Tanzania in May is a period of refreshing transformation as the rains taper off, revealing a lush and vibrant landscape. This month is perfect for those who seek to immerse themselves in nature's rejuvenation. The country's national parks, including the Serengeti, are alive with wildlife, making it an ideal time for safaris. Meanwhile, the serene beaches of Zanzibar offer a peaceful retreat. May's warm days and cool nights create an ideal climate for exploring Tanzania's diverse environments, from its savannahs to its sandy shores.
In May, Tanzania shifts from a wet to dry season, offering a pleasant climate. The northern regions like Arusha and the Serengeti experience mild mornings around 17°C, warming up to around 27°C in the afternoons. The south has slightly warmer days, while coastal regions like Dar es Salaam and Zanzibar are warmer and humid. Reduced rainfall and sporadic showers create ideal conditions for enjoying outdoor activities.
May in Tanzania is a wildlife lover's dream. Experience the majestic Great Migration in the Serengeti and abundant wildlife in national parks. It's also ideal for climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, thanks to clearer skies. For a more relaxed pace, Zanzibar's beaches offer serene relaxation and excellent conditions for snorkelling and diving in crystal-clear waters.
To immerse in Tanzania's breathtaking natural beauty, the prime visiting period extends from June to October, the dry season. This timeframe promises the most vibrant wildlife encounters and the majestic spectacle of the Serengeti's wildebeest migration. Furthermore, the months of January to February are ideal for experiencing the remarkable phenomenon of wildebeest calving.

We (2 adults plus 2 kids aged 9+11) undertook a 10 day trip to Arusha, Lake Eyasi, Ngorongoro, Serengeti, Lake Manyara and Tarangire. We wanted an individual tour which included not only game driving but some insights into socio-cultural life in Tanzania (the kids attended a local school for two days and we wanted to spend some time with the Datoga tribe and bushmen at Lake Eyasi)
