Is November a good time to visit Madagascar? It depends. November is marking the start of the rainy season in central and eastern Madagascar, with temperatures around 30°C. Weather can be unpredictable. Some roads can get muddy and some hotels start wrapping up their activity and closing down. In general the area of the north and south could still be visited.
However, this is one of the best times to visit Masoala, which is located in a protected bay. While the whole country is experiencing rains, here it is peaceful and calm. The driest months of the year here are from October until the end of December. It is rare that a jersey is required in this season, temperatures ranging from 20°C at night to 35°C on the hottest days. This is the season when the birds and mammals are most active in the early morning and the sea is usually calm and clear.
