Introduction November sits in a sweet spot for school travel across Uganda – it follows the long rains, precedes the busiest holiday periods, and typically brings comfortable weather, reduced visitor numbers, and excellent learning conditions. Over the last decade Miana Tours has refined school packages specifically for November to maximise learning outcomes while keeping safety and affordability at the forefront.

Why November works so well for school tours

The climate during November is usually warm but not oppressively hot, and most parks, cultural sites and outdoor classrooms are less crowded. This means children have more opportunities for hands-on exploration – from wetland ecology in Entebbe to geothermal studies at Semuliki’s Sempaya Hot Springs. For teachers, the timing often fits into academic calendars as an end-of-year wrap-up, enabling excursions that reinforce curriculum topics.

Top school tour destinations for November 2025

1. Sempaya Hot Springs – Semuliki National Park

Sempaya’s geothermal activity provides an outstanding live lab for earth science and geography lessons. Students can observe mineral deposits, talk to park guides about geothermal processes, and compare plant life around hot spring microclimates. Miana Tours arranges guided walks and safe viewing points to make the visit both engaging and educational.

2. The Uganda Equator – Kayabwe

A classic geography trip: experiments demonstrating Coriolis-related phenomena, local craft demonstrations, and crisp November skies that make photography and outdoor demonstrations easy. This is ideal for primary and secondary science curricula.

3. Wildlife Education Centre (UWEC) – Entebbe

UWEC offers curriculum-linked sessions on animal biology, conservation and rehabilitation. November’s mild temperatures mean animals are more active and students enjoy longer, more comfortable sessions with educators.

4. Adventure & team-building parks

Leadership and social skills build outside the classroom. Rope courses, low-rope team challenges, and leadership exercises reinforce classroom lessons in communication, trust and resilience – all delivered with trained facilitators who adapt activities to your students’ age and skill levels.
