Tanzania in November

Africa's best authentic tailor-made safaris

November kickstarts the rainy season, although showers only occur for short periods. Heavy rain is not continuous, and the weather fluctuates between clear skies and dry days and cloudy days with some rain.

This month typically mirrors the end of October, and wildlife is still consistent. Parks such as the Mahale and Arusha national parks are great regions for birding, given that wildlife can become dispersed as soon as the rain falls.

The Mahale National Park features explosions of butterflies should game-life viewing become challenging. Although the wildebeest migration is still taking place, their location can be unpredictable due to inconsistent periods of rain during the month.

Weather in November

The weather typically gets cooler from November onwards, with occasional showers. These rains shouldn’t heavily impact a Tanzania safari, as the official rainy season hasn’t begun yet. Pack a jacket for the occasional short showers.

National Parks to Visit in Tanzania and Why

Serengeti National Park

Migratory birds are best seen in November, and wildlife viewing is good, which means you are spoiled for choice in your safari experience. Four of the Big Five occur here, although seeing leopards can be rare.

Ngorongoro Crater

Birding and wildlife viewing are in their prime this month. The park is lush with greenery because of the wet season, making it a great time for photography.

Lake Manyara National Park

Migratory birds are commonly found in the wet season, and different species of birds make a safari experience worthwhile. There are still opportunities for wildlife viewing, and lush green scenery is part of this month’s personality.

Activities to do in November

  • Yoga
  • Spa day
  • Birding
  • Game drives
