Best Time to Visit Rwanda

Rwanda can be visited year-round, but rainfall patterns influence trekking conditions and wildlife visibility. Choosing the right season enhances both comfort and experience.

June – September

Dry Season (Best Overall)

The most popular time for gorilla and chimpanzee trekking. Trails are drier, visibility is excellent, and conditions are ideal for hiking and wildlife encounters.

December – February

Short Dry Season

A great alternative window for trekking with warmer temperatures, lighter rainfall, and fewer visitors than peak summer months.

March – May & October – November

Green (Rainy) Seasons

Lush landscapes and fewer travelers define these months. While trekking can be more challenging, photographers will appreciate the vibrant scenery and moody atmosphere.
