Mozambique in March

Africa's best authentic tailor-made safaris

March is still part of the low season, but it marks the tail end of the rainy period, offering a unique opportunity to witness the country in a quieter and more peaceful state. The rains begin to subside, but the country is still lush, providing excellent photographic opportunities.

The rains gradually decrease, but the humidity remains high. Expect occasional showers and temperatures that are often hot, but the rain provides a welcome cooling effect. Light clothing and a rain jacket are still recommended for the occasional showers.

National Parks to Visit in Mozambique During March

Gorongosa National Park

With the rains still present, Gorongosa is incredibly lush, and the wetlands are teeming with life. While wildlife is more spread out, March is an excellent time for those looking for quieter, less busy safari experiences, especially birdwatching.

Bazaruto Archipelago

This is a fantastic time to explore the Bazaruto Archipelago’s underwater life, as visibility is still good for diving and snorkelling. The beaches remain beautiful, and the archipelago sees fewer tourists compared to the peak season.

Niassa Reserve

March is part of the quieter period in Niassa Reserve, making it ideal for visitors who prefer seclusion and untouched landscapes. The reserve is rich with biodiversity, and the rainy season brings fresh life to this remote destination. This is prime time for birding and seeing baby animals.

Activities to Do in Mozambique During March

  • Birdwatching safaris
  • Snorkelling and diving in Bazaruto
  • Relaxing on less crowded beaches
  • Photography safaris with lush landscapes
