Tanzania in November

Africa's best authentic tailor-made safaris

November marks the start of Tanzania’s low season as the short rains begin. The rains tend to be lighter and less disruptive than the long rains, but they transform the landscape into a vibrant, green environment. Wildlife remains active, and the parks are quieter, offering a peaceful safari experience.

Weather in November

November’s weather is characterised by warm temperatures and increasing humidity. Showers typically fall in the afternoon or evening, leaving mornings and early afternoons clear and suitable for game drives. The short rains refresh the landscape, enhancing the beauty and birdwatching opportunities.

National Parks to Visit in Tanzania During November

Serengeti National Park

The Serengeti begins to green up in November, with young vegetation attracting herbivores. The short rains usually do not interfere with game viewing, and visitors can enjoy a more private safari experience.

Tarangire National Park

Tarangire’s river system sustains large herds of elephants and other wildlife during November’s wetter conditions. Birdwatchers also benefit from the increased activity of migrant and resident species.

Ruaha National Park

Ruaha experiences refreshing rains that invigorate the ecosystem. This time of year is excellent for photography and wildlife viewing in a less crowded environment.

Activities to Do in Tanzania During November

  • Birdwatching during the arrival of migratory species
  • Enjoy quiet safari drives with fewer tourists
  • Photograph the green landscapes and active wildlife
  • Explore Tarangire’s elephant herds and birdlife
  • Experience Ruaha’s refreshed wilderness
