Although April is not known as the best month for wildlife viewings (May-September is best), there will still be plenty of opportunities to encounter animals during your game drives at this time of year.
This is the best time of year to visit the Drakensberg Mountains as temperatures are still pleasant and summer rains will subside. The lessening cloud coverage means the mountain range is clear for fantastic landscape photography. Due to the high elevation of the Drakensberg Mountains, winter evenings can drop as low as freezing so travelling in the autumnal months of April and May is preferable.
