When Is the Best Time To Visit Burkina Faso?

The answer to the question of what is the best month to visit Burkina Faso depends on what you are interested in doing during your stay. Here you can see an overview of each month and its typical weather conditions.

Tourist Season in Burkina Faso

It's best to visit Burkina Faso in November and December - that's when you can count on very good weather all over the country.

Also, choosing months such as January, February, March and October is a good time to travel, but sometimes there may be weather conditions that make the visit difficult. We can expect worse weather in April, May and also in September, although the journey is possible, this is not the best time. The weather can then be very unpredictable, with a tendency to be bad. It is better to avoid June, July and August as this is when the worst weather of the year occurs.
