When to go Benin ?
The tourist season corresponds to the dry season and therefore also to the opening of the parks. It runs from mid-December to mid-May. The trails are more practicable and most festivals and voodoo ceremonies take place during this season. But during the winter (rainy season), the scenery is very beautiful, especially in the verdant north. Temperatures generally vary between 22°C and 36°C throughout the year.
Benin's weather is characterized by a tropical climate and 2 seasons:
The high season, from November to April, is dry;
The low season, from May to October, corresponds to the rainy season, with more frequent showers in the north.
Temperatures in Benin oscillate between moderate heat on the coast and more intense temperatures in inland regions. In fact, the coast offers a refreshing sea breeze all year round. Get ready to feel the tropics!
