Everyone has their own idea of the perfect summer holiday. Some dream of the ocean and carefree relaxation, others — of thrilling adventures and untamed nature, and some — of discovering new cultures. But one thing is certain: summer is a great time to explore the world!
If you’re still deciding where to go, we’ve put together 5 destinations that are especially wonderful to visit in summer! These aren’t just beautiful places — they’re countries where truly unique things happen during the warmer months: the Great Migration of animals, polar days, or even the arrival of “winter.”
Kenya
A dream safari and the Great Migration
Kenya is all about lions at dawn, hot air balloons over the savannah, famous nature reserves, and authentic culture! From July to September, one of the greatest natural spectacles on Earth takes place here — the Great Migration. Millions of wildebeest and zebras cross the Mara River in search of fresh pastures. And you can watch it all unfold from the comfort of a luxury safari lodge, with a glass of champagne in hand. In Amboseli National Park, you can admire the majestic Mount Kilimanjaro with its snow-capped peaks, while in the Masai Mara, take a balloon flight over the savannah for breathtaking views of the migration. And the best part? All of these adventures are included in our "Great Safari in Kenya" tour!
Australia
Winter in reverse
Australia is famous for the Great Barrier Reef, dreamlike beaches, kangaroos and koalas, vineyards, and architectural wonders like the Sydney Opera House. When it’s summer in Europe, it’s mild winter in Australia — the perfect time to escape the heat and enjoy diving on the reef, strolling through Sydney, or wine tasting in South Australia. You can also witness whale migration and go horse riding along the coast. Food lovers, don’t miss our private tour of Tasmania — discover exclusive New World wines, lovingly prepared dishes made with local produce, and wild landscapes that make the perfect backdrop for your gourmet adventure.
French Polynesia
Where paradise isn’t a metaphor
French Polynesia means Bora Bora, overwater villas, crystal-clear lagoons, manta rays, world-class diving, and complete seclusion. June to August is the driest and sunniest time of year in Polynesia — picture turquoise lagoons, schools of manta rays, and the chance to completely disconnect from the world while hiding away in an overwater villa. We’ll be happy to arrange a unique and unforgettable journey to these heavenly islands just for you.
Tanzania
Safari and tropical relaxation
Tanzania is known for the Serengeti National Park, the Ngorongoro Crater, local tribes, exotic nature, and the striking contrast between mainland Africa and the paradise of Zanzibar! In summer, the mainland experiences the dry season — animals gather near watering holes, making them easy to spot in the national parks. After the safari, head to Zanzibar, the island of spices, white-sand beaches, and the turquoise Indian Ocean. Summer here is the ideal time for a beach holiday — warm but not sweltering weather and perfect sea temperatures. In our “Migration in Serengeti and gorillas of Rwanda” tour, we combine the thrill of the Great Migration and safari with the culture of Rwanda and the unforgettable experience of seeing majestic mountain gorillas up close.
Iceland
The land of fire, ice, and waterfalls
Iceland will amaze you with geysers, glaciers, waterfalls, volcanoes, black-sand beaches, and otherworldly landscapes — no wonder Hollywood directors love it. From June to August, Iceland experiences the midnight sun — a time when the sun barely sets. You can hike across glaciers, bathe in hot springs, watch whales, or have a picnic at 11 pm — all in soft, mild weather with greenery blooming before your eyes. Our “Mysteries of West Iceland” tour is the perfect way to immerse yourself in the island’s natural wonders, dramatic views, and the mystical stories of this incredible country.
So, which will you choose?
- Opt for Kenya and Tanzania if you dream of seeing the Big Five and floating over the savannah in a balloon.
- Choose Australia to escape the heat in style, go diving, or enjoy a culinary adventure.
- Head to French Polynesia for a peaceful retreat on heavenly islands.
- And Iceland is your go-to if you’re ready to fall in love with raw, stunning northern nature — and spot some whales too!
The Scenario Travel team will make sure your chosen destination becomes a journey full of joy, discovery, and unforgettable memories.
