Victoria Falls in June

Climate

June is a dry, cool month in Victoria Falls, with night time temperatures dropping to below 10C, although daytimes are mild and temperatures can go up to the mid 20s. You’ll need to bring along warm clothing for night time activities and early morning hikes and game drives.

Highlights of the month

June is one of the busiest months of the year for visiting Victoria Falls. The views of the falls are excellent – the falls are still powerful but don’t have as much spray as earlier in the year, as the water level in the Zambezi has decreased.

As the vegetation starts to thin out in June, the wildlife viewing in the national parks surrounding the falls gets much easier.
