Mozambique in April

Africa's best authentic tailor-made safaris

April marks the beginning of Mozambique’s shoulder season, offering a balanced combination of favourable weather and fewer tourists. The rains begin to subside, and while the landscapes are still lush, the wildlife starts to become easier to spot. It’s an excellent time for those who want to experience the beauty of the country without the peak season crowds.

Temperatures start to cool down, and the rain becomes less frequent, although occasional showers can still occur. The humidity remains moderate, and the lush landscapes continue to provide great photographic opportunities. Light clothing, including a light rain jacket, is still recommended.

Gorongosa National Park

April is a fantastic time to visit Gorongosa, as the park’s rich biodiversity becomes more visible with the fading rains. The vegetation remains lush, and the area is less crowded, offering an intimate experience while spotting birds, primates, and smaller game.

Bazaruto Archipelago

The Bazaruto Archipelago remains a beautiful destination in April. The water is still warm, and marine life is abundant. Visibility for diving and snorkelling improves as the rains ease. It’s a great month for those seeking a more peaceful beach retreat.

Maputo Special Reserve

This is one of the best times to explore the Maputo Special Reserve. The grasslands are still lush, and the reserve is less crowded than during peak season, giving you a more private safari experience. Wildlife sightings are plentiful, and the weather is comfortable.

Activities to Do in Mozambique During April

  • Game drives and wildlife safaris
  • Diving and snorkelling in Bazaruto
  • Scenic beach walks and relaxation
  • Birdwatching safaris
