Plan Your Visit to Rwanda
The weather is Rwanda is excellent with daily temperatures averaging about 21°C. However, the areas around Musanze and particularly the Volcanoes National Park can be very cold because of the high altitude. You must have warm clothes if you are planning to visit the Volcanoes National Park. If you are in Kigali, expect warm days. To protect yourself from the sun’s rays, pack sunglasses, a hat and light clothes. You will still need warm clothes in the evening/night even when in Kigali.
The best time to visit Rwanda is between June to August and also December to early February. These months have less rain and favored by tourists going on a Rwanda safari. National parks and activities continue regardless of whether it is a dry or wet season. In fact, if you want to get the best accommodations rates or avoid the crowds, better visit during the low seasons.
