April in Africa

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

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)
