The best time to climb Kilimanjaro
The best time to climb Kilimanjaro is during the dry seasons, which typically occur from late June to October and from December to early March. These months offer the most favorable weather conditions, with less rainfall and clearer skies, providing a safer and more enjoyable climbing experience. Additionally, the dry seasons attract more climbers, creating a vibrant atmosphere on the mountain, and increase the chances of reaching the summit successfully. However, it's essential to be prepared for cold temperatures, especially at higher altitudes, regardless of the time of year you choose to climb.
