When to go
The best time to visit Togo is the winter, from
November to January: the air is dry and the weather is usually good. It is true that it's hot during the day, especially in the north, but less so than in the following period, from February to May.
The
worst period, being the rainiest, is from May to June on the coast, and from July to September in the interior.
What to pack
In
winter: in Lomé and the coast, pack light clothes for the day, a light sweatshirt for the evening, and a light scarf for the wind full of dust. In the north, pack light clothing, a sweatshirt and a light jacket for the evening, and a light scarf or turban for the desert wind.
In
summer: pack light clothing, made of natural fibers, a light sweatshirt and a light raincoat for the rain showers.
For women it's better to avoid shorts and miniskirts.
