April in Kenya sees the start of the long rainy season. While you might experience some showers, these are often short-lived and followed by sunshine. The landscape is incredibly lush and green, creating a stunning backdrop for your safari. Don't let the rain deter you – it often means fewer crowds and incredible photographic opportunities.
Packing for April requires a bit more planning. Lightweight, breathable clothing is still essential, but pack a lightweight waterproof jacket or poncho to protect yourself from the rain. Quick-drying fabrics are a must! Sturdy walking shoes are also important, as the ground can be muddy in places. Check out our range of practical safari clothing at www.tagsafari.co.uk, including waterproof jackets and durable trousers perfect for April's conditions.
The rain renews the bush, making it a feast for the eyes. While game viewing might require a bit more patience, the rewards are often spectacular. Consider visiting the less crowded parks like Meru or Samburu National Reserves. The Masai Mara is also beautiful in April, although the wildebeest migration might have moved on to the northern Serengeti in Tanzania.
Remember, a little rain can add a unique dimension to your safari experience. Embrace the green landscapes and enjoy the special atmosphere of April in Kenya. Find your perfect safari outfit at www.tagsafari.co.uk and prepare for an unforgettable adventure!
