Zimbabwe in November

Africa's best authentic tailor-made safaris

November marks the beginning of the wet season, which brings invigorating thunderstorms! By mid-month, you can expect the rains to roll in, while the temperatures usually stay nice and warm.

While wildlife viewing might slow down a bit with the rains, don’t worry—this is actually a fantastic time for birdwatching! The wet season brings a flurry of migratory birds, making it an exciting time for bird enthusiasts.

If you’re looking for a great spot, Zambezi National Park is fabulous this month! You can catch a glimpse of beautiful birds resting on the sandbanks or soaring across the water.

Keep an eye out for some amazing species like the African skimmer, collared palm-thrush, goliath heron, long-toed lapwing, and the cheerful white-fronted bee-eater.

Weather in November

Temperatures reach a high of 33 degrees, and although the rain starts pouring, the weather tends to be warm.

This month is an excellent time for a photographic safari as thunderstorms create dramatic photography opportunities.

Highlight Park to Visit in November and Why

Matobo National Park

November is a fair time to visit Matobo National Park, as birdwatching is at its prime. Wildlife viewing, on the other hand, becomes difficult around this time of year as vegetation gets thicker.

The birds you see here are the augur buzzard, black-collared barbet, boulder chat, mocking cliff chat, and Verreaux’s eagle.

Activities to do in November

  • Birding
  • Spa treatments
  • Photographic safaris
