The best time to go to Tanguieta is during the dry season, which runs from November to May.
This period offers consistently clear skies and comfortable temperatures, typically ranging from 25°C to 35°C. The lower humidity makes outdoor activities much more enjoyable, and the roads are generally in better condition, making travel around the region easier. This is particularly beneficial for those planning safaris or exploring the national park.
For those interested in wildlife viewing, the latter part of the dry season, from March to May, is often considered ideal. As water sources become scarcer, animals tend to congregate around remaining waterholes, making them easier to spot within Pendjari National Park. This could be a highlight for solo travellers or couples looking for an exceptional safari experience.
The early dry season, from November to February, is excellent for a more relaxed trip. The air is fresh after the rains, and the landscapes are still relatively green.
