Drier days, fewer mosquitoes and much easier travel-best time for forest walks, community visits and river crossings without extreme mud.
March - June
23°C to 28°C (73°F to 82°F)
Heavy, persistent rains turn tracks into rivers-travel slows dramatically, but the rainforest is lush and waterfalls become spectacular and wild sights.
September - November
23°C to 28°C (73°F to 82°F)
Frequent rains and high humidity make travel sticky; expect fewer services during storms, but excellent birding and intense green scenery.
