The most recommended month is "March"

March is the best month to visit Guinea-Bissau. Even during the dry season, the temperature and humidity are well balanced, and there are many sunny days during the day, making it comfortable to enjoy sightseeing. The climate is also suitable for visiting tourist spots rich in nature, such as the capital Bissau and the Bissagos Islands, and is suitable for various activities such as jungle tours, wildlife watching, and beach resort experiences. The road conditions are relatively good, so it is easy to access the countryside and you will not feel inconvenienced during your travels. This is also a time when the local people are active, and there are opportunities for cultural exchange through markets and festivals. This period, when there is almost no risk of rain, is a time when a wide range of travelers, from beginners to experienced travelers, can enjoy themselves.

The least recommended month is "August"

August is the month you should avoid the most when traveling to Guinea-Bissau. During this period, which is the peak of the rainy season, heavy squalls occur several times a day, and planned sightseeing and travel are often suddenly interrupted. In particular, access roads to the countryside are prone to muddy conditions and transportation options tend to be limited. There is also a risk of flooding, which may affect your accommodation and surrounding infrastructure. The business situation of tourist destinations is also unstable, and outdoor activities and tours in particular may be canceled in some cases. In addition, the humidity is very high and temperatures exceed 30 degrees for many days, making it difficult to manage your health. If you are looking for a comfortable and fulfilling trip, it is best to avoid August.
