Botswana is a fantastic safari destination, and in April there is plenty of opportunity to experience the country’s impressive natural surroundings.
April is the start of Botswana’s dry season, which is the country’s winter, and the month is generally characterised by blue skies with very little rain. Compared to previous months, temperatures drop slightly in April, but it is still warm. Even though it is the dry season, there may still be a little precipitation.
As the dry season continues, the animals’ access to water disappears, and they therefore congregate in places where there is water to be found, for example on the banks of the Chobe River.
Although April is the start of the dry season, it is still shoulder season (the period between low season and high season) in Botswana, and you will find that there are fewer visitors here than when you get further into the dry season.

South Africa is a big country, and in April you can experience several types of seasons, depending on where you travel to.
In Cape Town, the year is divided into classic seasons, and here April is an autumn month. The landscapes are covered in reddish-brownish shades, and the weather is warm and pleasant with a limited amount of rain, although a little more than in the previous summer months – in return, you get fewer visitors and lower prices in April, but definitely not less experiences. The autumn weather in Cape Town is ideal for outdoor activities, for example climbing Table Mountain, visiting the wine country or simply enjoying the sight of the beautiful landscapes dressed in autumn colours.
In the northeastern part of South Africa, where Kruger National Park is located, there is instead a distinction between the rainy season and the dry season, with April being right at the beginning of the dry season. This means that the surroundings remain lush after the previous months’ rain, but the colours start to change from green to brown, and the leaves begin to fall off, making it easier to spot the wildlife in the national park.
