WHAT TO WEAR IN RWANDA

Dress codes are informal. Daytime temperatures are generally warm, so bring lots of light clothing, supplemented by light sweaters for the cool evenings and heavier clothing for the Parc des Volcans and Nyungwe. When tracking gorillas, wear sturdier clothing to protect against stinging nettles, and wear solid walking shoes. A hat and sunglasses provide protection against the sun, and a waterproof jacket may come in handy in the mountains where it is often times moist.
