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.
