WHY "It’s the low season, and lower costs mean you get to do more," says Edwards. "From the diversity of Cape Town to luxury rail journeys, there is so much to see. There is a lot to do in Cape Town: take the cable car up Table Mountain, visit Nelson Mandela’s prison on Robben Island, head out to the vineyards at Franschoek and Stellenbos­ch."

EXPERT TIP "Cape Town’s changeable weather means you have to be flexible," says Edwards. "If you wake up and the sky is clear, head up Table Mountain. If the sea is still, head out to Robben Island." WHERE ELSE THIS MONTH Myanmar for scenery: "The start of the wet season is a great time to see Myanmar’s lush landscapes without the crowds," says Badyari. London for its spring fever: "The city comes to life after the winter; the deck chairs come out, and the parks are full of daffodils," says Tollman.
