Holidays & Events

It's best to visit Nigeria in January, February and December - that's when you can count on very good weather in many parts of the country.

Also, choosing months such as March, October and November 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, June, July, August 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.
