Kenya safaris in July
July is one of the golden months for a Kenyan safari where the landscape is at its most dramatic and wildlife viewing is oftenly easier and intense because of the sun baked expanse of Savannah making animals gather around water sources .
Undoubtedly the great migration is the crown encounter on a Kenyan safari during the month of July where over one million animals such as wildebeest, gazelles and zebras from Tanzania ‘s serengeti head to Kenya ‘s masai Mara in search of fresh grasses for grazing . The most important aspect about this migration is the crossing of mara River by the animals and here raw sounds of survival are heard as some are hindered by predators especially the crocodiles. This is a wonderful experience creating memories for tourists .
Beyond that , game drives are also very fascinating activities revealing the rare creatures in the wilderness of Kenya . Tourists will engage in game drives in Amboseli , Samburu and Tsavo East and West National parks . The dry season is the best for game drives because animals gather near water sources . Some of the animals that will be spotted are elephants, lions , leopards, zebras , buffaloes , antelopes , giraffes among others .
For bird watchers the month of July is a perfect time for exploring these wonderful creatures. Lake Nakuru is a birdwatchers paradise habiting bird species like flamingoes , pelicans , kingfishers , fish eagles among others .
Lake Naivasha is a hidden treasure as well offering boat safaris where tourists will spot various wildlife like hippos , and buffaloes , giraffes and colobus monkeys in the forests around the shores .
A kenya safari in July is not only about Wildlife but also a journey to dive into the culture of kenya in the indigenous communities. Tourists will visit villages like Masai and Sumburu and share stories , learn dances and traditions that have existed for centuries. These encounters add depth to the safari reminding us about the bond between people and nature .
Kenya ‘s commitment to conservation ensures that each safari contributes to protecting its incredible wildlife. Many measures are in place to protect wildlife like community run conservancies , anti poaching efforts and sustainable tourism practices.
In conclusion , a kenya safari in July is more than a journey but an immersion into a land where nature reigns supreme .
