Zimbabwe in June

June is peak winter and one of the finest months for safari in Zimbabwe. Bone-dry conditions and sparse vegetation make wildlife easy to spot, and Hwange's pumped waterholes draw massive herds of elephants, sometimes over 100 at a time. Nights are cold, dropping to 5 degrees Celsius or lower, but days are sunny, clear, and ideal for game drives.
