Zimbabwe in July

Africa's best authentic tailor-made safaris

View Photos

Zimbabwe in July

July is the middle of Zimbabwe’s dry season. The daytime temperatures are warm, but they drop in the evenings.

Wildlife viewing is still at its peak, and Mana Pools National Park is a place you’d want to visit at this time of year. Four of the Big Five exist here, but rhinos are scarce.

With the sun out, there’s more to do than stay indoors or do game drives. Wellness activities like spa treatments and outdoor yoga are also available.

The dry season is a fantastic time to get out and enjoy some amazing photographic and birding safaris! It’s the perfect opportunity to spot both beautiful birds and incredible wildlife all at once.

Weather in July

July sees sunny days, cold nights, and excellent game viewing. It’s a great time of year to travel and offers opportunities for a photographic safari.
