What to expect in November

🎯 Shoulder season — good value with reasonable accommodation prices Autumn in Durban is often underrated: 25°C, golden light and declining crowds. An interesting window. Expect rain on 41% of days — a light raincoat in the bag is recommended. A good balance between weather and crowds, even if January (8.3/10) remains theoretically better.
