Our Favourite Destinations to travel to in July

Tanzania

July sits at the very heart of the Great Migration. Its dramatic centrepiece? The mighty Mara River crossing, where thousands of wildebeest and zebra make their perilous passage. The weather is clear and beautiful, the Serengeti alive with movement and energy. This is one of Africa’s greatest natural spectacles — and the perfect time to experience Tanzania at its most unforgettable. We recommend booking early to secure the most sought-after lodges along the river.

Rwanda

July sits at the very heart of Rwanda’s gorilla-trekking season, making it an unforgettable time to visit. Volcanoes National Park is the place to be for once-in-a-lifetime encounters with mountain gorillas, but the adventure doesn’t stop there. Akagera National Park offers a different side of Rwanda, with savannah landscapes, big game, and birdlife in abundance. From misty mountains to sweeping plains, July reveals Rwanda at its most vibrant and diverse.

Indonesia

Cut off from the rest of the world for some time, this is the perfect moment to welcome Indonesia — and its thousands of enchanting islands — back. Exotic, far-flung, and, come summer, beautifully warm and dry. July is ideal for an immersive journey through Bali, the Komodo Islands, and Sumba, where cultural encounters, pristine beaches, and wild landscapes combine into one unforgettable adventure.

Ireland

For centuries, the Emerald Isle has been wrapped in myth and legend, its Atlantic tides sweeping in to reveal the new and untold before rolling back to leave you with secret discoveries. In July, Ireland comes alive with long days, soft light, and landscapes that beg to be explored. It’s the perfect destination for a family trip filled with adventure and intrigue, where the outdoors becomes a classroom for curious minds and every path leads to a story.
