Kruger National Park in March
Good time to visit
Transition month with unpredictable weather. Still hot but crowds thin out after Easter, making it decent for budget travelers who don't mind sweating.
Weather
Temperatures start dropping slightly but it's still uncomfortably hot and humid. Rain becomes less predictable - you might get a week of storms followed by clear skies. March feels like summer refusing to end.
