When to visit

The best time to visit Guyana is during the dry season, which runs from September to April. This is when you can enjoy pleasant weather and explore the country's natural wonders without heavy rainfall. However, if you're interested in birdwatching, the wet season from May to August is ideal as many migratory birds visit during this time.

Getting around

Getting around Guyana is primarily done by domestic flights, as the country has limited road infrastructure. There are several domestic airlines that operate flights between major cities and remote regions. River transportation is also common, especially in the interior regions, where boats and canoes are used to navigate the numerous rivers and waterways.

Traveller tips

Make sure to pack insect repellent and protective clothing, as Guyana is home to various insects and mosquitoes. It is advisable to carry cash in small denominations, as credit cards may not be widely accepted in remote areas. Respect the local customs and traditions, and seek permission before taking photographs of indigenous communities. Stay hydrated and drink bottled water to avoid any waterborne illnesses. Take precautions against malaria and other tropical diseases by consulting with a healthcare professional before your trip. Engage in eco-friendly practices and support sustainable tourism initiatives to help preserve Guyana's pristine environment.
