Rwanda is known as the "land of eternal spring".  It is not as hot as you are probably expecting, so khaki capris and cotton t-shirts or long dresses are best. For people doing labor intensive work, shorts are fine.

Our white skin is quite shocking to some Rwandan people, so we recommend covering up quite a bit. Stay away from short dresses, short shorts, and low cut shirts. You don't want to be showing your mid-riff, cleavage, or too much of your legs.

Rwandans really love to dress up for Sunday church services, and they expect us to as well. You will want to bring some nicer clothes for this.
