When to Climb Mount Kilimanjaro

The best time and month to climb Kilimanjaro tends to be January, February and September, when the weather is warm, the sky is visible and the risk of rain is minimal. June, July, and august are also favorable though its cold season/winter in Tanzania.

March, June, November or December are rainy seasons making it tougher to climb but with proper preparation one can summit to the top.

THE FULL MOON: Targeting the climb during the full moon period is an interesting choice, as during the nights the visibility improves and the moon dangling directly above makes for a spectacular moment when you’re standing on top of the roof of Africa.

Weather on Mount Kilimajaro

Standing in an elevation of 5,785 meters above sea level, Mount Kilimanjaro is 60 km in width (Kilimanjaro is thick yo! that makes it sexy to climb.) and 100 km in length with its own beautiful zonal vegetation. Climatic conditions on Kilimanjaro varies with attitude, from a tropical climate to artic conditions at the summit.

The foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro enjoy summer annually, temperature ranges from 25 to 30C yearlong. At the top temperatures ranges from -10 to -25C. In general, every 200meters you climb temperature drops by 1C.

Kilimanjaro experiences two wet seasons, the long monsoon rains between March and May, and the short rainy season which starts in the middle of October to the end of December. Kilimanjaro base experiences 2000mm of rain compared to 100mm of rain at top(summit).
