Rwanda being in Africa some people think this part of the world is generally warm or even unbearably hot but it is not so as the country experiences both warm and cool temperatures. To have any African safari your list on what to wear should be one that will keep you comfortable and yet smart for each kind of activity. Rhino tracking in Akagera National Park Rwanda
Having considered the most recommended selection of what to wear on an African wildlife safari, here is an ultimate packing list;
1. Clothes to wear
Neutral color clothes: While on a wildlife safari in Rwanda, you will have to take game drives to view wildlife. Wear clothing that is comfortable with colors that blend with the wild. Neutral color clothing is most recommendable and these include clothes with colors like khaki, taupe, beige, and grey.
Bright-colored clothing like Black and dark blue attract tsetse flies. The red-colored clothing is also in most cases identified by predators as wounded animals. White clothes might end up becoming brown with dust especially during the dry season.
Suitable attires: For each safari activity there is something suitable. With the neutral colors, pants and shirts are comfortable for a game drive since you spend the game drive inside the safari vehicle.
Remember to pack light clothing during the rainy season, however, you should also carry shorts for the evenings and sweaters for early morning game drives. Game drives start early morning and therefore a sweater and scarf are recommendable to keep you warm. Wildlife in Akagera National Park Rwanda
Cotton is the best fabric for t-shirts such that it is easy to do laundry. A light and yet very warm jacket is recommendable for any time of the year.
2. Footwear/shoes
Wear comfortable safari shoes for game drives. Since you spend most of the time in the safari vehicle, wear sandals or flip-flops that will keep you comfortable during the game drive. Walking shoes are the best to wear just in case you may have to walk, it’s hard to walk in the jungle with sandals.
3. Hand gloves and hat
If you do not like having cold hands, wear hand gloves to keep your hands warm. Hand gloves come in handy during the wet or rainy season and early morning when it’s cold. A hat will help protect your head from the scorching sun during the Afternoon in case you have the game drive till late.
4. Back pack
You need to carry a small backpack that you carry along with you most of the time during a Rwanda tour and this is the same for the game drive. In your backpack, put in all of your essentials including gadgets, insect repellent, lip balm, and all you need and use frequently.
Rwanda wildlife tours even with the fact that they are contributing to the development of tourism in Rwanda may not be the ultimate Africa wildlife safaris but very amazing. If you would want to view wildlife in a very picturesque setting, Rwanda is the main drawcard.
