When Is the Best Time To Visit Gabon?

The answer to the question of what is the best month to visit Gabon 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 Gabon

It's best to visit Gabon in June, July and August - that's when you can count on very good weather all over the country.

Also, choosing months such as May and September is a good time to travel, but sometimes there may be weather conditions that make the visit difficult. We can expect worse weather in January, April and also in December, 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 February, March, October and November as this is when the worst weather of the year occurs.
