Botswana
May is one of the best times to visit Botswana as it coincides with the start of the dry season. The absence of rainfall means watering holes dry up and animals head towards more permanent sources of water - perfect for wildlife viewing, especially on the Chobe River or Okavango Delta, which have less extreme, more moderate temperatures than the drier areas of the Kalahari.

Spain
Head south to the archipelego of the Canary Islands for some reliable early summer sun, an array of activities, family-friendly hotels and plenty of beach action.
