The best time to visit Atakpamé is during the dry season, which runs from November to February and again from July to August.
During these months, you'll experience less rainfall and more sunshine, making it ideal for exploring the natural beauty around Atakpamé, like the nearby waterfalls or the Plateaux region's hills. The weather is generally warm but comfortable, superb for outdoor activities.
Couples looking for a relaxing escape will appreciate the pleasant conditions for strolls through the town or day trips to the surrounding countryside. The drier conditions make road travel much easier, allowing for stress-free exploration of the region's attractions.
Solo travellers will find the dry season suitable for hiking and discovering the local culture without the disruption of heavy rains.
