May in Kenya is deep within the long rainy season. Expect more frequent showers, but also expect fewer tourists. This means you can enjoy a more intimate safari experience with fewer crowds. The bush is incredibly vibrant and green, offering fantastic photographic opportunities.
Packing for May is similar to April – prioritise lightweight, breathable clothing and a good waterproof jacket. Mud can be a factor, so sturdy, waterproof walking shoes are a must. Our selection of durable and practical safari clothing at www.tagsafari.co.uk includes everything you need for a comfortable trip, including waterproof jackets and trousers.
While the wildebeest migration is typically in Tanzania during May, other wildlife viewing is still excellent. Consider visiting parks like Amboseli, known for its large elephant herds, or the quieter reserves like Shaba. The lush landscapes make for truly stunning scenery.
Don't be put off by the rain. May offers a unique safari experience with beautiful scenery and fewer crowds. Prepare for the weather with the right gear from www.tagsafari.co.uk and enjoy a memorable Kenyan adventure!
