Gorongosa National Park

June is one of the best months to visit Gorongosa, as the dry conditions make wildlife more concentrated around waterholes. The park’s diverse ecosystems make it an exciting place to spot elephants, lions, and a variety of bird species.

Bazaruto Archipelago

June offers calm seas and clear skies, making it a great time to visit the Bazaruto Archipelago for diving, snorkelling, and other marine activities. The waters are at their clearest, and marine life is abundant.

Maputo Special Reserve

The Maputo Special Reserve is also great in June, as the dry season ensures wildlife sightings are at their peak. The reserve is less crowded compared to other African safari destinations, offering a more peaceful safari experience.
