Lake Nakuru in March, Weather and What to Pack – The average temperature in Lake Nakuru National Park in March is usually between 25°C during the day and 11°C at night. The weather is often mildly cool with a gentle breeze. March is a good time to visit the park. There is a small chance of rain, so it’s a good idea to dress lightly and carry an umbrella just in case.
What you need to pack for your safari in March depends on the type of safari and the activities you plan to do. Since Lake Nakuru is in the equatorial region, the weather can change depending on the time of year. It is best to pack light and loose clothes.
Pack only what you need, because you might have to carry your own bags. A bag with straps will be easier to carry. Also, bring a small day bag to use during game drives and excursions. This smaller bag will hold water and any other items you might need while out in the field.
Try to dress modestly, with clothes that go below the knee if possible. This is not a rule, but it’s good to be respectful. Loose clothes will also help you stay cool and allow your body to breathe. Long sleeves and trousers are helpful for protecting your skin from the sun and insect bites.
