March in Tanzania is generally warm and dry, with average temperatures ranging from 20 to 30 degrees Celsius. It is the tail end of the rainy season, so there is a slight chance of rain, but it is unlikely to be significant. The UV index is high, so it is important to take precautions to protect yourself from the sun. So we are suggesting you pack accordingly.
*Travel eSims are a great way to stay connected while travelling. They are easy to set up online, no need to visit a store, and can be used in multiple countries. They are a data saver compared to international roaming and are compatible with most phones.
