The best time to climb/hike Kilimanjaro is between December and March and June and October. The former season is usually colder than the latter, but also often quieter. Most people ask themselves when is the best time to climb Kilimanjaro and here we have a brief information about the best time of year to climb Kilimanjaro.
January through March is a good time to climb Kilimanjaro. The weather is pretty stable and there isn’t much rain. It is however colder during this period. Snowfall at or near the summit is quite likely.
April and May are the rainy season months. It is not a great time to hike Kilimanjaro. Heavy rainfall on the lower reaches of the mountain is common. Cloud cover and poor visibility are also significant during this period.
June through October is the busiest season on the mountain as it coincides with the summer holiday period in Europe and North America. The weather is also very good. Generally dry and warm during the day.
November is a light rainy season. The Rongai makes for a good choice during this month as the North tends to stay dry. December is fast becoming a popular season, despite being very cold on the summit.
