Weather

Rain is a non-factor here almost every month — the real story of the year is temperature, swinging from January's cooler stretch to July's peak heat. In November, expect highs around 23°C with rain on roughly 4 days of the month.

Things to Do

More comfortable temperatures for visiting Djenné's mud-brick Great Mosque and Dogon Country.

Local Cuisine

Try tiguadege na, a peanut-based stew, alongside grilled fish from the Niger River.
