March marks the beginning of the long rainy season in Tanzania, signalling the start of the low season. Although afternoon rains become more frequent, mornings often remain clear and pleasant. The rains transform the landscape into a vibrant green, attracting migratory birds and encouraging lush vegetation growth. Safari crowds are fewer, ideal for travellers seeking tranquillity.

Weather in Tanzania in March

Tanzania’s weather in March brings increased rainfall and humidity as the wet season intensifies. Rainfall mostly occurs as afternoon or evening thunderstorms, while mornings are typically clear and cool.

Serengeti National Park

Despite some challenging road conditions due to rains, the Serengeti remains alive with wildlife activity in March. Predators remain active hunting newborn herbivores, and the arrival of migratory birds enhances birdwatching experiences. The verdant landscape is perfect for photographers.

Ruaha National Park

Ruaha receives good rainfall in March, revitalising its waterholes and attracting large numbers of wildlife. The park is quieter during this time, offering a peaceful safari experience across diverse landscapes ranging from riverine forests to open plains.
