Place Al AMAL Map
Park location and safari lodges
Morocco offers a unique safari experience, blending dramatic landscapes with fascinating wildlife. We find the shoulder seasons, April to May and September to October, offer the most comfortable...
January
Winter
Expect cold temperatures, especially in the Atlas Mountains and Sahara. Days are generally sunny but can be crisp.
Birding is excellent as resident species are active and winter visitors are present. Look for Barbary macaques in the mountains.
We love the stark beauty of the desert in winter, perfect for stargazing.
February
lowWinter
Temperatures begin to moderate, though mornings and evenings remain cool. Sunny days are common.
It's a great time for birdwatching with many species still in residence or preparing for migration. Desert species are active.
We recommend heading to the coast for excellent birding opportunities before the spring rush.
March
moderateSpring
Spring arrives with milder temperatures across the country. The Atlas Mountains may still have snow at higher elevations.
The landscape begins to green, attracting more herbivores. Migratory birds start to arrive, boosting birdwatching potential.
We find March ideal for exploring the foothills of the Atlas Mountains as wildflowers begin to bloom.
April
moderateSpring
Pleasant and warm temperatures prevail, making it comfortable for exploration. Occasional spring showers are possible.
Wildlife activity increases significantly with newborns appearing. Bird migration is in full swing, offering fantastic viewing.
We love the vibrant colours of the landscape and the abundance of birdlife this month.
May

Temperatures become warmer, especially in the desert regions. Coastal areas remain pleasantly mild.
This is a prime month for spotting various desert-adapted species and enjoying the last of the spring bird migrants.
We recommend a desert excursion in May to witness the fennec fox and other nocturnal creatures.
June
highSummer
It gets hot, particularly inland and in the Sahara. Coastal areas offer a welcome respite with cooler sea breezes.
Wildlife congregates around water sources. Birding is still good, though many migrants have moved on.
We suggest focusing on coastal parks or higher altitude reserves to escape the intense heat.
July
highSummer
Peak summer heat. Days are long and very hot across most of the country, especially in the desert.
Activity is concentrated in the cooler early mornings and late evenings. Barbary macaques are often seen seeking shade.
We find the Atlas Mountains offer the most comfortable wildlife viewing conditions during the height of summer.

As temperatures drop, wildlife activity picks up. The start of autumn bird migration begins.
We love the return of comfortable temperatures, making desert exploration a pleasure again.
