Zambia in March

Africa's best authentic tailor-made safaris

The wet season continues in March, but this is the best time of year for birding, as migratory birds are abundant.

Newborn animals are commonly seen now, and the scenery is often green and lush, which makes it a perfect time for a photographic safari.

Visit Kafue National Park this month. Although it is in the wet season, there are always things to do.

Yoga classes and spa treatments can be activities to fill some of the time on your holiday.

Regarding birding, there are plenty of birds to see here, including the African finfoot, African fish eagle, rosy-throated longclaw, schalow’s turaco, and wattled crane.

Weather in March

The rains give way to gorgeous lush green scenery and a fantastic opportunity for a photographic safari. The transformation of the landscape during this season is often breathtaking.

Great moments can be captured in the wet season since migratory birds are common in the park.

The temperatures slightly increased this month, with a high of at least 28 degrees Celsius.

May is generally exceptional for birding as migratory birds are present at this time of year.

The scenery is often fresh and green, and with thicker vegetation, it is often harder to spot wildlife as water sources are abundant.
