Namibia in March

Africa's best authentic tailor-made safaris

Namibia in March is an out-of-this-world experience! With acres upon acres of red dunes, the desert environments of the country are magnificent to see and create magical settings for photographic safaris. March is the beginning of the end of the wet season, so rain begins to taper off as the month reaches its end. The landscapes have soaked in the rain, so you’ll be able to experience greener landscapes dotted with flowers. Baby animals can be seen during this time of the year, making a green season safari in Namibia an extremely cute experience.

Rainfall is still high during March, with an average of 3.1 inches. However, while on safari during this time of the year, you can still enjoy plenty of clear, hot days. Temperatures during this month can reach over 27°C/81°F, so the rain is often a welcome reprieve.

Namib-Naukluft National Park

As a year-round safari destination in Namibia, the Namib-Naukluft National Park offers stunning desert conditions during the wet season, as it sees very little rain. Don’t forget to bring your camera to capture magnificent landscape shots, especially of the towering dunes. Desert-adapted wildlife to see here include oryxes, springboks, and zebras.

Skeleton Coast National Park

The Skeleton Coast – famous for the eerie shipwrecks that dot the coast – is ideally visited in March, when the rain clears the foggy conditions. Visit the Clay Castles, striking geological formations carved from sedimentary deposits from the river’s flow and wind erosion.
