Mozambique in May

Africa's best authentic tailor-made safaris

May is such a lovely time to enjoy wildlife! It’s so delightful to see animals with their little ones.

And let’s not forget about the beautiful beaches in Mozambique! This is a fantastic time to soak up the sun and have some fun outdoors, whether you’re diving, swimming, or trying your hand at windsurfing.

If you’re in the mood for some pampering, you can always indulge in a relaxing spa treatment or join a yoga class.

Mozambique is home to over 750 bird species, like the adorable crab plover, the striking grey-crowned crane, the cheerful lemon-breasted canary, the vibrant Livingstone’s turaco, and the fascinating palm-nut vulture.

Birding here is amazing all year round, so there’s always something special to see and experience!

Weather in May

May is the start of the dry winter season, and wildlife viewing is often at its best.

There is little chance of rain by this time of year, and blue skies will be prominent.
