What is the best time of year to climb Kilimanjaro?

The weather on the mountain is fairly consistent year-round, but should you plan on attaching a safari to your trek, it’s worth keeping in mind Tanzania’s seasonal shifts. June through October is cooler and drier. December through March is warmer and a bit wetter, with lush, green landscapes throughout the country.

We wouldn’t recommend climbing in April, early May, or late November, due to heavy rains.
