Tanzania safaris in November
November is a month of revival of nature’s colors and subtle transformation of the terrain .
November is part of the short rainy season characterized by both sunny days and short rains on average compared to the intense wet months from March to May .
As the passing bursts of rain provide a respite on the heat , they also have profound effect on the behavior and distribution of wildlife. Various parched waterholes gradually fill causing many animal species like large herds of wildebeest, zebras , buffaloes and antelopes species to disperse .
Despite this dispersion wildlife viewing is still exceptional through game drives . Tourists will spot predators like lions , leopards , hyenas and cheetahs around vital water sources waiting for their prey . Such game drives are fantastic in Tanzania ‘s top National parks like Serengeti , Ngorogoro, Tarangire , Mikumi among others .
Adding to a more excellent experience are guided nature walks that expose beautiful scenes and rare species ro tourists . Tour guides with more knowledge about the wilderness lead tourists to places where very scene captivates bith mind and soul . This always a wonderful opportunity for photographers to capture amazing pictures creating long lasting memories .
Birdwatching is also a famous activity for November goers because many migratory burds fill up the inland parks . If your a burd lover don’t forget to carry your binoculars because this month is a time to witness the wilderness filled with color and song . Some of the birds to spot are African jacana , Hammerkop , black heron , crab plover among others .
Cultural experiences add another interesting layer to November experiences. A visit to local villages offers an intimate glimpse into the traditions of local communities such as the Masai the most famous tribe in the country . The interactions with the locals give insight into how indigenous practices and wisdom have been shaped . When you visit a local community don’t forget to support the locals by purchasing some of their items like bead work , woodcarvings , Kitengi clothes amimg others .
