PLACES TO GO IN MARCH
Wildebeest Migration, Ndutu, Tanzania
Southern Serengeti - Tanzania
Season - Summer
Average Temperature for March - 23 Celcius
What to do ?
Seeing the mega herds of the Wildebeest Migration begin to move northwards.
Why go ?
By March, the thousands of babies that ‘dropped' in January and February are strong enough to join their parents on their trans-savannah trek. It is also Green Season in Tanzania, meaning low rates and low visitor numbers but high opportunities for photographers.
When to book ?
If you find you can travel at the last minute, enquire about a Serengeti safari as availability is generally good. Like the Sabi Sands though, the park may fill up with self-drivers and local families if the Easter holidays fall in March rather than April.

The Sabi Sands is one of the most sought-after year-round game-viewing destinations in Africa. Make it your New Year's resolution to book your accommodation on 2 January!
