Morocco experiences a very windy season in winter and extreme heat in summer. One of the best times to explore this mystical destination is May. Marrakech, one of the magical cities of the country, is one of the places we recommend you spend at least three to four days to get to know Morocco, understand it and discover its culture. For those who want to extend their vacation, we recommend Rabat, the rising destination of the country. This royal city, where the King of Morocco resides, has recently caught a big break. The arrival of the world-famous Four Seasons hotels in the city proves this…
East Africa Zambia
East Africa, which comes to mind when it comes to safari vacations, is witnessing heavy rains under the influence of El Ninjo this year. Unlike other East African countries, Zambia is experiencing one of the most beautiful seasons in May, where you will not encounter rainfall that prevents the safari experience and where you can have a wonderful safari vacation away from the crowds. South Luangwa National Park should be included in your program as the address where you can see all the animals unique to the continent. Another feature of the country, which you can visit without a visa, is that it shares Victoria Falls, one of the natural wonders of the world, with neighboring Zimbabwe. And May is one of the months when the water level in the falls is at its highest. You should photograph this magnificent beauty.
Indian Ocean Zanzibar
Those who want to make historical and cultural discoveries and enjoy swimming in the ocean can spend pleasant days in Zanzibar, one of the exotic islands of the Indian Ocean. It is a distinct advantage to vacation in May, before the hot summer days begin, away from the crowds of tourists. Zanzibar, which has long been the center of the world spice trade, promises a unique experience for diving and kitesurfing enthusiasts. The north coast of the island is ideal for sea and swimming, while the east coast is ideal for a quiet vacation. The city center of Stone Town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a must-see destination to discover Zanzibar’s exotic history and spice richness.
Caribbean Dominican Republic
The Dominican Republic, which entered our lives with the Survivor program, has a very crowded season until May. Since it will surrender to hurricanes after June, a vacation planned in May would be one of the smartest choices to experience the beauties of this exotic destination you know from the screens. One of the first settlements of Europeans in the Americas, the unique island republic is known for its spectacular beaches and golf courses on the coasts and majestic mountains, rivers and untouched rainforests in the interior. Before the extreme heat sets in, you can enjoy extreme sports and the turquoise waters. The capital, Santo Domingo, is a must-see for its cool entertainment venues, live music shows and impressive street culture.
South America Peru
May stands out as the season when the rains end in Peru. Considering that the crowds of tourists start in June, May is the best time to explore this magical destination of South America. Moreover, you can go without a visa. Of course, one of the important historical values that come to mind when you think of Peru is Machu Picchu, the ancient city of the Inca civilization. Located at a very high point on one of the peaks of the Andes Mountains, the advantage of going to Machu Pichhu before the heat starts, doing the Inca Trail Walk in the coolness and discovering this historical value when the temperatures are not sweltering is completely different. You should also try the ruins and gastronomic innovations in Cusco, the historical capital of the Incas.
Eastern Pacific Galápagos Islands
If you love nature and animals, and if your explorer spirit is dominant when planning a vacation, May, when humidity is low and temperatures hover at moderate levels, is one of the ideal times to see the Galápagos Islands, 97 percent of whose territory is a national park. May, when tropical Galápagos penguins hatch and giant tortoises give birth, is also a unique time to photograph blue-footed boobies and marine iguanas. Those who want to explore the Galápagos archipelago off the coast of Ecuador, which can be visited without a visa, should definitely join boat tours with accommodation. The archipelago, which Charles Darwin discovered in 1835 during a five-week stay, is the address of a unique nature vacation with species that shed light on the theory of evolution.
