JULY
"I love July In Southern Africa, the dry, cool conditions make for perfect days in the bush — clear skies, crisp mornings and long, golden afternoons. The vegetation is low enough to spot animals with ease and the roads are dry and accessible. Whether you are drawn to the great parks of Kenya and Tanzania, the waterways of Botswana's Okavango Delta at its most magical, or the remote wilderness of Zambia and Zimbabwe, July delivers Africa at its most alive and most dramatic"
WHERE TO GO IN JULY
Zimbabwe
July is Hwange at its most spectacular. The dry season is in full swing, the waterholes are the heartbeat of the park and the elephants, gathering in herds of extraordinary size, dominate the landscape with a quiet, ancient authority. Lion, wild dog and sable antelope are all highly active at this time of year, and the cool, crisp July mornings make for game drives that are nothing short of exhilarating. One of Africa’s great safari experiences and one of Zimbabwe’s finest months.
WHERE TO GO IN JULY
Namibia
July is a wonderful month to explore Namibia in all its extraordinary diversity. The dry season has firmly taken hold, the skies are vast and cloudless and the landscapes, from the towering red dunes of Sossusvlei to the wildlife-rich plains of Etosha and the haunting, mist-wrapped Skeleton Coast, are at their most dramatic and photogenic. Game viewing is excellent, the days are warm and the nights cool and clear, and the sense of space and solitude that defines this remarkable country feels more powerful than ever. Namibia in July is Africa at its most elemental.
