Where to go on holiday in August

Greece Greece is an incredible country to visit during the summer months. The Greek islands are best during this time of the year, the sunshine allows the crystal-clear waters to sparkle and the days are long making way for beach parties that span day and night. To avoid overcrowding try visiting quieter islands during this month such as Alonissos, or the relatively less touristic Ionian Coast.

Tanzania Tanzania’s Great Migration occurs year-round across the Serengeti, but most people visit between July and September; with less vegetation during the dry season the wildlife is much easier to spot. Tanzania is a land of great lakes and grassy plains, of lush rainforest and snow-capped peaks. There are soft sandy beaches, huge rocky gorges, ancient fossils and ancient trees. After touring on safari, head to the Indian Ocean and the magical beaches of the island archipelago of Zanzibar.
