November weather
The normals give about 74 mm of rain over 13 wet days, with days of 26.9°C and nights of 17.7°C. The grass grows quickly and the bush thickens through the month, so game is harder to see by the end of November than at the start.
Summer gate hours from 1 November
From 1 November every Ezemvelo source agrees on summer hours: gates open at 05:00 and close at 19:00, two hours longer than in winter. Morning drives from Hilltop and Mpila start at 05:00, Hilltop's sundowner drive at 17:00, and Hilltop's morning walk at 05:30.
A new Ezemvelo tariff
Ezemvelo's tariffs run from 1 November to 31 October, and new rates take effect on 1 November each year. The 2025/26 international conservation fee is R320 per adult per day, and Ezemvelo had not published its 2026/27 figure when this guide was researched. Ask the booking office (+27 33 845 1000) for the current rate. The 2025 trails schedule still had departures until 8 December.
