  WEATHER IN RWANDA

  Rwanda is a tropical highland climate and experiences a lot of rain. Temperatures vary vastly between locations.

   

  • Rainy season: March to May and October to November

  The rainfall in the rainforest and mountains can change snappily, ranging from warm sunny days to stormy spells. We thus recommend that you pack a range of apparel suitable for all conditions, particularly warm gloves, scarves, and headwear during stormy seasons, as well as leak proof outerwear, closed shoes for hikes, plus a chapeau and sun protection.
