Zambia in March

Africa's best authentic tailor-made safaris

Zambia in March

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.

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.
