1 Feel truly festive

Ethiopia

What? Swap Santa Claus for something quite different next January. Genna is Ethiopian Christmas when white-robed pilgrims flock to churches and spiritual music fills the air. Witnessing these celebrations can be combined with Timkat (Epiphany), 12 days later: head to ancient Axum, where the original Ark of the Covenant is believed to be kept, to watch costumed high priests parade with a replica, while the city erupts in dancing, chanting and song.

The trip: A 16-day Festivals of Ethiopia small-group trip with Travel The Unknown costs from £3,795pp, excluding flights

2 Do it all in a day

South Africa

What? There might be better known national parks in South Africa, but few can rival iSimangaliso Wetland Park (South Africa’s first World Heritage site) for sheer diversity. In this lush, coastal reserve you can safari-drive to spot rhino, elephant, buffalo, antelope, and more before picnicking on the sweeping golden sands of Cape Vidal beach, swimming in the surf and (during the June-December season) scanning for humpbacks migrating by offshore.

The trip: A 14-day South Africa: Off the Beaten Track tailormade trip with TravelLocal costs from £1,780pp, excluding flights
