The Best Time to Climb Kilimanjaro
The dry months – Mountains can be unpredictable, and inclement weather can surface unexpectedly at any time of the year. But on the whole, the following months are the best time to climb – January and February or June to October. Treks around Christmas time are also popular, but December can be a month that is variable in weather.
The rainy seasons – The mountain’s wettest months stretch over two rainy seasons. The shorter rains fall from November through mid-December. March through May brings the long rainy season. Trekking during the rains does have its benefits, with the routes emptying out as visitors shy away from the wet weather. If you want to experience quiet paths and greater solitude, this is the time to go.
For experienced trekkers who can handle the downpours, it’s a consideration. But this is a challenging time to trek, and success rates drop compared to dry season attempts. For most people, it is best avoided.
We’ve put together a month-by-month guide to climbing Mount Kilimanjaro here. This will help you tailor a Kilimanjaro trek to the time that matches your schedule.
