What to pack for Rwanda in the spring

In Rwanda during the spring, the weather is typically warm during the day and cooler in the evenings.

It is recommended to bring lightweight and breathable clothing such as cotton tops, t-shirts, and shorts for the daytime. Light layers like cardigans or light jackets are also useful for the cooler evenings. It is important to dress modestly in Rwanda, so avoid wearing revealing clothing.

For women, knee-length skirts or dresses and tops that cover the shoulders are appropriate. For men, shorts and t-shirts are acceptable, but it is advisable to avoid sleeveless tops. Comfortable walking shoes are a must, as well as a versatile pair of sandals for casual outings. Don't forget to pack a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen to protect yourself from the strong African sun.

Additionally, a rain jacket or umbrella may be necessary as spring in Rwanda can bring occasional showers.

In the spring, Rwanda experiences a shift from the relatively dry season to the beginning of the rainy season.

Temperatures are mild, typically ranging from 17-25°C (63-77°F), with occasional rain showers and increasing humidity.

The landscape is lush and green as plants begin to bloom, providing a pleasant and refreshing climate for outdoor activities and exploring the country's scenic beauty.
