What to pack for Rwanda in the winter

When traveling to Rwanda in the winter, it is important to pack clothing suitable for the cooler temperatures.

The weather during this season can be quite mild during the day but tends to be chilly in the evenings and mornings. It is recommended to pack lightweight layers such as long-sleeved shirts, sweaters, and light jackets to wear during the cooler parts of the day.

Additionally, be sure to pack a warm coat or jacket for the colder evenings and mornings. Don't forget to bring comfortable walking shoes, as Rwanda's terrain can be rugged and hilly in some areas. Opt for closed-toe shoes that offer good support and traction.

Lastly, consider packing a few scarves and hats to keep warm on chilly days and evenings.
