When compared to October, November sees a slight drop in temperature and the reintroduction of rainfall. This trend of increasing rainfall and reducing temperatures continues into December. The landscapes begin to transform from brown to green, particularly in regions like the Luangwa Valley, as the rains breathe life back into the vegetation.

Although November is part of Zambia's warm season, it does not count among the hottest months. The reintroduction of rain and the slightly cooler temperatures make it an excellent transition month for outdoor activities as the harsh conditions of the dry season start to subside.

The onset of the rainy season, while bringing life back to the landscapes, can start to pose challenges for travel, particularly in rural areas where dirt roads can become muddy and difficult to navigate. Hence, travelers planning a trip to Zambia in November should consider these factors when packing and planning their itinerary.
