Excellent sweet spot month. Weather remains beautiful, crowds thin out, and prices drop while wildlife viewing stays exceptional.
Weather
Spring begins with warming temperatures and the first hints of humidity returning. Still largely dry but you might catch an occasional afternoon shower. Pleasant weather overall with comfortable mornings.
