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.
