Ghana experiences a tropical climate with two main seasons: the wet season and the dry season. The best time to visit Ghana is during the dry season (November - March).

 

This period offers lower rainfall and cooler temperatures, making it ideal for exploring the country's diverse landscapes, visiting national parks, and participating in outdoor activities. This is also the best time to experience vibrant cultural events, such as the Homowo and Aboakyer festivals!
