Where to go in October
Come October, autumn has well and truly arrived in the UK. If you’re looking to escape the dark mornings and moody grey skies, where’s best to travel? ‘Leaf peepers’ can look to North America or Japan for spectacular autumn foliage, while wildlife lovers might like to venture to Costa Rica or Madagascar, where there’s a great chance of spotting baby turtles and lemurs.
Our pick: the best places to visit in October
1. Madagascar
As Madagascar runs across several latitudes, there are various ‘best times’ to visit the island depending on which part you’re travelling to. However, we’d pick October and November as our preferred months to holiday here, thanks to the pleasant temperatures and blooming jacarandas – and the fact that this is the time of year lemurs will give birth to their (very cute) babies.Land of the Lemur
