April

Seychelles

April in the Seychelles is perfect for families seeking a beach escape. With the trade winds calming down, the warm, sunny days are ideal for little ones to splash in the calm, crystal-clear waters. It’s one of the best months for snorkeling and scuba diving, as water visibility is exceptional, allowing you to explore vibrant coral reefs and spot marine life together. There’s little rain, so you can count on uninterrupted beach time and water adventures, making it a top choice for family fun in the sun.

South Africa

April is one of the best months for a holiday in South Africa. The weather is cooler, for both safaris and beach holidays. Kruger National Park’s rainy season has ended, and with fewer crowds your family can enjoy a more intimate safari experience. The cooler mornings are perfect for early game drives, while the afternoons are still warm enough to relax by the pool. Nearby family-friendly reserves like Madikwe, Phinda, and welgevonden offer similar fantastic game viewing and family-focused activities, all in malaria-free areas. The rain hasn’t arrived yet in Cape Town, and April still has sunny, warm days.

Botswana

April is a fantastic time to experience Botswana’s wildlife at a better rate than the July-September peak season. The iconic elephant herds start gathering by the Chobe River, and In the Okavango Delta, families can take a peaceful mokoro safari, gliding through the waterways and spotting animals in a tranquil setting. The lush landscapes of the Kalahari and Nxai Pan are filled with game, and with fewer visitors, you’ll feel like you have the wilderness to yourselves—ideal for a family adventure.
