May be is an auxiliary verb + linking verb: It means "might be" or "could be"
e.g. We may be able to travel to London.

Maybe is an adverb: It means 'perhaps'
e.g: Maybe we can travel to London.

"Probably" is used to express a prediction about something that may or may not happen.
e.g. We will probably reach London by evening.

Hope this has helped you.
