Best time to travel to Togo

The best time to visit Togo is during the dry season, which runs from November to April. This period offers pleasant weather, making it ideal for exploring the country's diverse landscapes and vibrant culture.

In November, the weather starts to cool down, with temperatures around 25° in Lomé, the capital city. This is a great time to visit the bustling markets and enjoy the coastal beaches.

As you move inland to places like Kpalimé, known for its lush forests and waterfalls, the temperatures are slightly cooler, making it perfect for hiking and nature walks.

December and January are particularly favorable months, with temperatures ranging from 22° to 28°. During these months, you can visit the Fazao-Malfakassa National Park, where the dry conditions make wildlife spotting easier. The park is home to elephants, antelopes, and a variety of bird species.

By February and March, the temperatures start to rise, reaching around 30° in the northern regions like Kara. Despite the heat, this is an excellent time to experience Togo's cultural festivals, such as the Evala festival, which features traditional wrestling matches.

April marks the end of the dry season, with temperatures around 27°. This is the last chance to explore Togo's attractions before the rainy season begins in May.
