Zimbabwe in April

Africa's best authentic tailor-made safaris

Considering the pleasant weather and wildlife viewing, April is a good time to visit Zimbabwe.

Game drives can get chilly at night, so pack warmer clothes.

This month, a great park to visit is Matobo National Park, where you can track rhinos and see prehistoric rock art that gives a glimpse into the past inhabitants of Zimbabwe.

Wildlife sightings tend to be slow this time of year, but it can be a rewarding experience when spotted.

When visiting here, it’s helpful to know that the ethnic group present are the Shona people. A vacation here will broaden your horizons as you learn about the many fascinating cultures.

Weather in April

Clear skies are present in April with occasional showers, but the good news is that the rainy season ends in April.

Wildlife in Zimbabwe can be difficult at this time of year, considering the availability of waterholes.

Nights tend to get cold in Zimbabwe, so layer up to avoid catching a chill.

Highlight Park in April

Matobo National Park

April is a good time to visit Matobo National Park as migrant bird species are still around as the wet season ends.

Birds you can expect to see here are the augur buzzard, black-collared barbet, boulder chat, mocking cliff chat, and Verreaux’s eagle.

Wildlife viewing here can still be a little challenging, but some animals you can expect to see are giraffes, hippos, zebras, and wildebeests.
