The average temperature during this month ranges from a high of 20°C to a low of 10°C. The weather is usually cool and sometimes humid. There is also a good chance of rain.

What you pack for your safari in July will depend on the type of activities you plan to do. The park is in the equatorial region, and weather conditions can change depending on the time of year. It is best to carry light, loose clothes. You can wear layers so that if it gets warmer during the day, you can remove some.
Try to pack lightly because in most cases, you will carry your own luggage. A backpack with straps is helpful and easy to carry. Also, bring a smaller bag for use during game drives and outdoor activities. You can use it to carry water and other small items you will need during the day.
When it comes to dressing, try to be respectful of local culture. You don’t need to be fully covered from head to toe, but it is better to wear clothes that go below the knee.
