For Wildlife Spectacles: South Africa 

This is dry winter season in South Africa, making it ideal for wildlife safaris. In Kruger National Park, thinning vegetation and animals gathering at water sources significantly improve sightings. Daytime temperatures are pleasant (15−25°C), though mornings and evenings can be cool. Beyond safaris, Cape Town and the Winelands are equally delightful, offering comfortable weather perfect for hiking and wine tasting.

It's also fantastic for exploring the lush Black River Gorges National Park or the unique Seven Coloured Earths of Chamarel. With fewer crowds than during peak season, May offers a serene and idyllic island escape.
