Tanzania In May

Mayhem of Wildlife: Tanzania's May Marvels

May in Tanzania brings in a season of incredible natural wonders. It is a prime time for safaris and we highly recommend May for its combination of lush landscapes, fewer crowds, and unique wildlife encounters. May also brings an air of anticipation, as the Great Migration's dramatic river crossings begin in the Serengeti. Simba Safaris invites you to witness this grand spectacle, guided by our experts who possess an intimate knowledge of the region.

Weather Conditions

May in Tanzania is a month of renewal and vibrancy. The temperatures range from comfortably warm to pleasantly cool. All of this makes it an ideal time for a safari adventure.

In the lowlands and coastal regions, maximum average temperatures hover around 30°C (86°F).
These conditions create a welcoming atmosphere for outdoor exploration.
Meanwhile, in the highlands, temperatures remain cooler, with daytime highs of approximately 25°C (77°F).
Rainfall in May is a rare occurrence, with minimal precipitation levels.
The sporadic showers barely make a dent in the landscape. This dry spell ensures that your safari experiences remain uninterrupted.

Tanzania in May offers ample sunshine, with around 8 to 9 hours of daylight per day. The extended hours of sunlight provide excellent conditions for wildlife viewing and outdoor activities.

We share the Heart of Tanzania with every Guest and bring its warmth to you – the adventurer!

All the arrangements made with Simba were well organised and exactly as booked. Very professional company. Our tour guide and driver for the 6 nt safari was John Marko who was very knowledgeable, helpful and quick to spot animals.

We experienced a 7 day Safari with Hassan through Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire National Park. Everything was well organized. Hassan was waiting for us with hot coffee at the airport and drove us for the first game drive to Lake Manyara.
