Best Time to Climb Mount Kilimanjaro
For the best experience, plan your Kilimanjaro trek during:
✅ January – March (Cooler, fewer climbers, chance of summit snowfall)
✅ June – October (Drier season, clear skies, stable weather)
🚫 Avoid April, May, and November due to heavy rains, which make the trails slippery and challenging.
