In March, the average temperature in Tsavo East National Park ranges from a high of 35°C to a low of 22°C. The weather is usually hot and humid. March is a good time to visit the park, but you should be prepared for the warm conditions.
What you pack for your safari will depend on the type of trip you are taking and the activities you plan to do. Since the park is in the equatorial region, weather patterns vary depending on the time of year. It is best to carry light and loose-fitting clothes to stay cool.
If the temperature drops, you can wear extra layers and remove them when it gets warmer. Pack lightly because in most cases you will carry your own luggage. Use a bag with straps to make it easier for you or anyone helping you to carry it. Also, have a smaller day bag for game drives and excursions to hold water, snacks, and other essentials you might need in the field.
When it comes to dressing, it is important to respect the cultural values of the local people. This does not mean you have to cover from head to toe, but it is better to dress modestly.
