The best time to go to Lokoja is during the dry season, which typically runs from November to February.
This period avoids the heavy rains and high humidity of the wet season, making outdoor activities and travel around the city much more comfortable. The weather is generally sunny and warm, with cooler evenings, which is ideal for exploring Lokoja's historical sites.
For travelers interested in exploring the natural beauty and historical landmarks, such as Mount Patti and the confluence of the Niger and Benue Rivers, the dry season offers clear skies and pleasant conditions for sightseeing and photography. It's also a good time for those who prefer to avoid navigating muddy roads or dealing with frequent downpours.
Couples looking for a relaxed trip will appreciate the more predictable weather, allowing for easy planning of excursions and enjoying the local culture without interruptions.
