so many occasions over the past 2 weeks - it also feels like we've been away much longer than 2 weeks too! Cambodia is truly wonderful, amazing, beautiful! I cannot express strongly enough over email how much of an immensely incredible time we have had here!

Vanessa Hewitt-Griggs, Cambodia

Brilliant organisation. Fantastic guides and drivers. The guides were brilliant – charming and very knowledgeable. The drivers amazed us with their ability to get around the Indian roads with such calm ease. You have the most impressive team working for you in India, and our trip was seamless. Thank you.

Sandra Spearpoint, India

It was an amazing trip from start to finish with so many highlights along the way, thank you so much for looking after us with the itinerary you produced and the accommodation along the way, there wasn’t a thing we would change

Aaron Harper, South Africa

It was the holiday of a lifetime! Our trip to Sri Lanka was totally effort free allowing us to experience the best of this amazing country and exceptionally friendly people.

Karen Farnfield, Sri Lanka

We had the most fantastic time in Argentina and Brazil. Highlights for us were the tango show in Buenos Aires, wine tasting in Mendoza, the sheer power of Iguazú Falls on both sides of the border, and finishing in Rio with sunsets on the beach. Everything ran so smoothly thanks to Sundowner, and we really appreciated the local guides who made the places come alive for us. It honestly felt like everything had been thought of and we could just relax and enjoy it.

Mark & Louise Newman, Argentina & Brazil

This was the best family holiday we have ever had. Tailored to what we wanted in beautiful and perfect accommodation that suited us. Every day was an adventure and honestly trying to find a highlight is impossible. From watching giant green turtles laying their eggs then walking back into the sea, to being woken up by howler monkeys to zip lining through the rainforest and kayaking with crocodiles.

Melissa, Costa Rica

Madagascar is a place of exceptional beauty, with wildlife you'll see nowhere else in the world.
