Best time to climb Mount Kilimanjaro:
When to climb Mount Kilimanjaro safe, how to climb mount Kilimanjaro climbing route, When to climb Mount Kilimanjaro? or How to climb Mount Kilimanjaro?
The fact is most of the month has few rainy days makes it possible for a climb in relatively good condition all year-round.
During the rain period of March and May, cloud tends to pile up and over the summit, dropping snow on top and at the base. Visibility can be limited by cloud cover even when no rainfalls. The temperature at this time of the year is relatively warm.
The dry season beginning in late June and through July can be very cold at night but usually is clear of clouds.
August and September are also cool and can have completely clear days, but usually, a dripping cloud belt girdles the mountain above the forest moorland. The summit can be totally clear.
The shorter rainy period of October to December often has thunderstorms that pass over the mountain, dropping rains as they go. Typical the cloud disappear in the evening leaving the nights and morning very clear with excellent visibility.
January and February are usually dry, warm and clear with brief rain showers which make good climbing conditions.
Even thought one can climb thought out the year, January, February and September are the best month with July, August, November and December are also good.
I work 7 days a week.
“Moshi Tour ”
My first day in Moshi and I was looking for a tour of the city. I found Peter online, and booked on a whim. I’m SO glad I did! It was like walking around town with a friend. He showed me everything I wanted to see and beyond. He met me at my hotel, and dropped me off there at the end. I felt safe with him, and like I was among friends in the beautiful Moshi city. Two highlights were the old railway station and Blue Zebra! If you are looking for a tour, definitely take a chance a go with Peter! Also, he’s a Kilimanjaro guide and it was fun to talk to him ahead of time about my big climb!
