Kenya in November

Africa's best authentic tailor-made safaris

View Photos

Between sunny and cloudy weather, November introduces occasional heavy showers of rain and flooding in some areas. The arrival of more rain generally means that wildlife has now become much more dispersed and, therefore, challenging to spot.

However, the rainy months always offer unique safari experiences. A photographic safari is generally the best way to make the most of your trip during the wet season, as exceptionally green landscapes can create dramatic moments to capture.

Areas to visit during a wet month like November are Amboseli National Park, which is known to have 420 bird species, and Chyulu Hills National Park, which is generally good all year round.

Weather in November

Although the weather is warm, November is known to have regular thunderstorms and, on occasion, heavy thunderstorms. This irregular weather tends to impact safaris in that big game life is now harder to spot as more pools of water are now available.

National Parks to Visit in Kenya and Why

Amboseli National Park

November is a wet month, with rains being more prevalent. The park has 420 bird species, including the African jacana, Goliath heron, grey-crowned crane, Hartlaub’s bustard, and rufous chatterer. A photographic safari during this month is ideal, as some of the best photographs are captured in rainy weather.

Chyulu Hills National Park

What Chyulu Hills National Park lacks in big game life, it more than makes up for in birds. The species that call this park home include the African scops owl, southern ground hornbill, little bee-eater, striped kingfisher, and more.

If you encounter wildlife, some animals to check off your list are klipspringers, giraffes, zebras, baboons, and Sykes’ monkeys.

Ol Pejeta National Park

This time of year is exceptional for birding, as vegetation thrives and lush landscapes provide great photographic opportunities. November is also when you can see newborn animals, a unique safari experience compared to game drives in the dry season.

Activities to do in November

  • Photographic safaris
  • Cultural experiences with local tribes
  • Birding
  • Migration safaris
