Dreaming of a Kenyan adventure? March is a fantastic time to visit, offering a sweet spot between the rainy seasons. The weather is generally warm and dry, making it ideal for game drives and exploring the stunning landscapes. But what should you pack for your March safari? Don't worry, we've got you covered!
Clothing is key to a comfortable safari experience. Layers are your friend! Mornings and evenings can be cool, so pack a light fleece or jacket. During the day, lightweight, breathable clothing is essential. Think neutral colours like khaki, beige, or olive green – these blend in with the environment and don't attract unwanted attention from wildlife. A good pair of walking shoes is a must, as is a wide-brimmed hat to protect you from the sun. For those early morning game drives, long-sleeved shirts and trousers will also keep the bugs at bay. Check out our range of safari-ready clothing at www.tagsafari.co.uk, perfect for your Kenyan adventure. We recommend our durable safari trousers and comfortable t-shirts for the day, and a lightweight fleece for cooler evenings.
March falls within the "short dry season" in Kenya. This means the bush is still lush and green after the short rains, making for beautiful scenery and excellent game viewing. Some top safari destinations to consider in March include the iconic Masai Mara, where you might still catch the tail end of the wildebeest migration. Amboseli National Park, with its breathtaking views of Mount Kilimanjaro and large elephant herds, is another excellent choice. For a more off-the-beaten-track experience, consider exploring the Tsavo East and West National Parks, known for their diverse landscapes and abundant wildlife.
Remember, a safari is more than just game drives. Take the time to immerse yourself in the local culture, learn about the environment, and appreciate the incredible beauty of Kenya. With the right preparation, your March safari will be an unforgettable experience. So, pack your bags (and your safari gear from www.tagsafari.co.uk!), and get ready for the adventure of a lifetime!
