Where to travel in July

July is an excellent month for adventure and exploration. In Uganda, the lush landscapes are at their peak, making it perfect for gorilla trekking and wildlife safaris. Vietnam offers warm, sunny weather in the north, ideal for cruising Ha Long Bay or exploring Hanoi’s vibrant streets. Meanwhile, the Himalayas provide stunning trekking opportunities, with clearer skies and cooler temperatures at higher altitudes.

Greenland

Boasting warm weather, July is the perfect month to visit Disko Bay and Ilulissat’s ice fjord, as well as spot large populations of whales off the coast in their summer feeding grounds.

 

We can arrange for you to set sail on an exciting boat trip around Svalbard, a Norwegian archipelago between mainland Norway and the North Pole. It is a wildlife mecca and a fantastic place to spot polar bears, walruses, and whales.

Great Migration

Kenya

As conditions become drier, Kenya stays green and full of life in July. Visit now and you might catch a glimpse of the beginning of the Great Migration in the Maasai Mara. Witness millions of wildebeests, zebras, and gazelles as they make their dramatic journey from the Serengeti and cross the Mara River.

 

Even though July is a peak safari season, it’s still not as crowded as August and you’ll get to experience Kenya’s top attractions without overwhelming crowds.

Uganda

Experience the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get up close with endangered mountain gorillas in their natural habitat. As the weather is cooler and drier in July, treks become more comfortable making this month one of the best months for gorilla trekking.

 

It also offers ideal conditions for wildlife safaris. Visit Queen Elizabeth National Park or Murchison Falls to see abundant wildlife, including elephants, lions, and hippos, as animals gather around waterholes and are easier to spot.

July is also great for cultural activities too with vibrant festivals, parades, and traditional performances showcasing the country’s history and heritage.
