What is the Climate Like in Togo?

Togo tends to generally have a hot and tropical climate. The year is spent between four seasons. From March to April, the climate tends to be hot and dry, while the rainy season comes May through October. The recommended time to visit Togo is during the drier winter, November through February.

  • Kara – Located in the north, Kara, has a tropical climate with heavy rains in summer, and dry, mild winters. From November to April, temperatures range from the low-30’s to mid-teens. Throughout the rest of the year, the city stays at an average of 25 degrees.
  • Lome – This city has both a tropical climate. Temperatures tend to be warmest during March when temperatures reach the low-30’s. April brings an increase in rainfall cooling the city down. Temperatures dip into the high-20’s. The rainy season lasts until July.

How Safe is Togo?

While enticing, Togo’s beaches are not recommended for swimming. Water conditions tend to be dangerous due to strong waves and rip currents.

Towns along the coastline tend to be dangerous at night. Petty crime, theft and pick-pocketing at tourist frequented spots occurs.

Travellers should keep their bags and belongings close to their bodies. Avoid travelling too far from their hotel or lodging at night.

Driving throughout the country is also risky since it is common for traffic laws to not be followed. It is best to avoid any sort of travel at night.

 

Travelling to the Cascade de Wome

Located roughly 10 kilometres outside of Kpalime, the waterfalls require a whole day to journey to and from. Admission must be paid at the Association Akatamanso, which is at the entrance of the village of Wome.

The hike itself is about three to five kilometres with the reward of refreshing waterfalls at the end.

What Should I Pack for Togo?

Here are some essential items to consider for your trip to Togo:

  • Lightweight and sun protective clothing – Since malaria is at risk in Namibia, be sure to pack bug spray. Packing a repellent with at least 20%-30% DEET will keep mosquitos at bay. You should also bring neutral colored clothing, as this does not attract insects as much as dark or bright clothes.
  • Insect Repellent – Apply mosquito repellent liberally and often. The insects are most active at sunrise and sunset, but pose a risk at all times of day or night.
  • Raincoat – Tropical climate also means plenty of rain. Make sure to pack either a raincoat or umbrella to shield you from wet weather.

Canadian consular services can help travellers with many issues they may face including passport services. There are no consular services in Togo. For any consular needs, contact the Canadian Embassy in Ghana:
