The sun is out in July, and the dry season brings more noticeable wildlife to many parks.
The Serengeti and Ruaha National Park are common regions of interest, as the season brings an exciting array of wildlife.
Four of the Big Five are present in parks like the Serengeti, but the rhino is absent. However, other prominent wild animals include wild dogs, and they are a sight to behold when they have their puppies—commonly referred to as denning.
Weather in July
The weather is much improved in July, and although the days are sunny and dry, morning and evening drives can be chilly, so it is advised to keep a jacket around and dress warmly during these times of the day.
This month, most parks are drier as animals trample and feast on the grass, which means wildlife is much easier to spot and often significantly denser.
