Ethiopians will be celebrating Fasika (Easter) after 55 days of fasting this April. Many of Ethiopia’s religious festivals offer a wonderful excuse to visit this fascinating country. Egyptians will be out on the streets in numbers “Sniffing the Breeze” as they celebrate spring. South Africans will be packing up their swimsuits soon as they’re headed for the autumn/fall. But not before grooving away to some of South Africa’s finest music festivals held at various venues next month including Cape Town’s famous Jazz Festival. And spare a thought for the marathon runners who will still be tackling Morocco’s Sahara with backpacks and tired legs. The finish line should be in sight on April 6.

April brings spring to northern Africa and fall to South Africa. A form of Easter is celebrated by Coptic Christians in Ethiopia and Egypt; the Ethiopians will break a 55 day fast on Easter Monday. Runners have their pick of interesting marathons in the Sahara Desert and the African bush.

Here some africa’s festival in April:

Egyptians celebrate Sham el Nessim by taking their families on picnics, and enjoying public parks and other green spaces. Salted fish, colored boiled eggs and green onions are the traditional foods eaten on this day. It is commonly believed that Egyptians have been celebrating this holiday for over 4000 years.
