No.4 UZBEKISTAN
UZBEKISTAN
Why Uzbekistan in February
The joy of direct flights between Singapore and Tashkent in Uzbekistan meant that access to the Central Asia nation has never been greater. Mild winter climate, sunny blue skies offers a delightful contrast to the colors and cityscape of the ancient cities of Uzbekistan, coupled with the intriguing culture and tales of the ancient Silk Road.
The Experience
Uzbekistan often is the first nation to be explored among the "5 Stans" where you will be given a quintessential glimpse into the ancient Silk Road to its more recent rule by the Soviets. Ornate mosques, opulent mausoleums and charming labyrinths of old streets take you back in time to a land at the crossroads of empires.

MYANMAR
Why Myanmar in February
Despite recent numerous investments particularly from abroad, Myanmar has not lost its charm. Far from that actually and February provides the "secret season" where this actually feels like the new "high season" with blue skies, cool weather and less humidity and a refreshing time to be touring Myanmar along with a cruise on the Ayeyardwady perhaps.
The Experience

No.2 TANZANIA
TANZANIA
Why Tanzania in February
February is known as the "secret season" in the calendar's year-round migration period where more than thousands of wildebeest calves are born from early January to late February each year and it is also this time where connoisseur safari travelers will enjoy a brutal yet fulfilling safari experience. The calves vulnerability gives rise to more tactical hunting from predators and the story of survival cannot be more visual and thrilling than the calving season.
The Experience
The wildebeest herd will reside in the Southern Serengeti during February, giving birth to thousands of new calves. Exciting lodges and camps track the rather subdued movement of the herd at this time, with more hunt in action, more stories of survival unfolding, more tales to tell in front of the campfire at night with fellow safari-goers.
