Mozambique in November

November is part of the shoulder season, offering a balance between good weather and fewer tourists. The rains start to return, but the conditions remain ideal for a safari experience, and the wildlife is still abundant.

Gorongosa National Park

November sees the beginning of the rainy season in Gorongosa, but the park is still beautiful. Wildlife is more dispersed due to the abundant water sources, but the lush landscapes provide fantastic opportunities for photography.

Bazaruto Archipelago

November offers warm weather and clear seas for snorkelling and diving, but the beginning of the rainy season means the beaches may be quieter. It’s a peaceful time to enjoy the archipelago’s beauty without the crowds of peak season.

Maputo Special Reserve

The Maputo Special Reserve is still great to visit in November, with fewer tourists and lush landscapes. The wildlife is spread out due to the increased rain, but the park’s seclusion offers a serene safari experience.
