Africa's best authentic tailor-made safaris

Tanzania in April

Wildlife can be harder to spot in April as the rainy season is in full flow. Most parks are open and green this month, but game life can be more challenging to spot. However, if you’re patient, there is a chance that you’ll see big game life.

Although in smaller concentrations, black rhinos, striped cheetahs, wild dogs, and sable antelopes are found on a Tanzania safari. In Tanzania, you have a greater chance of seeing elephants, lions, giraffes, chimpanzees, leopards, cheetahs, and hippos.

While it’s hard to spot big game life this month, the rainy season is when birding usually thrives, and the chances of seeing different species of birds are much greater.

Weather in April

Wild animals are more dispersed in April, giving way to opportunities to see different species of birds.

Heavy showers are constant, and lightning occurs often. This type of weather usually leaves the door open for a photographic safari, as thunderstorms and lightning strikes give a good chance of dramatic photography.

National Parks to Visit in Tanzania and Why

What to do:

  • Chimp trekking

Ruaha National Park

Birding is at its best during April, while wildlife viewing is minimal. This month, you can expect lush green scenery, which is ideal for photography.

  • Birding

Ngorongoro Crater

Wildlife viewing is optimal in the Ngorongoro Crater all year round, and it’s the perfect place to spot predatory wildlife such as wild dogs, lions, and spotted hyenas.
