The best time to book flights to Ivory Coast remains the dry winter season roughly from December to April. During this time of the year, the weather remains agreeable for outdoor sightseeing and activities. But these months also attract huge crowds and skyrocketing prices. Cheap deals for accommodations and flights are also in scanty during these months making it imperative for visitors to plan and book well in advance, if planning holidays to the country during the peak travel time. The months of May to October feature torrential downpours and are considered off-travel months. These months are best avoided by visitors.
