Go on Safari in May
Quest24043603627,May 23, 2026
- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00May is perhaps the best month to go on safari. It is after the rainy month in April and before the busier school holiday period. You see many more animals and few tourists in May and June.
Unforgettable safaris, top-notch agency

- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00It is this agency that organized everything for us: Five unforgettable days of safari in the Selous Reserve. Super high-end jeep just for us. Guides and drivers as kind and considerate as they are professional: they know everything about the animals and went above and beyond for us to discover them. No longer possible. So we saw giraffes, elephants, zebras, crocodiles, impalas, elands, waterbucks, gnus, giraffes, kudus, hyenas (which were devouring a dead hippo...), plenty of hippos, baboons, and monkeys. We even went on a night safari: a great experience, even if it was not easy to see many animals. The agency is attentive and top-notch! Thank you, Safari Beach Holidays
