Incredible experiences in Antarctica
Is there really anything much to do in a continent covered in snow? You might be surprised! Hike with Polar guides, watch penguins, kayak, camp on the snow, take zodiac boat trips to get close to wildlife and icebergs . . .
When to go to Antarctica
The best time to head for Antarctica is in the summer months from about November to March when the sea ice melts enough for the ships to get close. High season is from December to February as both the weather and the wildlife are better at this time. Usually, you will be tied to specific dates by the departure dates of the cruise ships.

Face to face with meerkats
I have seen photos of people sitting with meerkats before, but I always imagined that you would probably need a lot of time and patience, or just very good luck, to have that kind of experience.
