PracticalSeasons in Benin
The south and the north have different climates.
The south has two rainy seasons, roughly April to July and September to November. The north has just one, roughly June to October. The most pleasant period is November to March; for Pendjari, choose the dry season.
For vaccinations and malaria prevention, check with a travel clinic or doctor before you leave.
