Best Time to Fly
The best time to fly to Sierra Leone is during the dry season, which generally runs from November to May. During these months, the weather is more comfortable, with lower humidity and minimal rainfall, making it ideal for exploring the country’s natural attractions, beaches, and capital city, Freetown. The peak of the dry season, from December to February, offers the most pleasant conditions for travel, while avoiding the heavy rains of the wet season, which typically occurs from June to October and can lead to flooding and travel disruptions. Planning your trip during the dry season also increases the likelihood of smoother flights and more reliable transportation within the country.
