March marks a unique and peaceful time to explore Tanzania — a season when the landscapes turn lush, wildlife thrives in vibrant surroundings, and safari parks are refreshingly uncrowded. For travelers who love authentic nature experiences and value tranquility over crowds, a Tanzania safari in March offers unmatched charm and photographic beauty.
At Nurtured Wildlife Safaris, we combine local expertise, comfort, and conservation passion to create tailor-made safari adventures that immerse you in Tanzania’s wild beauty — even during its quieter, greener months.
March sits at the transition point between Tanzania’s short dry season and the long rains. The first two weeks are typically warm and pleasant, while later in the month, occasional showers become more frequent — usually in the late afternoon or evening.
Average daytime temperatures range between 26°C and 31°C (79°F – 88°F). The rains bring out brilliant colors — emerald grasslands, wildflowers in bloom, and clear skies after each drizzle, perfect for photographers and nature lovers.
Northern Circuit (Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire, Lake Manyara): Expect a mix of sunshine and refreshing showers, creating lush, green views.
Southern & Western Tanzania (Ruaha, Nyerere, Katavi): More rainfall, ideal for seasoned travelers seeking solitude and wilderness.
Coastal regions (Zanzibar, Pemba): Warm and humid, with occasional rain — still great for a peaceful beach stay.
✅ Peaceful and Less Crowded: March is considered the start of the low season, meaning fewer vehicles and a more private safari experience.
✅ Lush, Green Landscapes: The scenery is vibrant and full of life — ideal for photography.
✅ Affordable Travel: Many lodges and camps offer discounted rates without compromising quality.
✅ Baby Animals and Predator Action: Calving continues in early March, providing exciting predator-prey interactions.
✅ Great Birdwatching: Over 1,000 species can be spotted across Tanzania during this time.
Rain Preparation: Bring a light rain jacket, waterproof shoes, and quick-dry clothing.
Camera Protection: Keep camera gear in weather-resistant bags to protect against occasional drizzles.
Road Access: Some remote parks may be harder to reach; plan your itinerary with local experts.
Health & Comfort: Carry mosquito repellent and stay hydrated, as humidity levels can rise.
