Botswana Safari in June

Africa's best tailor-made safaris

Botswana Safari in June

June is a popular month for a safari, and the season tends to pick up very quickly, which means camp availability becomes scarce and rates are up. Your Botswana safari will be exceptional, as sunny weather directly impacts game viewing.

Since June is a sunny month, your game-viewing opportunities are perfect.

Weather in June

The sun is out, and there is very little chance of rain in June. The weather contrasts with South Africa, where rain is highly prevalent. Temperatures begin to rise, and they are much better than in April.

This month is called the dry season and is the perfect time for a safari.

Average Weather in June

Temperature Celsius Fahrenheit Rainfall
Min 6℃43℉0.3mm
Max 25℃77℉4.4mm

Pro

  • Abundant wildlife – warmer weather forces wildlife to be around water sources

Con

  • Low camp availability – warm weather means parks become fuller

National Parks to Visit in Botswana and Why

Selinda Game Reserve

As the dry season progresses, wildlife becomes more available. Wildlife is generally most prominent in December, but June is suitable for birders and an excellent opportunity to see beautiful green landscapes and flowers on a safari in Selinda.

What to do:

  • Game drives
  • Boat trips
  • Canoeing
  • Walking safaris

Makgadikgadi Pans National Park

Best suited in the dry season, the Makgadikgadi Pans is an excellent location for a safari. The wildlife is exceptional during June, and the best part is that it’s low season, so lower rates may apply.

What to do:

  • Game drives – see animal migrations

Linyanti Reserve

The reserve houses four of the Big Five, with just rhinos being absent. Wild dogs, lions, and cheetahs are regularly seen here. Linyanti Reserve offers off-roading, which facilitates quality game sightings.

During June, you will find the best game-viewing, and you’re in luck when visiting at this time of year as peak season hasn’t kicked in yet and lower rates may still apply.

What to do:

  • Game drives
  • Walking safaris
