Standing at 5,895 meters (19,341 feet), Mount Kilimanjaro is not only Africa’s highest peak but also the tallest freestanding mountain in the world. Its dramatic ascent from the plains below takes climbers through a variety of ecosystems—from lush rainforest to alpine desert—offering stunning scenery every step of the way. Despite its height, Kilimanjaro is a non-technical climb, making it accessible to both beginners and seasoned trekkers. Easily reached from the towns of Arusha and Moshi, near Kilimanjaro International Airport, this iconic mountain offers a truly rewarding adventure—whether you are admiring it from the base or standing triumphantly at its summit.
Trekking during optimal seasons enhances both safety and the scenic beauty along the way, making your climb as memorable as the destination.
While it is possible to climb Mount Kilimanjaro throughout the year, for reasons of comfort and safety it is recommended that you time your trek during either of the two Dry Seasons, especially if this is your first high-altitude climb.
June to October – Generally dry, cooler conditions make this the preferred climbing window
January to March – Although warmer, the landscape is lush after the recent rains
Wet Season – Two wet seasons occur; from April to May and during November.
Climbing trails can be very difficult to negotiate, with frequent rainfall.
