Quick answer
March can still feel warm in Addo while rain remains an important planning consideration. The best approach is sun protection, a compact rain layer and a balanced safari schedule.
This is evergreen seasonal guidance, not a weather forecast. Check the live forecast, your activity provider's advice and official park information before you travel.

A balanced March safari plan
The official Addo Section climate profile identifies February to March as one of its rainfall peaks. Treat that context as a packing prompt, rather than as a prediction for every safari drive. [1]
Leave space in the day for early outdoor activity, unplanned photography stops and a slower break if conditions turn warm or wet. Exact weather changes with place and time across the Addo landscape.
A stay at Longhill

Longhill Reserve is a peaceful base for a March Addo itinerary. An overnight or multi-night stay gives you room to enjoy an early reserve experience, explore the wider area and return to a private bushveld setting when you want to pause. [2]
