All Months
June through September gives you the dry season sweet spot. Temperatures hover around 26°C, humidity drops to almost bearable levels, and you can actually see wildlife in the national parks without getting drenched. This is when Akanda's elephants come closer to the coast and the beaches aren't constantly pounded by rain. October through May brings the wet season, which sounds dramatic but really just means afternoon thunderstorms and higher humidity. The upside? Everything turns impossibly green and hotel rates drop. December and January see some French expats returning for holidays, so book ahead if you're planning a Christmas visit.
