Where to go April Easter season; Kenya is exhilarating and worth a travelling destination to go too this festival season of Easter which usually appears in April yearly. Although the month of April seems to be wet, rainy month in Kenya but the coast is hot and rainstorms are frequent. However, during Easter season wildlife safaris seem to be difficult due to thick vegetation which leads to lack of seeing animals while visiting the water source. While it doesn’t mean that when it rains, you can go on with activity, rain may fall in the afternoon and still have time to enjoy the morning hours.
Weather
The month of April is one of the wettest in Kenya and sometimes hotter of year most especially earlier in the month and at the coast it has average temperature that ranges from 86 degrees Celsius during daytime. Though in Nairobi it’s a bit cooler during daytime with average temperature of 77 degrees Celsius and nighttime’s dropping to about 55F.
Since the whole month rain falls throughout, thus leading to the following months to look green, grass grows tall and mosquitoes are ubiquitous in all national parks. Thus recommending you to carry insect repellent which is essential.
Crowds and Costs
Note, during Easter season ‘’April’’ lodges, national parks, museum, attraction sites become much crowds and the beach resort becomes more worth crowds. Another thing, costs can be high and we advise our guest to always book early during this season and since it can be a long holiday for everyone to enjoy the season. To most of hotels during Easter season it offers special green season rates and airlines tend to drop their prices.
Where to go; April Easter Season
Nairobi sounds as a better destination to visit in Kenya in April. During this period of the year temperature tends to be cooler at the city than the other of the coast and there are various stunning indoor activities that keeps busy during the afternoon rain showers. It’s not only visiting the beaches but also restaurants often carryout special promotions just try to attract visitors during the off-season and it’s all about you to choose to take advantages of lower prices.
Safaris are bit hard to access since it can be rain season thus making wildlife viewing less ideal and roads can be difficult to navigate. Elephants are less likely to come to waterholes since the rain cool them. Addition to that, vegetation becomes thick thus making cats and other game harder to explore. Overall, you may not see as much wildlife species during this period.
Thus making it prices much cheaper due to heavy rains but it doesn’t mean it rains the whole day, it may fall in the morning and in the afternoon a day turns to norm and head out for the activity. Please note, temperatures in the morning can be frigid, so you need to pack essential items.
