01 · Overview
The best time to visit Rwanda is between June and September, when dry days bring gorilla treks and Kigali’s hills into sharp focus. With 20°C to 25°C weather, it’s perfect for exploring Volcanoes National Park, boating Lake Kivu, or visiting Nyungwe Forest. For fewer crowds, try May or October.
