Tanzania in June

Africa's best authentic tailor-made safaris

June is a shoulder season in Tanzania, marking the start of the dry season. The weather becomes cooler and drier, creating excellent conditions for game viewing. The dry conditions cause animals to gather around remaining water sources, making them easier to find. This month is ideal for comfortable safaris with fewer visitors compared to peak months.

Weather in June

June features mild to cool temperatures, especially in the mornings and evenings, with dry and clear skies dominating. Rainfall is minimal, and humidity drops significantly, providing comfortable conditions for outdoor activities. Daytime temperatures are pleasant, making June a great month for early morning and late afternoon game drives.

Serengeti National Park

In June, the Serengeti’s migration begins moving northwards towards the western corridors and Grumeti River. Predators follow the migrating herds, creating excellent opportunities to witness dramatic river crossings and hunting scenes.

Ngorongoro Crater

Dry conditions make the Ngorongoro Crater an excellent destination for wildlife viewing. Animals concentrate around the crater’s permanent water sources, providing reliable sightings of big cats, buffalo, and rhinos.

Lake Manyara National Park

June offers pleasant weather for exploring Lake Manyara’s rich biodiversity. Elephants and baboons are frequently seen, while birdlife remains abundant around the lake and its forested areas.

Activities to Do in Tanzania During June

  • Great Migration safaris
  • Game drives in Ngorongoro Crater with dry, clear conditions
  • Birdwatching and wildlife spotting in Lake Manyara
  • Early morning hot air balloon rides with cool, clear skies
