Best places to travel in February

ENQUIRE

Where to travel in February

February brings warm, dry days and exceptional experiences worldwide. In Kenya, wildlife gathers at shrinking water sources for fantastic safaris. Egypt dazzles with sunrise Pyramid visits and after-hours museums. Brazil pulses with Rio Carnival excitement, while Bahia’s sunlit beaches hum with summer crowds, music and sun. New Zealand offers glacier landings and fjord kayaking, Cambodia’s temples lie nearly empty, and Guatemala and Belize combine festival energy with jungle and coastal adventures.

Kenya

Kenya is arguably at its best in February. The landscape remains dry ahead of the long rains, drawing wildlife to diminishing water sources and making sightings particularly compelling. Shorter grasses across the Maasai Mara and Laikipia improve visibility, while predator activity rises as young plains game appear. Dramatic skies provide a striking backdrop for photography, and with fewer visitors than in peak season, sightings can often be enjoyed in rare solitude.

Beyond the savannah, Kenya is home to highland conservancies and palm-fringed Indian Ocean beaches. We favour owner-run camps, conservancies and private houses that combine space, flexibility and a strong senseof place, rewarding travellers who value privacy and expertly guided wildlife encounters.

Egypt

February in Egypt brings warm, sunlit days and clear desert skies – perfect for exploring. It is a popular time to travel, which is why careful planning matters. We ensure you experience the country at its most atmospheric, not its most crowded.

Private, after-hours access to the Grand Egyptian Museum allows an expert Egyptologist to guide you through the galleries in peace. At the Pyramids of Giza, arrive at first light, stepping onto the sands before the day begins. On the Nile, charter a dahabiya to sail between temples, dine under the stars and moor far from other boats.

Explore Egypt

Brazil

Brazil pulses with energy in February as the Carnival takes over Rio de Janeiro. We can secure coveted seats at the Sambadrome and, for those in the know, access to the Winner’s Parade – when the champions return for one final, dazzling performance. For a group of friends or a milestone celebration, our specialists can arrange a private villa, behind-the-scenes samba rehearsals or a beachside feast with one of Brazil’s finest chefs.

Beyond the party, February’s heat is perfect for Bahia. Stay at Txai Resort Itacaré amid rainforest-fringed sands, explore the Trancoso’s boutiques or discover Salvador’s layered history with an expert guide who reveals its Afro-Brazilian soul beyond the obvious.

Explore Brazil

New Zealand

February is high summer in New Zealand – long golden evenings, balmy days and landscapes at their most spectacular. As peak season, the finest lodges and experiences require careful planning, and our experts will take care of every detail.

For a true sense of scale, take off on a private helicopter flight over the Southern Alps, touching down on a remote glacier for a Champagne picnic amid pristine scenery. Kayak through still fjords in Fiordland, hike little-known trails with a specialist guide or spend time with a Māori host, immersing yourself in traditions, customs and landscapes rarely encountered by travellers.

Explore New Zealand

Cambodia

Cambodia offers dry days and near-empty temples in February, making it an ideal time to explore. Angkor’s ruins feel atmospheric and our experts can arrange private access or guide you along hidden trails far from the crowds.

Beyond Angkor, the rainforest and Mekong Delta reveal a quieter side of the country. Stay in carefully chosen lodges, such as Shinta Mani Wild, where raised safari-style tents are set amid the jungle. Walk with trackers along remote trails, spot rare wildlife and savour sundowners overlooking unspoilt rivers. We can also organise private boat trips along the Mekong to secluded villages or intimate cultural encounters with local artisans.

Explore Cambodia

Guatemala + Belize

Guatemala and Belize enjoy temperate weather in February and early March – ideal for combining jungle, volcanoes and Caribbean coast. Trace the paths of long-forgotten cities, exploring hidden temples and quiet courtyards at your own pace and without the crowds.

We can arrange private sunset tours of ancient Maya sites, wandering temple terraces as the stones glow in the fading light, or a helicopter flight above volcanic peaks for a perspective few are lucky enough to see. Kayak along hidden rivers, hike remote trails, camp beneath the stars at Uaxactun or join local celebrations during Guatemala’s vibrant festival season.
