By SimsIn Travels and Experiences – Your Luxury Gateway to Africa
The calendar has turned, and with it comes the start of South Africa’s winter season—but don’t let the word winter fool you.
June 1st in South Africa means sunny skies, crisp air, and the perfect setting for adventure, relaxation, and unforgettable memories. While much of the world braces for summer crowds or rainy forecasts, South Africa steps into a golden rhythm—cool, calm, and luxurious.
At SimsIn Travels and Experiences, we design custom winter escapes for travelers who want more than just a vacation—they want a journey.
Bonfires
🌤️ What June in South Africa Really Feels Like
Daytime temperatures: 17°C–23°C (63°F–73°F)
Clear blue skies, ideal for wildlife viewing, golf, and photography
Chilly evenings by the fireplace with red wine and gourmet dinners
Low tourist season, meaning exclusive access and better rates
Whether you’re in Cape Town, Kruger, or the Winelands—June is a hidden gem of a month.
Hiking
✨ June Highlights: What to Do Right Now
🦁 Big Game, Big Sightings
Winter is peak safari season in regions like:
- Kruger National Park
- Sabi Sands
- Madikwe Game Reserve
The drier landscape means animals gather at waterholes, making sightings of lions, elephants, leopards and rhinos far more likely. Our private guides and luxury lodges turn every moment into a memory.
⛳ Golf in Ideal Conditions
June offers perfect golfing weather—dry air, no wind, and unbeatable views. SimsIn’s top course picks include:
- 🏌️ Fancourt Golf Estate – Garden Route luxury
- 🏌️ Leopard Creek – Play next to the Kruger fence line
- 🏌️ Pearl Valley – Just outside Cape Town, wine & golf in one
We also arrange golf & spa combos for couples or small groups.
🍷 Cape Winelands in Their Winter Glow
Explore Stellenbosch, Franschhoek, and Paarl with:
- Private vineyard tastings
- Firelit cellar lunches
- Chocolate and wine pairings
- Boutique wine estate accommodations
June is the perfect time to sip a bold Pinotage while cozying up to mountain views.
🛍️ Cultural City Escapes
In Cape Town and Johannesburg, the energy is alive with:
- Boutique markets
- Museum tours (Robben Island, Apartheid Museum)
- Design Districts like Maboneng and Woodstock
- Whale watching in Hermanus starts late June!
We can pair city tours with day trips to the coast or mountains, all curated to your style.
