## Cheapest Time to Visit Benin (Low Season)

The **cheapest time to visit Benin** is during the fall season, with heavier rainy seasons—when heat and humidity are higher, and some roads become muddy or impassable.

- **Southern Benin – Long Rainy Season (April to July)**  
Frequent showers deter leisure travel, lowering hotel and flight prices.
- **Northern Benin – Wet Season (May to September)**  
Safari access is limited, and tourism is minimal, resulting in lower lodge and transport rates.
