WHAT TO WEAR

Tourists should be respectful of local customs and social norms

  • Daytime temperatures are generally warm so light clothing and sun protection are recommended 
  • Evenings are cool, so pack a sweater or jacket 
  • Rain is always a possibility; water resistant shoes and jackets are recommended 
  • Pants and long sleeves are ideal to protect from sun and mosquitos 

Flip-Flops

Flip-flops are not generally accepted footwear in Rwanda. Considered unhygienic because they do not cover vulnerable parts of the foot, many believe that flip-flops spread germs and dirt onto others, (especially those walking behind you). While not suitable for public, flip-flops are acceptable footwear in bathrooms/showers, pools and beaches. 

MEN

  • Rwandan men typically wear pants, although shorts are acceptable 
  • Shirts must be worn at all times, including outdoor exercise

WOMEN

  • Rwandan women typically dress in skirts and dresses that reach below the knee 
  • Women in Rwanda do not typically wear shorts above the knee or low cut tops
