What are the highlights of visiting Malawi in November?

Most lake lodges are open
It isn’t peak season, so it’s less expensive than June, July, and August
The majority of lodges continue to offer a good range of activities such as diving, snorkelling, and kayaking
November is a transition month in Zambia too, so if you combine your lake break with time on safari you’ll likely see both dry and wet days – and look out for migrating blue wildebeest in Zambia, amidst gorgeous greenery once the rains begin.

Any lowlights?

This month can feel too hot for some travellers
It can get very humid too
Once the rains resume, the mosquitoes return
Rainy conditions don’t make for the best sunbathing
Many of the more remote bushcamps in Zambia close at the start of the month.
