Madagascar in April

The Season Reopens

April marks the true reopening of the Madagascar travel season. The rains have stopped, the dust has settled, and the parks are fully accessible. It is a brilliant, comfortable month to visit before the peak winter crowds arrive.

What works well

  • Almost Everywhere: The RN7, the North, and the East are in prime condition with comfortable temperatures.
  • West Coast: Morondava and the Avenue of the Baobabs open up reliably by mid-to-late April.
  • Wildlife: The first baby lemurs of the year begin to appear, clinging to their mothers.

What can be difficult

  • Early April: Might still see some muddy patches in the deep west, but conditions improve rapidly week by week.

Usually not recommended

  • Tsingy de Bemaraha: Can be risky in the first week of April, but usually opens fully and safely by mid-month.
