March
Cape Town, South Africa
March in Cape Town is our favourite month! With summer’s crowds fading, you can enjoy the city’s best weather—long, sun-soaked days without such intense heat or gusty winds that characterize earlier months. The beaches are tranquil, perfect for a relaxing day by the ocean, while the cooler, calm conditions are ideal for hiking or exploring the Winelands, where the grape harvest is in full swing. For families looking for a malaria-free safari experience, head to the Eastern Cape’s nature reserves for an unforgettable child focused safari, or up the West coast for a real adventure an Orange River rafting trip on the border with Namibia—March and April are the prime months for this.
Maldives
March offers the Maldives’ signature warm and sunny beach weather. Though showers can occur, they’re typically brief, refreshing bursts that cool the air before the sun returns. The hotter days of the year are approaching, with temperatures slightly on the rise, but still perfect for lounging by the sea. Water visibility remains excellent, ideal for divers and snorkelers to explore the vibrant underwater world. Meanwhile, the wind begins to pick up slightly, signaling the start of the surfing season.

March is a lovely time to explore Lesotho, as the country transitions from its hot summer into a more moderate, pleasant autumn.
