All Months
November through March offers the best weather - dry season means less mud, more reliable roads, and comfortable temperatures around 25°C. December and January are peak months when the harmattan winds bring cooler, drier air from the Sahara. April gets brutally hot before the rains arrive in May. The wet season from May to October makes travel outside the city difficult, but the landscape turns green and the Ubangi River swells impressively. Here's what matters more than weather - political stability. Check current conditions before booking. The dry season also coincides with better road conditions for day trips to places like M'Baiki Falls, about two hours south.
