Best time to visit Guinea-Bissau

Guinea-Bissau’s tropical climate means it’s generally hot and humid here, with its rainy season falling between June and October. Organised tours don’t run during this time, as it’s a soggy scene and the country’s already poor infrastructure is worsened by the rain. November to April is the best time to go to Guinea-Bissau, and this is when organised small group tours depart; from December to April, the country gets virtually no rain at all. There’s little fluctuation in temperature year-round here, with an average of 26°C. Between August and February, you can see nesting sea turtles on the Bijagos Archipelago.
