Visiting Tanzania

The best time to climb Kilimanjaro is in January, February, or September.

January and February on Kilimanjaro are known for being warm and clear. There is relatively little rainfall during these months, which makes them an ideal time of year to climb.

Throughout the rest of the year one can still climb Kilimanjaro, but conditions are not as good. April and May can also be clear and somewhat warm, but often see heavy rain and snowfall. This is the rainiest season of the year on Kilimanjaro.

From mid-May to August, the weather on Kilimanjaro gets much colder.

In addition to January and February, September is the other best time to climb Kilimanjaro. While September tends to be cooler than the first two months of the year, there is still good visibility.

In October the weather on Kilimanjaro warms up somewhat and there is less rainfall.

From November to December Kilimanjaro gets a lot of rain. They are not ideal times to climb.
