Tanzania offers diverse safari experiences in March, from the iconic northern circuit to the untamed south.
Northern Tanzania
Serengeti National Park (Southern, Central & Ndutu)
March in Serengeti is a quieter part of the green season. Herds gather around waterholes, predators are active, and plains are lush.
Highlights:
Calm plains with minimal safari traffic
Great predator activity—lions, cheetahs, and leopards
Stunning photography conditions with soft, green landscapes
Ngorongoro Conservation Area
The crater slopes are rich with grazing animals, providing reliable Big Five sightings. Seasonal rivers enhance the scenic beauty, while the crater walls offer dramatic photographic opportunities.
Tarangire National Park
Tarangire’s riverine forests shine in March. Elephants roam lush plains, birdlife flourishes, and quiet landscapes allow for reflective, immersive game drives .
Southern Tanzania
Ruaha National Park
Ruaha is expansive and largely untouched in March, offering raw wilderness and dramatic landscapes . Predator sightings remain high, and ancient baobab forests provide iconic scenery.
Nyerere National Park (Selous)
Rivers are full, and walking and boat safaris become exceptional experiences. Wildlife spreads naturally, giving guests a feeling of true wilderness immersion .
Mikumi National Park
Mikumi’s open plains and reliable wildlife viewing make it ideal for shorter southern extensions or combined southern safaris.
