Where to Travel in June
June is an extraordinary time to visit the Arctic, where 24-hour daylight illuminates the breathtaking frozen landscapes and offers a rare opportunity to see polar bears in their natural habitat. The endless sunlight allows for extended exploration, with dramatic glaciers, icy fjords, and wildlife encounters creating an unforgettable adventure at the top of the world.
Meanwhile, in Europe, the early days of summer are arriving, bringing rising temperatures and the perfect conditions for a warm-weather escape before the peak tourist season.
NORWAY
Marvel at the magnificence of the fjords
In June, Norway basks in long, sunlit days and brief nights, offering the perfect conditions for extended hikes through landscapes that captivate at every turn. The clear, warm weather, showcases region’s beauty in all its glory. Experience the best of it on our Walking the Fjords trip, which starts in Bergen and leads you on sensational valley hikes with the chance to take scenic ferry and train journeys.

BOTSWANA
Sunny days and starry nights
Botswana is one of the best places to travel in June thanks to its stunning weather. During the country’s dry season, rainfall is minimal and the vegetation is sparse, making wildlife easier to spot as they congregate around waterholes. If you explore the Okavango Delta on our two-week Botswana & Zimbabwe Lodge Safari or Wildlife & Wilderness of Botswana trips, the flood waters attract more animals from the hinterland. You’ll have the best view on a traditional Mokoro dugout canoe. View all Botswana tours here

In the Rodopi Mountains, wildflowers burst into bloom offering a rare chance to spot delicate orchids as you make your way through coniferous forests and dramatic limestone gorges on our Bulgaria: Rodopi Mountains trip.
