Botswana Safari in March

Africa's best tailor-made safaris

The perks of travelling at this time of the year include seeing the zebra migration and elephants scooping up the fallen fruits in the Okavango Delta.

Zebra sightings mean good lion sightings on your safari tour as well. Zebras and elephants, among the many animals that are around, stick to water sources to drink, which means that predators are around, too.

This will give you a great view of predator and prey interactions in the wild.

Weather in March

The rain decreases in March, and the weather is humid and warm. Thunderstorms occur occasionally, primarily sticking to the afternoons. However, these summer rains may cause some lodges to close, as areas do become muddy.

National Parks to Visit in Botswana and Why

Central Kalahari Game Reserve

March gives way to stunning desert scenery and the opportunity to see black-maned lions. Although humid, this season lets you see well-fed predators roaming the grounds.

Generally, July to October is the peak season, but the Central Kalahari Game Reserve doesn’t get crowded even then.

Makgadikgadi Pans National Park

March is an excellent time to see birds such as flamingos at Makgadikgadi Pans. Even though it’s still the wet season, game sightings are possible.

Chobe National Park

March is an excellent time to visit Chobe National Park. The park is unique because it has two notable areas: the Chobe Riverfront and the Savuti.

Birdwatchers will love seeing the spectacular bird migrations that happen here.

Activities to do in March

  • Birding
  • Game drives
