Botswana Safari in June

Africa's best tailor-made safaris

Our safari experts recommend June, the final month of the shoulder season, for a Botswana safari. During this month, the weather is not too hot and not too cold, with fantastic lighting for photography. More importantly, as water sources become few and far between, animals begin to congregate in larger numbers. Less rain means shorter grass, making game viewing much easier. Some lodges will already have their high season prices, but it’s still possible to find some excellent specials.

Weather in June

The sun is out, and there is very little chance of rain in June. This month is well and truly the beginning of the dry season and is the perfect time for a safari.

Max 25℃77℉0.2 inches

National Parks to Visit in Botswana During June

Chobe National Park

Although Chobe National Park can be visited throughout the year, May to October is excellent for game viewing, especially around waterfronts. The weather during this time is dry, forcing animals to gather around the main rivers and waterholes.

Okavango Delta

The dry season in Botswana is the ideal time of the year for mokoro safaris. This excursion will take you through the waterways of the vast delta (which become full in the dry season) to gain a different perspective of the wildlife that gathers here.

Linyanti Reserve

The reserve houses four of the Big Five, with just rhinos being absent. Wild dogs and lions are regularly seen here. Linyanti Reserve offers off-roading, which facilitates quality game sightings. During June (thanks to the thinner vegetation and fewer water sources), you will find the best game-viewing.

Activities to Do in Botswana During June

  • Game drives
  • Walking safaris
  • Mokoro safaris
  • Horseback riding safaris
  • Desert safaris
