Botswana Safari in November

Africa's best tailor-made safaris

Botswana Safari in November

November is such an interesting month to visit Botswana! It’s full of surprises; some days might feel just like October with the heat, while other days can be pleasantly cool, with a bit of rain adding to the charm.

Even though it’s typically considered a rainy month, don’t let that discourage you! You can still have an incredible safari experience in Botswana. Some parks are bustling with wildlife year-round, and you might even spot different animals than you would see during the drier months.

Just a little tip: make sure to dress warmly! The mornings and evenings can get a bit chilly on game drives, but that just makes the experience even cosier.

Weather in November

The dry season officially ends in November and marks the start of the rainy season. Although days are warm, thundershowers can occur.

National Parks to Visit in Botswana and Why

Central Kalahari Game Reserve

Although November is a wet season, wildlife viewing is at its prime at the Central Kalahari Game Reserve. However, early morning and evening drives can get chilly, so it’s best to layer up.

Linyanti Reserve

November is an excellent time to visit Linyanti Reserve to see the animals splashing through the water.

Seeing ample wildlife is less likely as the wet season occurs in November, but the zebra migration is incredible.

Mashatu Game Reserve

In this game reserve, elephants are the main attraction. Lions, spotted hyenas, and cheetahs can also be seen.

Other animals in the park include giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, and various antelope species.

Activities to do in November

  • Walking safaris
  • Day and night game drives
  • Observing animals in wildlife hides
  • Fishing activities
  • Photographic safaris
