The climate in Dakar revolves around two seasons. The dry season extends from November to May, and temperatures are moderated by a regular oceanic wind. A hotter, more humid and rainy season occurs from July to early October. If you wish to enjoy Dakar's beaches or engage in outdoor activities, you may prefer the period from November to May.

The monuments, museums, tourist districts, restaurants and shops welcome you from January to December, for a stay in Dakar in all seasons. Opting for a trip outside the tourist season often provides more attractive fares.

By booking your Lyon - Dakar flight as early as possible, you can often make substantial savings. Airfares change throughout the sale period of a flight, and the initial seats are typically sold at more attractive prices. In contrast, the prices of the last available seats can rise significantly.

You can also reduce your expenses by maintaining a degree of flexibility in your departure and return dates. From one week to another, and sometimes even from one day to another, ticket prices can fluctuate significantly. Early planning for your trip offers you more flexibility.
