Rwanda in April

Africa's best authentic tailor-made safaris

April marks a significant time in Akagera National Park as it falls within the wet season, providing a vibrant backdrop for wildlife activity, particularly with the arrival of newborn animals.

During this month, rainfall peaks, which can lead to time constraints for gorilla trekking activities due to weather conditions.

However, bird watching thrives during this period, with an impressive 480 species available for observation. Notable bird species in the park include the African fish eagle, black-headed gonolek, marabou stork, sooty chat, and white-browed coucal.

For birding enthusiasts, experiencing these birds while on a mokoro or canoe safari offers a truly enchanting perspective. Remember to pack your binoculars to see them up close!

Weather in April

Gorilla trekking may not be the ideal activity to do in April, although time spent with them may be limited.
