Namibia in June

Africa's best authentic tailor-made safaris

Namibia in June

June brings with it hot weather and exceptional experiences.

The country is one of the most underrated safari destinations, but its wildlife and landscapes rival many other regions.

As June is a superb opportunity to spend time on the beach, Skeleton Coast is a location you want to have on your list! It gets its name from the countless shipwrecks on its coast, a testament to Namibia’s dangerous waters.

While not suitable for swimming, it’s a stunning, isolated location where you can see unique wildlife, such as the Cape fur seal and seabirds.

From horseback riding, hot air ballooning, and photographic safaris, a holiday in Namibia is undoubtedly one of the books.

Weather in June

While June has plenty of sunny days and clear skies, temperatures at dusk and dawn can drop. Warm clothes will be handy for evening and morning game drives.

A warm cap and gloves are also excellent additions to pack.

Average Weather in June

Places to Visit in Namibia and Why

Etosha National Park

With the dry season occurring in June, wildlife viewing in Etosha National Park is at its peak. Many waterholes have dried up, and wildlife is now sticking around the few remaining drinking spots.

The Big Five call the park home, and other animals include giraffes, zebras, oryx, and hyenas. Keep a list of animals you see on your drives, as spotting them all in one day isn’t unusual.

Damaraland

Despite its harsh desert conditions, Damaraland is home to fascinating wildlife, such as desert-adapted elephants, black rhinos, and oryx.

In this dry month, the Brandberg, Namibia’s highest mountain, is a prominent attraction as the weather tends to be cooler.

You can visit ancient rock art sites and local villages to learn about the culture.

NamibRand Nature Reserve

June is one of the best times to visit the NamibRand Nature Reserve for an enhanced wildlife experience. Brown hyenas, spotted hyenas, and leopards can be seen there.

The reserve also houses large mammals like giraffes, the Hartmann’s mountain zebra, kudu, and springboks.

Activities to do in June

  • Cultural and tribal experiences
  • Photographic safaris
  • Game drives
