Our Top Picks for Travel in June
Our Top Picks for Travel in June
Bwindi Impenetrable National Park in Uganda and Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda
Season-Winter Average Temperature for June -20 Celsius 66 Fahrenheit
What: Superb gorilla trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park in Uganda and Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda.
Why: Both lie in Africa’s equatorial rainforest belt but in June, Uganda’s rainfall is a fifth of what it was in March while Rwanda’s precipitation is down by 90 percent compared to April. This dry spell makes trekking much easier as there is less heavy-going mud. More sunlight also penetrates the forest canopy, making it lighter for photographers hoping to snap the ultimate gorilla shot.
Grumeti River Tanzania
Season-Winter Average Temperature for June-21 Celsius 70 Fahrenheit
What: Witness thousands of wildebeest crossing the Grumeti River during their annual migration around the Serengeti-Masai Mara ecosystem.
Why: The river crossings are considered one of the most dramatic aspects of the Wildebeest Migration and thousands of safari goers flock to see them. The Grumeti crossings are far more exclusive because they take place in the private Grumeti Reserve. This means far fewer vehicles and people, making for a far more exclusive experience.
Masai Mara National Park Kenya
Season-WinterAverage Temperature for June-19 Celsius-66 Fahrenheit
What: Classic game viewing without the crowds.
Why: The weather is cooler and drierand the animals aren’t venturing too far from water or grazing as winter settles in, making for superb game viewing. The other bonus is that the Wildebeest Migration is generally still in the Grumeti and Serengeti in Tanzania, making Kenya far less crowded. You may not see the Migration but you will see the Masai Mara’s iconic sunsets and rolling savannah.

We take in the spectacle of Lake Nakuru National Park – a great place to spot flamingos. We then cross into Uganda where you can explore Kampala or visit a Chimpanzee sanctuary.
After a visit to the Murchison Falls National Park we’ll head up to Budongo Forest, the biggest Mahogany forest found in East Africa and is home to the largest number of chimpanzees throughout Uganda.

Uganda Tanzania Kenya & Botswana Experiences,Gorilla trekking in Uganda, Wildebeest migration in Kenya, Okavango Delta in Botswana.

This tour endeavours to explore the scenic beauty of Uganda, its people, and its wildlife.
Tanzania & Kenya – Wildebeest migration – East African Migration – the most spectacular wildlife show on earth

Following your arrival into the renowned and spectacular Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe, the tour will take in breathtaking views of Chobe River, Okavango Delta, Makgadikgadi salt pan, game reserves and more!
Hike Kilimanjaro on one of these routes:
Machame Route
The Machame route is one of the most beautiful routes to the top of Mt Kilimanjaro. The climb begins in the lush rainforest and follows a path that offers occasional views of Mt Meru, Shira Ridge as well the main summit of Mt Kilimanjaro – Kibo.
The Machame route contains more steep passages and higher altitudes than the Marangu and the Rongai route and is slightly more demanding.
Marangu Route
The Marangu route is perhaps the easiest and most comfortable route to reach the summit of Mt Kilimanjaro.
The route is well-developed and the climb is constant and moderate. Only the approach to the summit is the exception as it is slightly more demanding.
The accommodation on this tour is in simple mountain huts, which might be an advantage compared to the camping routes..
