Top African Destinations to Visit in June

Our Top Picks for June

Whether you’re tracking the Great Wildebeest Migration, searching for the Big 5 in Kruger, or planning a romantic Seychelles honeymoon, choosing the right time makes all the difference. Our recommendations are shaped by deep, on-the-ground knowledge of Africa’s seasonal travel patterns.

Bwindi & Volcanoes National Park – Uganda & Rwanda

Season | Winter | Average Temperature for June | 20°C | 66°F

What

Experience unforgettable gorilla trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park in Uganda and Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda.

Why Visit

Located in Africa’s equatorial rainforest belt, these parks see significantly reduced rainfall in June—Uganda’s down to a fifth of March levels and Rwanda’s 90% less than April. This dry period makes trekking easier, less muddy, and offers more sunlight through the forest canopy, perfect for photography.

When to Book

June is peak gorilla trekking season, with limited permits and lodge availability. Book up to a year in advance to secure your trek and have ample time to prepare physically.
