If you've ever wanted to see a tiger in the wild, this is the trip.

Wildlife Worldwide's Ultimate Tiger Safari takes a small group across Pench National Park and Bori Wildlife Sanctuary in India, two of the country's best regions for sightings, travelling in limited-vehicle safety so the wildlife isn't crowded out.

Prices start from £4,895 per person (single supplement £1,745), with departures on 4 February and 4 March 2027, and further dates in 2028.

I got back from Kefalonia last week having genuinely managed to switch off. Mornings snorkelling, afternoons with a book, evenings doing nothing in particular.

Then a client had their heart set on a boutique hotel with one room left. I booked it from the sun lounger before it went, sunscreen still on my hands.

Two other sets of clients had flights delayed while I was away. Same story every August; airlines seem to keep their worst behaviour for the exact weeks everyone's trying to relax!

So the switch off wasn't complete. It never really is. But the snorkelling happened, the book got finished, and I came home with a tan - so that's a result in my book!

Ten days, one of Nagarhole's top lodges, and tigers as the main event rather than a hoped-for extra.

Wildlife Worldwide's small-group trip runs to just 5 or 6 people, giving proper time in the park rather than a rushed drive-through. Nagarhole is one of India's strongest tiger reserves, and lodge-based trips like this are built around getting it right rather than ticking it off.

From £4,595 per person, single supplement £870. Departures on 31 January and 14 February 2027.

The connection that catches people out isn't the long-haul flight, it's the domestic one straight after it.

You land, clear immigration, collect bags, and then you're often booked onto a domestic connection with very little time built in. Big US and Canadian hub airports in particular can have long immigration queues, and there's no way to predict on booking day how long that will take.

I always build a buffer of at least two hours between an international arrival and any onward domestic flight, longer through the busiest hubs. It costs a bit of extra time in an airport lounge. It's cheaper than missing the connection and rebooking on the day.

If you're planning a multi-stop trip, this is the bit to check before anything else gets booked.

South America without the tent, as Dragoman are calling this one: 26 days overland from Santiago to Ushuaia, with hotel accommodation every night instead of camping.

The route runs the length of the Carretera Austral to Torres del Paine, Perito Moreno Glacier, and finishes at Ushuaia, the End of the World. From £2,995 per person for the tour.

The reverse route, Ushuaia to Santiago, is also available at the same price if starting from the very tip of the continent suits better.

This month much of the UK saw a rare partial solar eclipse at dusk on, over 90% of the sun covered for most of the country. A few hours later, on the same clear night, the Perseid meteor shower peaked with no moon to wash it out.

Most of us watched from a back garden or a car park, orange light drowning out anything but the brightest streaks.

In places with genuinely dark skies, the same night looks completely different: Norway's fjords, Namibia's deserts, the Atacama in Chile.

If Wednesday night left you wanting more of it, that's reason enough to plan a trip around on its own.

Uganda was declared Ebola free on 28 July which is great news for those wanting to visit and even better news for the local population!

Gorilla trekking in Uganda is one of the real highlights of my own travels, and I've travelled a lot! Standing a few metres from a silverback in Bwindi is not something you forget.

If Uganda's been sitting on your list, now's the time to book it.

Seventeen days aboard the Greg Mortimer, crossing the Antarctic Circle into some of the most remote water on the planet.

This is Wildlife Worldwide's small-group expedition: gentoo, Adélie and chinstrap penguin colonies, close encounters with humpback, minke and orca from Zodiacs and landings, and two expert tour leaders throughout. Group size capped at 12 to 14.

It's one of the trips I'd love to book for myself one day. There's something about actually crossing the Circle, rather than stopping at the Peninsula, that makes this one stand out to me.

Departs 26 February 2027. From £15,375 per person, single supplement on request.

You can see Christ the Redeemer from almost everywhere in Rio. Walking to breakfast, stuck in traffic, halfway up a completely different hill, and there he is on the skyline.

What I did not expect was how green the city is. From the top of Sugarloaf it is not concrete, it is neighbourhood, then forest, then neighbourhood again, hills pushing right down into the middle of everything.

If you are heading up to the statue itself, one thing has changed. From 3 August the escalators at the top are being replaced, so the last stretch is 220 stone steps, and only about half the usual number of people can be up there at once while the work is on. The train and the vans up the mountain carry on as normal.

I would still send anyone up there. Just build the steps into the plan.
