When to go
The best time to visit Suriname runs from
late August to mid-November, since it is the driest and sunniest period of the year; it is true that it is also the hottest, but what matters most here is to avoid the heavy rains.
The short dry season, in
February and March, is less pronounced, but it is still quite noticeable, at least along the north coast, especially from Paramaribo to the west, that is, to the border with Guyana. However, for its brevity (one or two weeks) it's not reliable.
In the far south, you can visit the
Sipaliwini Savanna for a longer period, from August to February, with a preference for the period from September to December.
What to pack
Throughout the year: pack
tropics-friendly, loose-fitting clothing, light shirts and pants of natural fibers (cotton, linen) or synthetics that breathe, maybe with long sleeves for mosquitoes; a light sweatshirt for the evening, a sun hat, and an umbrella or a light and breathable raincoat.
From December to March, add a sweatshirt for the evening.
