Nyungwe National Park in July – Have you ever gazed at the brown vegetation? Nyungwe National Park is the perfect destination for this incredible experience.
During this time, the vegetation begins to dry out, turning from green to brown due to the intense sunshine and little or no rain.
The terrain becomes clearer, providing an eagle’s eye view to spot even the shy wild species that are not easily seen. Helicopter flights can offer a unique perspective on the park’s changing landscape in July.
You may find some at the shores drinking water, and since they gather in large numbers, it provides lions in a pride the opportunity to feast on big prey.
These species are said to sleep for twenty hours, often lying in tall grasses or on trees, waking at night to hunt—they are the most feared species in the jungle.
Make sure to follow the trails assigned by your tour guide to avoid cases of attacks and accidents.
First aid kits are essential in case of any emergencies, and you should know how to use the equipment within them.
Some of these include:
- Spirit: Used to clean wounds. Pour it on a piece of cotton wool and clean the infected area.
- Pain relief medications: Used to reduce pain (painkillers). These may contain antihistamines, which are primarily used for allergies.
- Burn cream: Applied to burned areas to prevent infections and aid in healing.
- Medical tape: Used to dress wounds after cleaning.
- Scissors: Used to cut bandages and clothing.
July is characterized by mild temperatures and low humidity. You’ll need to pack earthy clothes that will help you cope with the heat and dust in rural areas.
Insects like bright colors, so to avoid getting sick on your trip, pack insect repellent. July also makes activities like nature walks much more comfortable, as the land is dry and not muddy, allowing for easy access.
Take a step further and head to the birdwatching area, where you’ll find species of different colors showcasing their breeding methods.
With careful observation, you’ll notice that birds either fly in groups or pairs (male and female), singing melodious songs that captivate bird lovers, inspiring them to start recording.
Before setting off to your tourism destination, your tour guide will take you through the rules and regulations, one of which is to maintain silence, as birds are very sensitive to noise.
