May

May should be the start of the floods reaching the Okavango Delta in Botswana. It is also a particularly gorgeous month for Zambia, and Morocco is still lovely at this time of year. 

1. 

   Botswana

   • Very good time to explore the Kalahari (not oppressively hot).
   • The Okavango Delta begins to flood. Start of the best season to visit this area.
2. 

   Galapagos

   • Palo Santo trees start shedding.
   • Waved Albatross begin egg-laying.
3. 

   India

   This is a generally good month for wildlife in India. It is very good for spotting tigers as the heat means less vegetation for them to hide in. For example:

   • Corbett (elephants and tigers)
   • Kanha and Bandhavgargh (tigers and birds). 
4. 

   Morocco

   • This is a particularly pleasant month for Morocco. Mostly still green, and not too hot. 
5. 

   Tanzania

   • The migration is mostly in the west of the Serengeti (though be aware that this is also rainy season).
6. 

   Zambia

   • Rainfall permitting, Victoria Falls is in full flow.
   • Start of the best season for visiting Zambia, particularly South Luangwa. 
   • Excellent for seeing the Shoebill Storks in Bangweulu Swamps.
