When Is the Best Time To Visit Rwanda?

The answer to the question of what is the best month to visit Rwanda depends on what you are interested in doing during your stay. Here you can see an overview of each month and its typical weather conditions.

Tourist Season in Rwanda

It's best to visit Rwanda in June, July and August - that's when you can count on very good weather all over the country.

Also, choosing months such as September is a good time to travel, but sometimes there may be weather conditions that make the visit difficult. We can expect worse weather in January, February, May and also in December, although the journey is possible, this is not the best time. The weather can then be very unpredictable, with a tendency to be bad. It is better to avoid March, April, October and November as this is when the worst weather of the year occurs.
