Belize
With approximately 40 per cent of land classified as protected, the forests support a vast range of wildlife including five large cat species - margay, jaguarundi, ocelot, puma and jaguar. Bird life is also abundant with over 500 species recorded. Boasting some exceptional jungle lodges (including one which the late Gerald Durrell described as the model to which all other lodges should aspire) and superb reef resorts, Belize has something for everyone who enjoys nature, both below and above water, and relishes good accommodation and reliable service. When to GoThe most popular time to visit is the dry season from December to May, with June to October being the wet period, and Christmas and Easter the height of the season. August is often a dry month. For wildlife viewing, June/July can be an excellent time because the fresh rains bring out the wildlife after the stifling heat of May. Often during the rainy season, a “mauger” or “little dry” occurs in August. Because overall precipitation only varies a little between the seasons, Belize can be seen as a year-round destination, apart from September and October: the hurricane season. |
