To reset your body and mind, you need to go far from the madding crowd. Seek out Zambia’s remote Liuwa Plain and witness the second largest wildebeest migration in an unspoilt landscape of spellbinding beauty.
The Kalolo-Lozi people call Victoria Falls Mosi-oa-Tunya, “the smoke that thunders.” In May, this name is especially apt as the volume of water crashing down onto the rocks makes a formidable din. It’s guaranteed to set your heart racing.
Peru is relatively quiet in May, so it’s one of our favourite times to tackle the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu. Take the opportunity to visit some of the other, equally impressive Inca sites along the way. They’re even more stunning without the crowds.
Everyone loves turtles: and rightly so! In the Galapagos in May, the waters are warm. Female turtle come up onto the beaches to lay their eggs, and when they hatch you’ll have a nail biting wait to see if the hatchlings successfully make it to the water’s edge. The clear waters also make for great snorkelling and diving.
