May marks the start of the dry season and an excellent time for game viewing.
As the rain decreases, vegetation begins to dry out and watering holes dry up, making animals far easier to find while on game drives.
Weather in May
There is often little to no chance of rain in May, and wildlife viewing improves significantly.
The sun is out, and game drives are much better.
Morning game drives are pretty chilly, so remember to dress warm.
