Madagascar
At the start of the year, Madagascar sees heavy rains, but by April, most of the storms have cleared. Lemurs and reptiles emerge to enjoy the sunshine and countryside. In addition to turning the country lush and green, the rains cool it off slightly, making it an ideal time to take a Madagascar safari.

Botswana
If you want to go on a classic luxury safari in the spring, Botswana is one of the best places to travel in April. It’s just before peak tourism season, which means the game viewing is at its best, yet human traffic is light. The seasons are transitioning between hot, rainy summer to the pleasant days of winter, with clear skies and cool nights. April is perfect for early morning game drives and tales of the day’s sightings around the campfire at night.

Morocco
Travel to the enchanting land of the Berbers and ancient cities in April when the hillsides are blooming with almond blossoms. It’s a great time to explore the colorful cities, mountains, and deserts, or simply sip mint tea and people-watch from a cafe. Our 12-day journey to Morocco explores the ancient culture in both the city and the desert, with stays at Morocco’s most decadent accommodations.

Arctic Circle
April is when the real “arctic” feeling occurs in the Arctic Circle. From the Lofoten Islands to Svalbard, the Norwegian Arctic's endless vistas and icy magic are at their most heightened during this time. We recommend exploring the national parks and nature reserves of the region with a private guide in search of the area’s many land and marine animals. Alternatively, opt for a thrilling expedition cruise around Svalbard. Look for long haired reindeer, foxes, seals, walrus colonies, and more than 2,500 polar bears who make their appearance around this time.

Thailand
Ring in Songkran, the Thai New Year, during the world’s largest water fight as the locals take to the streets with water guns and buckets of water in celebration. The act of throwing and sprinkling of water originates from the ritual of cleaning the images of Buddha with blessed water. Soaking others is a sign of respect and hope of good fortune, so join in and get wet!

April marks the end of the dry season in the Maldives. And the warmer weather makes it an ideal time for water sports enthusiasts who will enjoy the calm seas.
