Bangui in February
Great time to visit
February keeps the good times rolling from January. Still prime traveling weather, though you'll notice the heat starting to build as the month progresses.
Weather
February continues the dry season magic with slightly warmer days but still comfortable nights. The harmattan winds from the north bring dust but also keep humidity low. Rain is almost non-existent, making this ideal for outdoor exploration.

February Tips
- •Bring sunglasses and a light scarf for dusty harmattan winds
- •Perfect month for visiting Chutes de Boali waterfalls
- •Stock up on sunscreen - the sun is intense with clear skies
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.
