When to go to Rwanda

The Best Time to Visit Rwanda is during the dry seasons from June to September and December to February, when the weather is warm and rainfall is minimal, making it ideal for gorilla trekking and wildlife viewing. However, Rwanda's equatorial climate means that it can be visited year-round, with each season offering unique experiences. The wetter months from March to May and October to November are characterized by lush green landscapes, fewer tourists, and discounted gorilla permits, making them a great option for budget travellers and birdwatching enthusiasts.
