Enquire nowBest Time to Visit Benin
The best time to visit Benin is in the cooler months just after the rainy season, when game parks are accessible and the humidity is lower.
Southern Benin has two rainy seasons - April to mid-July, and mid-September to late October. The rains in the north fall from June to early October. Smaller roads throughout Benin may not be accessible during the rainy seasons, especially in game parks.
Harmattan winds blow from the Sahara desert between December and March, and the hottest time of the year is from February to April. The coolest, driest time is between November and February.
Bird season is typically best during the cooler, drier months as well, and more outdoor activities can be enjoyed.
These months can be fairly busy on the tourist front however, especially in big cities such as Cotonou.
