Where to travel in March

From taking over your own tented camp or private house on a South African safari – ideal for a group of friends – to exploring Brazil’s vibrant cities and lush rainforests, our Destination Experts can recommend the perfect trip for you this March. 

Kruger National Park, South Africa

South Africa

Embark on the ultimate South African adventure in March, contrasting the raw wilderness of a luxury game reserve with the captivating sights of Cape Town. Spend time with knowledgeable rangers spotting the Big Five on thrilling game drives through expansive savannas and woodlands. 

 

Trade the roar of lions for the bustle of markets and hip cafés in Cape Town, where you can ride the cable car up iconic Table Mountain, explore Robben Island where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned, sample renowned vineyards, stroll the colourful Bo-Kaap district and breathe in ocean air along the lively V&A Waterfront.

Thailand

Thailand‘s beaches, from the dramatic limestone peaks and crystal-clear Andaman waters of Krabi and Phuket to the pristine sands and turquoise seas around Koh Samui, offer some of the world’s most breathtaking coastal scenery.

 

Enjoy relaxing sun-drenched days at a luxury resort, snorkel among vibrant coral reefs, sample delicious local dishes, spot monkeys on a rainforest hike, or, for something cultural, visit the incredible ornate Buddhist temples.

Brazil

Brazil

With the world-famous Rio Carnival taking place in February or early March, there is a sense of fiesta and energy in the air – making this month a brilliant time to enjoy Brazil. And with March’s wonderfully hot weather, this is the perfect time to explore Bahia’s 1,000km stretch of untouched coastline in northeastern Brazil. We recommend staying at the exclusive Txai Resort Itacaré, nestled on the serene Itacarezinho Beach and surrounded by rainforest.

 

For a more laid-back vibe, visit the charming village of Trancoso, known for its expansive beaches, boutiques, and restaurants. Don’t miss Salvador da Bahia, the vibrant capital, where the mix of Portuguese, African, and Brazilian cultures creates one of Brazil’s most dynamic cities.

Kenya

March is an ideal time to visit Kenya, with shorter savannah grasses, wildlife is easier to spot and animals gather around diminishing waterholes. It’s an especially thrilling time in the  Maasai Mara, as predators hunt young plains game, while birdwatching is exceptional in both the Mara and Laikipia.

 

As well as wildlife and endless expanses of stunning landscapes, Kenya offers white beaches that fringe the Indian Ocean – offering exceptional diversity that rewards all travellers. We carefully select owner-run lodges, camps, and homes set in breathtaking locations, providing an authentic, sustainable, and comfortable experience. For those seeking complete privacy, we also know the best private houses for total seclusion.

Turks + Caicos Islands

With sunny but not too humid weather in March, these famously laid-back islands still offer plenty to do. With rich marine life and enchanting accommodations, these remote islands are ideal for couples, families, and groups seeking an escape.

 

We’ll suggest the perfect hideaway for you, whether it’s Amanyara on Providenciales’ north coast or COMO Parrot Cay, a private island offering beach villas and houses with butlers, pools, and direct access to pristine white sands.

kirkjufellsfoss Iceland

Iceland

Escape to a winter wonderland and make some Icelandic memories in March, after a few exhilarating hours dog-sledding out on the expansive icy trails, embark on a guided northern lights excursion – as the breathtaking colours of the aurora borealis start illuminating the horizon, children and adults alike will be mesmerised!

Hajar mountains Oman

Oman

Boasting pleasant, sunny weather at this time of year, travellers can enjoy the remarkable sight of the damask roses in bloom between March and May and there’s much to explore – from rugged peaks and vast deserts to majestic forts and jaw-dropping oases – and we will ensure you make the most out of your time in this amazing Middle Eastern country.

 

We can arrange for you to experience some of the world’s best diving, trek in the Al Hajar Mountain Range, stay in a stunning private camp in the desert, or retreat to an idyllic spot to laze on an empty beach.
