Suggested itineraries in June

Winter in Southern Africa is simply sublime. Expect warm days and chilly evenings, although it is worth noting that the evenings can be very chilly especially in Namibia, Botswana, Zambia and Zimbabwe. The safari camps and lodges are all very well prepared for the cold nights and snuggling up under your duvet with hot water bottle and hot toddy listening to the African nightjar is very special indeed! The daytimes, on the other hand, are glorious with bright, white sunny days and wildlife in abundance. If a safari doesn’t appeal, scuba diving in Mozambique, sightseeing at the mighty Victoria Falls or standing in awe at the bottom of Big Daddy at Sossusvlei are all on the menu, as is a visit to Cape Town or the Garden Route where the landscapes can be enjoyed with fewer tourists and some fantastic luxury lodgings with a roaring log fire.
