When to Visit

Togo’s equatorial climate makes it a welcoming destination all year round, with temperatures remaining pleasantly warm. However, the best time to visit Togo and explore its richness is during the dry months of August and September or from December to February when the occasional rain makes the landscapes more photogenic and the weather more adventurous.

For wildlife viewing in the national parks, the dry season (from November to February) reveals the wild's best performances. The wet seasons (April-June and October-November) bring life to the vivid celebrations of Togo's vibrant festivals so if witnessing raw cultural spectacles is on your list, plan accordingly.
