June marks the start of the dry season, making it an excellent time for safaris in Kenya, Tanzania, Zambia, Zimbabwe, and Botswana. Wildlife gathers around water sources, creating prime game-viewing opportunities. The Great Migration moves across the Serengeti, while Botswana’s Okavango Delta is at its peak flood, perfect for mokoro safaris. With cool mornings and warm afternoons, this month offers clear skies, fewer mosquitoes, and ideal conditions for outdoor activities.
The lower humidity and minimal rainfall ensure comfortable travel and great photography. While Zambia and Zimbabwe experience cooler nights, Kenya and Tanzania maintain milder temperatures. Victoria Falls’ water levels start dropping, revealing more of the canyon. With fewer crowds before peak season, visitors enjoy exclusive safari experiences in the region’s top parks.
