Best time to visit Ivory Coast

Ivory Coast experiences an equatorial climate, with warm to hot temperatures all year and a wet summer season, which falls between May and August. There are occasional showers throughout the rest of the year as well. The south of the country has two wet seasons, so prepare for this if you’re planning on trips to the beaches of Ivory Coast. The dry season falls between November and March. This period is perfect for sightseeing and enjoying the sights of the country. However, between the last week of January and the first week of February, there is a strong wild that comes from the Sahara, which brings about a lot of sand and leaves everything with a yellow sand.
