BEST TIME OF YEAR TO SCALE KILIMANJARO

Usually, the months of March, April, and May bring the long rains and are best to be avoided. Though November often brings shorter rains, it doesn’t typically rain the entire duration, so climbing is feasible.

Optimal months for embarking on a climb of Mount Kilimanjaro are January, February, in addition to August and September. July may be cooler, whilst November to December are typically more wet.

The climatic conditions in January to February are usually the warmest, largely free of cloud cover during the evenings and mornings. Our guides exhibit remarkably high success rates, notably higher than the average success rates of all who endeavor to summit.

For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.
