Kilimanjaro's beauty shines brightest in dry conditions
Best Time to Climb Kilimanjaro
Going on a journey up Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest peak in Africa requires choosing the right time for the best experience. The Best Time to Climb Kilimanjaro is from June to October and December to March. These periods offer the clearest skies, minimal rainfall, and the most stable temperatures for ascending to the chilly summit, which often reaches below freezing.
“Avoid the rains, cherish the views, and climb Kilimanjaro in dry seasons. “
KILI VIKINGS
While Kilimanjaro can be ascended year-round, the dry seasons provide the safest conditions for climbers. During these months, the weather is more predictable, with less risk of heavy rains that can make the trails slippery and dangerous. This makes planning your climb during these times ideal for both safety and comfort.
Selecting the right time to climb Kilimanjaro is vital for optimal conditions:
- Dry Seasons – Optimal for clear, safe climbing conditions.
- Rainy Seasons – April, May, and November can be challenging due to mud and poor visibility.
- Crowds – Consider January to March for fewer climbers and good weather.
Ultimately, your experience on Kilimanjaro will be shaped by the season you choose. These months provide physical comfort and enhance the enjoyment of your climb with better views and more pleasant weather.
For a detailed plan on how to tackle Kilimanjaro during these optimal months, turn to Kili Vikings for expert guidance and tailored tour packages.

Moonlit Magic on Kilimanjaro!
Climbing Kilimanjaro during a full moon is magical. The moonlight lights up your path, so you might not even need a torch. This popular time can be crowded, though, so it’s smart to book early.
Kilimanjaro has different climate zones, from hot rainforests at the bottom to icy cold at the top. Each area offers something special, like beautiful views and wildlife. Climbing during the full or new moon also means amazing night skies.

Great experience with Kilimanjaro Vikings, amazing flexibility and professionality
Me and my girlfriend wanted to combine climbing Kilimanjaro with the Migration Safari. I contacted few different companies to have an idea of what possibilities i could chose from, Charlie was very fast responding and he took the time to answer all my questions and clarify all my doubts.

Adventure of a lifetime
Amazing adventure, everything was organized perfectly, from airport pickoff to drop off. Communication before and after was 10/10, guides, cook and porters beyond words and expectations. Highly recommended

WOW!! Amazing experience!
We did a 5 day safari trip and a 5 day cultural tribal tour. The Safari was great, we saw every animal we wanted to see and the itinerary was well planned. The cultural and tribal tour was awesome! It’s an experience I would recommend to everyone! We got to know the local villages and different activities with the tribes!

The organization was all over very good.Our guides on Kilimanjaro Michael and Protas are the very best! Caring, motivating, and just great people! Also, our cook Thomas and the porters were just amazing and so nice. The food was fantastic and fresh every day. We couldn’t have a better Kilimanjaro experience 🙂

8 days Kilimanjaro Lemosho route
We were a group of 8 friends from Germany and we did 8 days Lemosho route with Kili Vikings. It was absolutely amazing! All of us successfully reached the top, but we wouldn’t have made it without the whole team around our guides Michael, Juma and Protas.
