With this round-up, it won\u2019t have to.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Seasons? Never heard of &#8217;em. With this list of sunny spots for every month of the year ahead, you won\u2019t have to worry about summer feeling too far away ever again.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>January <\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Kick things off in <a href=\"\/cambodia\">Cambodia<\/a>. January sits smack bang in the middle of a weather window that\u2019ll keep you warm and dry, avoiding the rainy season (June to October) and the worst of the humidity, which tends to ramp up in April and May.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Intrepid\u2019s nine-day <a href=\"\/cambodia\/cambodian-traveller-160629\">Cambodian Traveller<\/a> trip makes the most of the comfortable conditions, with cycling tours to rural villages around Battambang, a sunrise visit to Angkor Wat and perhaps a rooftop drink in Phnom Penh.

It\u2019s warm (but not <em>too <\/em>warm) and dry, and its calving season for wildebeest (January to March) as they move in their millions from Tanzania&#8217;s Serengeti National Park into Kenya&#8217;s Masai Mara as part of the annual Great Migration, with the chance to see their young.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 10-day <a href=\"\/tanzania\/east-africa-highlights-160016\">East Africa Highlights<\/a> trip takes you into the Serengeti, where you can keep your eyes peeled for lions, impalas, leopards, giraffes, antelope, birds and more. At a sunset dinner beside Lake Victoria, the world\u2019s largest tropical lake, you can toast to a perfectly timed trip.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Intrepid-Travel-vietnam_sapa_PRG_1B2A6867.jpg\" alt=\"An Intrepid traveller meeting the people of Sapa, Vietnam.\" class=\"wp-image-90477\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Intrepid-Travel-vietnam_sapa_PRG_1B2A6867.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Intrepid-Travel-vietnam_sapa_PRG_1B2A6867-425x239.jpg 425w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Intrepid-Travel-vietnam_sapa_PRG_1B2A6867-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Intrepid-Travel-vietnam_sapa_PRG_1B2A6867-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Intrepid-Travel-vietnam_sapa_PRG_1B2A6867-1170x658.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Intrepid-Travel-vietnam_sapa_PRG_1B2A6867-585x329.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Take in the hill country of northern Vietnam in dry season<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>March&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Stretching more than 1000 snaky miles from north to south, <a href=\"\/vietnam\">Vietnam<\/a> is a mixed bag when it comes to weather. But there are prime pockets of sunshine if you\u2019re seeking some Viet-style vitamin D. To hit good weather across the whole country, aim to travel from November to April, but especially March.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The dry-season conditions are ideal for getting outside on the new nine-day <a href=\"\/vietnam\/premium-walking-hiking-vietnam-169252\">Premium Walking &amp; Hiking in Vietnam<\/a> adventure, where you&#8217;ll take in the rice-terrace-steeped mountain village of Hoang Su Phi, acquaint yourself with the hill-tribe culture of Sapa and roam through the valleys and bamboo groves of Tu Le, all while staying in noted eco lodges, such as Garrya Mu Cang Chai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>April&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>April marks the tail end of <a href=\"\/costa-rica\">Costa Rica<\/a>\u2019s dry season, but even with the odd shower creeping in there\u2019ll still be more than enough sunshine to draw you away from the concrete jungle and into the real one. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make the most of it on an eight-day <a href=\"\/costa-rica\/costa-rica-hike-bike-raft-160450\">Costa Rica: Hike, Bike &amp; Raft<\/a> trip, getting right into the action in one of the world&#8217;s greenest countries. Raft down the rapids of the Pacuare River, hike misty jungle trails in Monteverde cloud forest and cycle along the Puerto Viejo coast. With plenty of free time included, you could also surf Caribbean waves in palm-fringed beach towns or go stand-up paddleboarding on Lake Arenal.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>May&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Get set for some glorious shoulder-season conditions in <a href=\"\/greece\">Greece<\/a> in May with few crowds but good temps. The sun&#8217;s out and the water&#8217;s losing its bite, so you can just as easily spend all day kicking back on beaches as you can exploring ancient wonders.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The eight-day <a href=\"\/greece\/athens-santorini-160037\">Athens to Santorini<\/a> trip lets you do a bit of both.
