Where to go in September

NAMIBIA

With its warth and minimal rainfall, September is the best time to explore the RamibRand Nature Reserve. Picture traversing the iconic orange Sossuvlei dunes and the expansive Dead Vlei, with each distinctive landscape and experience promising to leave you spellbound.

GREECE

Turquoise waters, warm weather and fewer crowds, September is a great time to visit Greece. Enjoy exclusive access to ancient sites like the Temple of Apollo at sunrise or venture over the Rhodope Mountains on your private helicopter, before enjoying a Michelin-starred dinner beneath the stars at a secluded observatory. September is also the optimum time to island hop with the calmer winds.

ITALY

In September, the countryside and coastal regions are particularly beautiful at this time of year, making it a great time to explore Italy's natural beauty. Enjoy the jagged peaks, alpine meadows, and pristine lakes of the Dolomites. Or for la dolce vita, explore the enchanting villages of Lake Como aboard your private luxury yacht.

Morocco

Discover Morocco's dramatic mountains and vibrant souks in Marrakech, rich in culture and gastronomy. Trek the highest peak in North Africa at Toukbal National Park and enjoy lunch with locals in the Mizane Valley. Experience a thrilling dune-buggy adventure in the Agafay stone desert. Tailor your trip with activities like sandboarding, desert bread baking, camel trekking, and hot air ballooning. End your journey at a luxury desert camp, enjoying an evening under the stars.

USA

From the remote beaches of California to the rocky formations of Minnesota, the varied plains of the United States offer endless luxury experiences. With the milder weather in September, enjoy outdoor adventure activities. September also marks the beginning of the fall foliage season, with stunning displays of colorful autumn leaves.

BOTSWANA

Go beyond the traditional safari with Pelorus. Glide serenely in a glass-bottom mokoro in Botswana while staying in a luxurious tented suite, overlooking the winding water channels. Take to the skies on your private aircraft, and savour gourmet dining under the stars. Each moment is tailored to immerse you deeply in the wild beauty of Botswana.
