Humidity is around 75%, which creates a warm but comfortable atmosphere.
During this dry season, many animals gather around water sources like the Nile River. This makes it easier for tourists to see wildlife such as elephants, buffaloes, giraffes, hippos, lions, and leopards.
Game drives in July are especially rewarding because the dry weather improves visibility, making it easier to spot animals.
Birdwatching is also a popular activity during this time. Tourists can see both native and migratory birds, including the grey crowned crane, Denham’s bustard, and the standard-winged nightjar.
Hot air balloon safaris are another exciting experience in July. These give tourists a chance to see the park and its wildlife from above, offering a new and unique view.
