Remember:

That month is not the best month to spend holidays in Sierra Leone. The weather in Freetown, Lungi, Kabala, Bonthe and Makeni is ok but correct. The sun is not there all the time and you risk you to be soaked by rain regularly. However, if you don't plan a beach and sun travel in Sierra Leone but rather nature excursions or a trek, this climate could be appropriate. In addition, there are certainly fewer tourists at this time.

It's much worse in Koldu, Kenema and Daru and surrounding areas where the climate is very bad. It is really not advisable to travel to these areas in may.
