Iran was lovely in April, but will cause issues if you fancy US trips down the track.
Oh yes I forgot them. Amazing animals as well. The marine iguanas are soooo cute.Galápagos Islands - time in the water, landscapes, animals
Many thanks for all the suggestions, looks like Africa is in the lead at this stage. We can do a couple of parks and hubby can cage dive (another bucket list tick)
cheers,

doesn’t really matter which side you stay on, as it is a very quick walk across the bridge from one side to the other. We walked across on two different days and got absolutely soaked on the Zim side both times. . Also do the Devil/Angel pool - the trip out to Livingstone Island is just fabulous. I guess I am voting for Africa, but that’s no surprise.If you choose S Africa, it’s well worth a side trip to Victoria Falls for a couple of days. In the dry season, stay on the Zim side in Vic Falls as the flow on the Zambian side dries up. (In the wet season it’s better to stay on the Zambian side because the Zim side is such a mass of spray it’s hard to see the falls.)
Make sure to do a sunset boat cruise. There’s many to choose from with different styles. And do a helo ride over the falls.
If you are worried about entering Zimbabwe, don’t be. Vic Falls is like a separate, modern country. The cafe just inside the entry to the falls is surprisingly good. Don’t miss a stroll around the colonial Vic Falls Hotel (or maybe stay there.)
