10 Best Safari in April and How Can You Make It?

Posted by
(Last Updated On: December 13, 2022)

Safari in April has some basic characteristics. April shows East Africa in the middle of its long monsoon, and South Africa comes out in the summer and enjoys low temperatures and rainfall.

The weather may be unpredictable at this time of year, so pack accordingly. Be sure to pack light clothing to cover open areas, wide-brimmed hats, sunglasses, and high-factor sun lotions during the safari in April.

And of course, keep a raincoat nearby for a weird shower. Read this article for a complete safari packing list and more about asanas tu in Africa while going for the safari in April.

Best Safari in April and How Can You Make It?

Places to visit wildlife can be disastrous – largely due to the thicker green plants and higher water availability during the dry months. But bird watching is still great, though many summer migrants have now returned to their breeding grounds.

Expect fewer tourists and lower prices than during the clear safari months, and many lodges far away from easily accessible areas still offer discounts at this time of year, while others are still closed due to high levels of floodwater.

Be aware of mosquitoes during twilight and darkness, wear long sleeves and long pants, sleep under the mosquito and apply some form of mosquito repellent.

When the Great Migration is in full swing and moving north across the Serengeti, much of East Africa is in the midst of its lengthy rains. The weather may be unpredictable but gorgeously spectacular at this time.

The majority of the heavy rains have finished in Southern Africa’s well-known safari regions, and the heat from the height of summer has subsided. At this time of year, the bushveld is breathtakingly magnificent, lush, and green; nevertheless, it might be difficult to identify animals due to the abundance of birds.

It’s a great time to visit the Okavango Delta in Botswana since the rivers are full at that time. The formidable Victoria Falls in Zambia/Zimbabwe will also be at its strongest. We suggest you exercise caution during this time – please consult your doctor before or during the safari in April.

1. South Africa

The routes to Cape Town and the Garden are now enjoying the mild weather of early autumn, and even with the long summer days, you can enjoy beaches and outdoor living.

And of course, there is no festive season queue, which means great opportunities for wine, dining, and chilling on the beach.

Greater Kruger National Park in South Africa is good for all seasons and April is no exception.

The national park is busy all year long, and we instead propose a private archive on the west side of the park, where privacy enhances the experience. Great guides increase your chances of finding the Big 5 (lion, leopard, elephant, rhinoceros, and buffalo).

In South Africa, we also recommend giving the Madikwe Game Reserve a safari. Not only is it a malaria-free zone, but it’s also a great place to look for the Big 5 and other endangered species such as leopards, wild dogs, and brown hyenas during the safari in April.

In Botswana, many lodges offer good discounts on the green season – but note that wildlife of the popular species is few and far between.

The annual Okavango Delta floodwater is moving south from the Angolan highlands, but in April, the area is still in the north and many have not yet reached the lodge during the safari in April.

Lodges with deep water channels, which lasted only in April, provide water activities such as boat buys and macaro excursions.

For both Zambia and Zimbabwe, the adventure capital of Victoria Falls is open for business all year long and is a must for any Africa-fanatical fanatics.

The river is high during April, so expect to be sprayed dry and deaf at the sound of the torrent at the waterfall and at the lower neck while you are on the safari in April.

2. East and Central Africa

If you visit in April to see the Great Wildebeest Migration, you will need your rain jacket. The flocks are now in Serengeti, southwest of Tanzania, and they cross the Ndutu region, crossing the Simba Kopje on the Moru side during the safari in April.

There are lions in Simba Kopje and in the strictly photographic sense of the word it is worth spending some time on the lion hunt.

The wettest part of the day is dusk. Rain makes the plains slippery and vehicles will fight to get anywhere. Click here for a month-by-month description of the world’s greatest show for the safari in April.

3. Great migration explanation

Kenya’s Masai Mara is now enjoying its ‘secret season’ at a later stage when tourists are few, and a large number of hunting species that are not pursuing livestock begin to attack.

Deer breed youngsters can easily pick up the big cats renowned by the BBC’s Big Cat Diary. For many Kenyan locals, this is the perfect time to stay in Masai Mara.

Islands like Zanzibar and Seychelles are enjoying their annual long rainfall and the onset of the monsoon season, so for those who prefer cloudless skies, we recommend avoiding the islands in April.

April is seeing heavy rainfall for trekking the mountains and lowland gorillas, chimps, and gold monkeys and so we do not recommend delaying your wetting experience until it gets too wet.

