The wildebeest migration remains constant in June, and the weather hasn’t improved entirely. Although rain is expected this month, it only occurs now and then. Parks are expected to be green, and the grass still tends to be quite tall, making game viewing difficult.

However, if you stick around long enough, you can spot smaller wildlife and potentially big game life on your Tanzania safari. You can expect clear, dry, and cloudy weather with some rain during this time.

Parks you can visit for a safari include Tarangire National Park, where elephants occur in significant concentrations, and the Serengeti National Park, where wildlife can be seen all year round.

Weather in June

The weather begins to pick up in June, and this generally means a better chance of seeing wildlife. June sees a mix of clear and cloudy skies, with rain occurring during some parts of the day.

The upside of this month is that heavy thundershowers aren’t a constant, and a little sunshine is expected.

National Parks to Visit in Tanzania and Why

Serengeti National Park

June is an exciting month to see the wildebeest migration, and the great part about it is that you get to experience different parts of it as it progresses from January to October. Other wildlife becomes much easier to spot as the dry season starts in June.

Arusha National Park

In June, water resources are limited, so animals are much easier to spot as vegetation starts to die out. Giraffes, buffaloes, zebras, and hippos are commonly seen at this park.

Ngorongoro National Park

The black rhino is commonly seen at Ngorongoro National Park and is considered one of the park’s star animals. An experience at Ngorongoro is unique as it houses some of the most unique animals, like the elephant bulls, which are not seen in many other parks.
