WISHING YOU AN EXCELLENT TRIP EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW

If you have a cold, flu or other contagious infection, you should not go gorilla trekking as the gorillas are very susceptible to catching human infections, particularly respiratory ones.

Rwanda has a tropical highland climate, with plenty of rain. Temperatures vary considerably between locations depending on their altitude, but very little from month to month in the same place. In the capital, Kigali, the average daily temperature is about 21°C/70°F:
Rainy season: March to May and October to November
Hottest months: June to September
For all outdoor activities, we recommend suitable outdoor clothing, appropriate to the season and weather. The weather in the rainforest and mountains can change quickly, ranging from warm sunny days to rainy spells. We therefore recommend that you pack a range of clothing suitable for all conditions, particularly warm gloves, scarves, and head wear during rainy seasons, as well as waterproof outer-wear, closed shoes for hikes, plus a hat and sun protection.

The time zone in Rwanda is set two hours ahead of GMT (GMT +2).

Please note: proof of yellow fever vaccination is mandatory upon arrival in Tanzania
