Temperatures in July are quite consistent with those experienced in June, generally varying from 19°C (66.2°F) to 27°C (80.6°F). These warm, stable conditions, along with the decreased likelihood of rain, contribute to a favourable climate for tourism, particularly for activities such as wildlife safaris and hiking.
