When Is the Best Time To Visit South Sudan?

The answer to the question of what is the best month to visit South Sudan 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 South Sudan

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

Also, choosing months such as March 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, September 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 May, June, July and August as this is when the worst weather of the year occurs.
