Best Time to Visit

The Best Time to Visit Mount Kilimanjaro is during the dry season, from June to October and December to February. These months offer clear skies, cooler temperatures, and optimal trekking conditions, making it the most popular time to summit. The wet season (March to May) brings heavy rains, making trails slippery and difficult, but it’s also the best time for those seeking fewer crowds and lush landscapes. For trekkers aiming to reach the summit, the dry season is the ideal time due to safer conditions and better visibility.
