April marks the turning point between the wet and dry seasons in Kruger National Park. The rains taper off, the sky opens up, and the bush begins to thin. This sweet-spot month offers lush scenery without the chaos of storms, along with increasing wildlife visibility, cooler mornings, and golden afternoons.
For guests joining Eugene Safaris, April is a quietly spectacular time to visit. There’s enough greenery left to enjoy the summer beauty, but the bush is calming, the roads are quieter, and animal activity is more predictable.
