When temperatures in the UK begin to cool and the wet weather sets in, tour operator DialAFlight (www.dialaflight.com / 0844 556 6060) has a few destination suggestions where the autumn season is a cause for celebration rather than dismay. With getaways from just £1,249 per person, go to Japan for hot spring baths in the mountains, Kenya for the famous wildebeest migration or to the USA for the dazzling vistas of the fall.

JAPAN: COMPLETE ZEN

Autumn is the most pleasant time to visit Japan as the weather remains warm, but it is no longer hot and humid. Head to the leafy streets of Tokyo, journey to the Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Parkfor mountain views reminiscent of ancient Hokusai art and relax in natural hot spring baths. Then visit the Zen gardens at Ryoanji Temple in Kyoto where Japanese maple trees explode in bright red foliage.

DialAFlight (www.dialaflight.com / 0844 556 6060) is offering a seven-night tour from £1,249 per person (saving £50 per person). Available on selected departures until 5 December, this comprehensive tour includes flights with Asiana Airlines (via Seoul) into Tokyo and out of Kyoto, seven nights’ hotel accommodation on a bed and breakfast basis, airport transfers and all transport between destinations, a PASMO card with 2,500 yen credit for the Tokyo metro, a Hakone Freepass for local transport in Hakone and an InsideJapan Tours Info-pack.

KENYA: THE SEASON FOR SAFARI

During the autumn months the Great Migration of thousands of wildebeest, arguably one of nature’s most impressive sites, reaches the Masai Mara in Kenya. Mega herds cross the vast plains of the reserve, crossing rivers and splintering into smaller groups. It’s a great time to go looking for big game too, as there’s lots of food to be had!

DialAFlight (www.dialaflight.com / 0844 556 6060) is offering a ten-night safari adventure in Kenya from £2,679 per person (saving £140 per person). Valid for departures between 11 August -21 October, the price includes three nights on safari at the five-star Governors Camp on a full-board basis and seven nights at the Serena Beach Hotel in a village room on an all-inclusive basis, internal flights, transfers and flights from London with KLM. Spot all of the big five as the great migration sweeps through the Masai Mara with morning and evening game drives at the Govenors Camp, then spend seven nights relaxing on the white sands of the Indian Ocean at the Serena Beach Hotel, designed to replicate the winding lanes and colourful marketplaces of a traditional Swahili town.

USA: THE SPECTACULAR FALL

Awash with bright reds, golds and bronzes, journey to the Capital Region of the USA in mid-October and expect dazzling vistas of trees turned to metaphoric flame. It’s simply the most spectacular place to witness the autumn fall.

DialAFlight (www.dialaflight.com / 0844 556 6060) is offering a 14-day self-drive tour of the Capital Region from £1,499 per person (saving £50 per person). Valid for departures between 18 August - 31 October, the price includes 14 days' car hire, 13 nights' accommodation and flights from London with United Airlines. Starting in historic Washington DC, journey to Annapolis, St Michaels, Virginia Beach, colonial Williamsburg and Charlottesville for all the rolling fields, mountains, quaint villages and blankets of red leaves that could be wished for. For best autumn foliage, travel during October.
