What you need to know

Due to its high elevation (1500m/5000 feet) Rwanda has a temperate equatorial highland climate. Average temperatures range from 20 degrees to 27 degrees however, the lush forested mountain areas are cooler and get quite chilly at night. The long rainy season is March to May and short rains are December to February.

Rwanda’s dramatic vistas are endless, with a fresh perspective around every corner as well as great Gorilla and Chimp tracking.

The power supply is EU / European standard voltage of 230/240 and power sockets are UK style (square pin type). It is important to note that if you want to use US appliances, you will need a voltage converter as well as a plug converter. Power cuts and voltage fluctuation are not uncommon.

Insurance to cover for medical, personal property and other personal risks during your safari is essential. Sense of Africa requires that all clients arrange for personal insurance.
