Our 2026 winter sun holidays are now open for booking, offering unforgettable journeys across some of the world’s most culturally rich and naturally stunning regions.
If you're looking to escape next winter’s chill and explore with a small group of like-minded people, our cultural walking holidays are the perfect blend of sunshine, history, nature, and connection.
Hyderabad, India – History and Wildlife
19 – 30 January 2026
We’re thrilled to return to Hyderabad — a city that captivated us with its blend of elegance, dynastic history, and vibrant street life. On this tour, we’ll explore grand palaces, the majestic Charminar, and the formidable Golconda Fort, once a stronghold of the Qutb Shahi dynasty.
But the journey doesn't stop at the city’s edge. We’ll venture into the surrounding countryside to uncover the Deccan Sultanates, visit ancient temples, and track tigers on safari in a forest reserve in Maharashtra.
Ending with a 4-night stay in a restored Nizam palace and opportunities to savour Hyderabadi biryani, this holiday is a feast for all the senses. Our expert guide, Joel, brings the city’s deep history to life — creating a unique walking holiday that’s both enlightening and exhilarating.
Panama – Wildlife and Culture
8 – 20 February 2026
This is the perfect choice for those seeking a gentle-paced walking holiday through lush cloud forests, where you will see monkeys, sloths, toucans, and hopefully, the elusive Resplendent Quetzal.
In Panama, nature lovers and culture seekers come together — walking through flower-filled forests by day and exploring UNESCO-listed Casco Viejo by evening. This 17th-century colonial quarter in Panama City is rich with history, architecture, and vibrant local life.
A beautiful blend of biodiversity and heritage, this winter sun walking holiday is ideal for those who love wildlife and culture.
Morocco – Walking and Culture
24 February – 8 March 2026
February brings golden light to Morocco’s landscapes, making it one of the best times to walk. Our route winds through olive and argan groves, oasis gardens, and palm-filled gorges, framed by the snow-capped Atlas Mountains.
We’ll uncover the charm of Essaouira, Tiznit, and Taroudant, and savour fragrant Moroccan cuisine along the way. Our journey begins in a former French Foreign Legion fort and concludes in a luxurious riad in Marrakech's medina — combining cultural depth with comfort and style.
New for 2026: we’ve added an extra day in Essaouira, giving you more time to soak in the coastal charm and Atlantic breeze.
Bequia – Island Hopping in the Grenadines
1 – 11 March 2026
Back by popular demand, this Caribbean adventure delivers sun-soaked days, turquoise waters, and the easy rhythm of island life. Our journey through the Grenadine islands — including St Vincent, Bequia, and Mustique — offers a mix of relaxed walking, swimming, snorkelling, and sailing.
Expect colourful birds, tropical flowers, and some of the most beautiful seascapes you’ll ever lay eyes on. This is a true escape to a world that feels timeless, unspoilt, and joyfully alive.
Northern Cyprus – A New Look for 2026
19 March – 1 April 2026
We’re excited to relaunch our Northern Cyprus tour with a fresh itinerary for 2026. Based on our recent research trip, we’ve added new walks and undiscovered sites, while keeping the much-loved highlights that make this tour a Kudu favourite.
In late March, the Mediterranean sun warms the air and wildflowers blanket the hillsides. You’ll explore Crusader castles, walk along coastal trails, and enjoy hearty Turkish Cypriot cuisine in charming villages.
It’s the perfect spring getaway — steeped in history, scenery, and sunshine.
