Best Time to Climb Mount Kilimanjaro
The best time to climb Mount Kilimanjaro is during the dry seasons—January to March and June to October. These months offer the most stable weather, with clear skies, minimal rainfall, and excellent visibility, making your trek both safer and more scenic.
January to March tends to be less crowded and slightly colder, especially near the summit, but it’s a great time for those seeking a quieter experience. June to October is the most popular period, aligning with many international holidays and providing ideal trekking conditions.
While it’s possible to climb Kilimanjaro year-round, the rainy seasons—April to May and November—can make trails slippery and visibility poor. For the best chance at a successful and enjoyable summit, planning your trek during the dry months is highly recommended.
