If you want a variety of activities while on safari, head to Selous and Ruaha in August which offer combinations of walking and boating safaris as well as day and night game drives. These parks still remain relatively quiet even though they have so much to offer. The pleasant temperatures only help to enhance your experience and mean you can make the most of your days.

Zanzibar is the picturesque idyllic coastal destination at this time with bright blue skies and warm white sands. You can enjoy snorkelling and sunbathing followed by a sumptuous meal of fresh seafood while watching a traditional African sunset. 

As this is still a very popular time to visit it will be important to book your trip and accommodation well in advance to avoid disappointment.