4. Botswana

The Okavango Delta starts to flood as the rainy season in Botswana comes to a conclusion, making it undoubtedly one of the most beautiful sites in Africa. Your safari experience will be greatly influenced by the camp you choose, therefore it is important to consult an expert. The impala rut is in full swing right now, and seeing the sleek antelope compete for supremacy over harems of females is intriguing.

The Central Kalahari Game Reserve blossoms even though the remainder of Northern Botswana is in its shoulder season. A lot of the animals like to focus on grazing on lush grasses in the valleys just after the rains and before it becomes too hot and dry.

Food becomes limited and the animals disperse during the driest times of the year. Mornings and nights are typically cool, but daily highs of 30 or above are perfect for prolonged periods of exercise before it gets too hot.

5. Zimbabwe and Zambia

The summer rains, which thunderously fall over the famed Victoria Falls and send huge clouds of mist into the air, will completely charge the mighty Zambezi River, making it one of the greatest times to explore this natural wonder.

This is the start of the dry season in Zimbabwe’s Hwange National Park and Mana Pools National Park, and it’s perhaps one of the most attractive times to visit these magnificent reserves as the wildlife starts to gather around waterholes.

6. Namibia

The rainy season ends with the arrival of April. Namibia is regarded to be at its most attractive during this warm, dry, and sunny period when the air is mainly free of dust and the ordinarily completely orange sands of the barren deserts are punctuated with areas of colorful greenery and vibrantly colored flowers.

The abundance of birds and beautiful scenery more than makeup for the fact that it’s not the ideal season to see animals because there is still plenty of water to be discovered.

7. Tanzania

Don’t be discouraged by the fact that April is a wet month with periodic thunder-filled downpours, as many others are. Traveling to Tanzania and East Africa at this time of year means fewer tourists and more solitude in the woods.

The Ngorogoro Crater’s extinct volcano will be covered in a carpet of yellow and purple flowers and teeming with fauna; it will be just lovely.

8. Sri Lanka

April maintains the pattern of a warm and sunny Sri Lanka environment, especially at the beginning of the month. It is another great month to go to the island. Humidity levels are rather high, particularly in the Cultural Triangle, as it is the conclusion of the dry season in the west and south.

April is often the warmest and driest month of the year in Sri Lanka, with temperatures at least reaching the mid-30°C range in the central and Cultural Triangle districts. With its bright sky and long, sunny days, this month is ideal for going to the beach.

Yala National Park, Kumana National Park, Udawalawe National Park, Horton Plains National Park, Kaudulla National Park, Minneriya National Park, Gal Oya National Park, and Whale Watching Safaris are all included in the best Sri Lanka safari.

9. Mauritius

One of the finest times to travel to Mauritius is April. This is a highly popular month for families wishing to take an Easter holiday because of the pleasantly warm days, chilly evenings, and fantastic sea temperature. Get mesmerized by the magnificent wildlife, Casela World of Adventures, Crocodile and Giant Tortoises Park, and Nature Reserve on Mauritius safaris.

April through October is the driest and warmest month to travel on safari. The wet season is when there are the most animals, however, access to Mana Pools is restricted and several lodges in Hwange close. Start of the dry season.

Start organizing your memorable, personalized African safari trip right away! Africa travel agents with extensive training and understanding. Mauritius offers a variety of safari adventure activities and packages, including quad riding, strolling with lions, and safari car experiences.

10. Madagascar

After a period of intense rain and cyclone season, Madagascar in April welcomes sunlight. Madagascar boasts breathtaking natural beauty, white sand beaches, lovely rainforests, and of course, wonderful animals because of its vast and distinctive environment. The only spot in the world where you can observe lemurs roaming the emerald-green jungles teeming with colorful birds and reptiles is in this region.

A wonderful place to visit if you want to cross whales off your nature bucket list is Madagascar. This is arguably one of the greatest times of year to visit this amazing island because nature is in full bloom and there aren’t many visitors.

Final thought

Mid-Autumn, which only lasts for a brief time, is now in effect in Africa. The formerly dense jungle starts to thin out, revealing more fauna that has started to gather more and more frequently near waterholes.

It’s a great time to visit the wild National Parks, peninsula and lash green lands, and the private concessions. As the weather turns cooler, wildlife becomes more active and there are more possibilities to see it.
