Here’s what’s happening in April in Africa:
Across East and Southern Africa
- The rutting season begins for warthogs, wildebeest and impala, so there is a lot of snorting and clashing of horns to add some drama to your photography.
- Fruit trees are in bloom throughout the continent, making for some very happy baboons, vervet monkeys, birds, elephants and other fruit loving species.
- It’s even breeding season for the crocodiles, as they too make the most of this time of plenty.

Southern Africa
- In southern Africa, you can benefit from some excellent “shoulder season” pricing with lovely warm, dry weather during the so called “Green Season”. Here are some tips on Watching your Wallet…
- In Zambia, the lower Zambezi Valley is drying out to receive visitors again, as are the Mana Pools (Diane’s ‘little bit of heaven’ since 1990) across the river in Zimbabwe.
- Lake Malawi is crystal clear, the bush still green and the temperature is perfect.

Cape Town & Surroundings
- The harvest season is coming to an end in and around Cape Town, but the weather is still summery, so expect a busy Cape Town and crowded beaches all along the coast and Garden Route – particularly in the week before and after Easter. (Local School Holidays)
