In July, embark on an extraordinary excursion with African safaris, where the dry season reveals its majestic appeal, providing unparalleled game-viewing experiences. During this prime season, the entire expanse of ‘Safari Africa’ comes to life, offering a plethora of options for travelers who are interested in experiencing the finest of African wildlife.
Peak Season Extravaganza: The dry season commences in full force in July, converting every national park in a variety of countries into a spectacle of natural marvels. The difficulty is in determining the optimal destination for the most exceptional animal encounters, as nearly every park experiences its optimum season. July offers exceptional safari adventures, whether you are considering an exhilarating Gorilla trekking experience in Rwanda or indulging in the serene beauty of Mozambique’s Indian Ocean.
Unique Appeal of Namibia: In Namibia, July is the high season, not only because of the traditional holidays but also because of the mild climate, which prevents the scorching heat that occurs later in the year. Etosha National Park, in particular, offers a distinctive spectacle as rainfall evaporates from vast basins, causing wildlife to migrate to permanent water sources, thereby guaranteeing exceptional game-viewing opportunities.
The desert-adapted game species navigate well-known routes to accessible water sources, presenting a distinctive perspective of Namibia’s diverse landscapes, as the profusion of resources dwindles as they venture away from Etosha into the Hoanib and Huab River valleys.
Gorilla Trekking in Uganda and Rwanda: July is the peak of the arid season, which makes it one of the most popular periods for gorilla trekking in Uganda and Rwanda. The optimal conditions for monitoring Mountain Gorillas are characterized by minimal rainfall. Nevertheless, the weather patterns in the vicinity of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Mgahinga Gorilla National Park, and Volcanoes National Park are unpredictable, which makes it difficult to predict precipitation. Early reservations are essential, particularly for the purpose of obtaining Gorilla permits, due to the peak status of July in Uganda and Rwanda.
