September is the unsung hero of travel months.Travel in September it is unmistakably to take advantage of numerous advantages as pay cheaper housing, plane tickets and others and avoid the crowd and its consequences. Here’s where to travel in September:

1.South Africa

September is the ideal time to visit South Africa, when the weather remains reasonably dry but visitor numbers have thinned considerably. To minimize crowds even more, try a less well-known safari spot like Tswalu in the Kalahari , an enormous privately owned reserve under the auspices of the De Beers owning Oppenheimer family.

2.Charleston, S.C.

What better time to come to the culinary capital of the southUnited States than September, when it hosts both a Restaurant Week and a Beer Week? Burn off that indulgence with a few hours strolling round the brand new South Carolina Historical Society museum.

3.French Polynesia

September is the sweet spot to visit French Polynesia in the South Pacific. It’s quieter than during the peak of summer, with lower rates to match; the rains don’t appear until November, so the weather remains glorious. Even better, this is the time when humpback whales are most visible and plentiful, returning to the archipelago to give birth and feed.

4.Beijing

This month see the inaugural iteration of Design Beijing, an offshoot of the buzzy Design Shanghai showcase. It will commandeer one of the largest exhibition sites in the city to showcase more than 80 different brands, including one-off art pieces and collectibles. Another sign of Beijing’s increasing status among the art: the pop-up Serpentine Pavilion, pictured, on show through the end of October.

5.The English Countryside

September is the ideal moment to decompress and relax it. Combine this with a tour round the vineyards nearby producing sparkling wines that have begun besting champagne in blind tastings.
