November is a time of refreshing experiences because of the mix of rain, sunshine, and green vegetation in the park. It marks the end of the wet season, so the rains are fewer compared to earlier months. See our full best time to visit guide for a month-by-month breakdown.
Weather in November
Daytime temperatures in November are usually around 31°C, while nighttime temperatures drop to around 21°C. The park receives heavy rainfall, averaging between 111mm and 145mm.
These rains bring the park to life. Mornings are often clear, while afternoons bring short but heavy showers that help the land grow and stay green.
Wildlife Viewing in November
Vegetation in the park continues to grow well, and many animals are active. Visitors can see animals such as elephants, giraffes, antelopes, and sometimes lions and leopards.
Birding in November
Bird watchers also enjoy November. The wet environment attracts many birds, including the African fish eagle, shoebill stork, and grey crowned crane.
The Falls in November
The Murchison Falls are even more powerful during this time. The rain increases the water levels, making the falls stronger and more impressive.
Culture and Research in November
Besides nature, November is also a good time to learn about the culture and history of the area. Tourists can visit local communities and learn about traditions that have been passed down through generations.
November is also a month when conservationists and researchers visit the park to study how seasonal changes affect animal behavior and movement.
Booking Advantages in November
Because November falls just before the busier December season, tourists visiting this month often find lodges less crowded and easier to book on shorter notice, sometimes at better rates than during peak months.
What to Pack
Visitors are advised to pack a light rain jacket, sturdy waterproof shoes, and quick-drying clothing to stay comfortable during the short afternoon showers common this month.
