4 Days Serengeti Migration Safari in May

May is part of the long rainy season in Tanzania. You can expect afternoon showers that clear the air and keep the landscape emerald green. Temperatures are generally warm during the day and pleasantly cool at night.

While the grass is taller, our experienced guides are experts at tracking predators and the migration herds. The vibrant green background makes for excellent photography and the animals are often very healthy and active. This 4-day safari in May in Serengeti Migration offers a very different and beautiful perspective than the dry season.

We use heavy duty 4x4 Land Cruisers that are built to handle the muddy tracks of the Serengeti. Our drivers have years of experience navigating the park in all weather conditions. You will remain safe and comfortable throughout your journey even if the tracks are wet.

You have a very high chance of seeing lions, elephants, buffaloes, and leopards. The rare black rhino is harder to find but is sometimes spotted in specific areas. The abundance of water in May means these animals do not have to travel far to drink.

The main advantage is the lack of crowds, allowing you to have sightings all to yourself. Most luxury lodges offer lower rates during this time, providing excellent value for your money. It is also the peak time for birdwatching as many species are in their bright breeding plumage.

You should pack a high quality waterproof jacket and comfortable waterproof shoes. It is also important to bring warm layers for the cool mornings and evenings. Neutral colored clothing is best to blend into the lush green environment.

Mosquitoes are more active when there is moisture, so it is important to use repellent. Most lodges provide mosquito nets over the beds and spray the rooms daily. Wearing long sleeves and trousers in the evening also helps stay protected.

Yes, we can easily add a visit to the Ngorongoro Crater or Lake Manyara to your itinerary. These parks are also stunningly beautiful and full of life during the green season. Please let us know your preferences so we can tailor the package for you.

All meals are provided from lunch on the first day to lunch on the last day. You will enjoy fresh, hot dinners at your lodge and high quality picnic lunches in the park. We can accommodate any dietary restrictions if you inform us during the booking.

Most permanent lodges and camps offer Wi-Fi in their common lounge areas. The connection might be slower than in the city because of the remote location. It is usually sufficient for basic messaging and sharing a few photos of your trip.
