Tanzania in July

Africa's best authentic tailor-made safaris

July is a fantastic time to explore the outdoors! With the sun shining brightly and the dry season in full swing, many parks come alive with fascinating wildlife. The Serengeti and Ruaha National Park are especially popular spots, as visitors can see an exciting mix of animals.

While you won’t spot the rhino in these parks, you can still enjoy the presence of four of the Big Five! And let’s not forget about the adorable wild dogs—watching them with their puppies, often called denning, is truly a magical experience. So grab your binoculars and get ready for some amazing wildlife encounters! This time of year is perfect for spotting wildlife, so be sure to take advantage of this great opportunity!

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.

National Parks to Visit in Tanzania and Why

Lake Manyara National Park

Wildlife viewing is at its best this month. You can expect to see wildebeests, giraffes, hippos, buffalos, and elephants, not forgetting the legendary tree-climbing lions. Game drives are, therefore, a packed experience.

Serengeti National Park

The sun is out in Serengeti National Park, and the wildebeest migration is best seen during this month. Wildlife, on the other hand, thrives in the park, as they’re easily spotted during this time of year.

Tarangire National Park

This month is considered the best for wildlife viewing at the Tarangire National Park. The weather is great, and animals have begun to migrate to the park. Four of the Big Five can be found here, with just the rhino absent.

Activities to do in July

  • Game drives
  • Birding
