When Is the Best Time To Visit Sierra Leone?

The answer to the question of what is the best month to visit Sierra Leone 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 Sierra Leone

It's best to visit Sierra Leone in January, February, March and December - that's when you can count on very good weather all over the country.

Also, choosing months such as April 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 May and also in October, 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, August and September as this is when the worst weather of the year occurs.
