March

Some of the January and February options are still open to you, plus this is a good time to watch wildlife in India, and the weather in Lesotho makes this a lovely country to visit at this time.

1. 

   Botswana

   • Zebra migration in Savuti and the Makgadikgadi Pans.
   • The green season is excellent for birding.
   • Some lodges offer great rates.
   • Thousands of flamingos usually arrive in this month.
2. 

   Brazil

   • Rio Carnival is from the Friday before Shrove Tuesday to Ash Wednesday (The date moves each year but is between Feb 3 and March 9).
3. 

   Ecuador

   • Good month to climb Cotopaxi.
4. 

   Galapagos

   • One of the best month’s for diving (clear waters).
   • This is the height of the hot season (max temp about 30°c).
   • Marine Iguanas nest on Fernandina.
5. 

   India

   This is a generally good month for wildlife in India. Here are some ideas.

   • Corbett (elephants and tigers)
   • Kanha and Bandhavgargh (tigers and birds)
   • Nanda Devi
   • Kaziranga ( rhinos)
   • Periyar (elephants, wild dog, bison)
   • Gir (lions)
   • Keoladeo NP (birds)
   • Ranthambore NP (birds)
6. 

   Lesotho

   • Good time for visiting Lesotho (warm, with little rain).
7. 

   Morocco

   • Walks in the Saghro region.
8. 

   Nepal

   • Excellent month for trekking, flowers, and wildlife viewing.
   • One of the best month's for birding due to the cross-over between winter and summer migrants.
9. 

   Peru

   • No Inca trail treks.  This is the wet season, and trekking at this time can cause damage to the trails, and does not allow the trail to recover.
10. 

    Tanzania

    • The herds of the annual migration are in southern Serengeti, so this is a good month to visit, though the rains may begin in late March.
