Visitors to Benin are likely to spend most of their time in south of the country, which has a tropical, equatorial climate. The best time to travel to this area is in the drier and more pleasant months of October to April - which also coincide with the annual Voodoo festival in January - an unmissable experience. July and August. can also be a good time to visit.
