Botswana Safari in April

Africa's best tailor-made safaris

Botswana Safari in April

April marks a significant transition in the natural landscape, as the rainy season concludes and the skies clear. This change leads to vibrant green environments that are visually striking and foster a rich biodiversity. Wildlife observation opportunities increase during this time, with various parks offering unique botswana safari experiences.

The month is particularly advantageous for birdwatching and wildlife observation. Early mornings and evenings are the most active times for game drives, presenting ideal conditions to witness interactions between predators and their prey. Bring along your binoculars to enhance your experience of the natural world during this dynamic season. There’s so much to see and tick off during these scenic and productive wildlife experiences.

April begins to dry up, with only occasional rains. During the wet season, wild animals can be harder to spot, but as the weather improves in Botswana, so does the game life.
