Best Time to Visit

Mount Kilimanjaro via the Lemosho Route can be climbed throughout the year, but some months offer better weather and clearer views:

 Dry Seasons (Best Conditions)

• June – October: Stable weather, clearer skies, and excellent summit conditions.
• January – March: Warm and generally dry with great visibility.
  Both periods are considered the most favorable times to climb for reliable conditions and easier trekking.

 Wet/Shoulder Seasons

• April – May: Long rains make trails wet and less comfortable.
• November – Early December: Short rains can bring unpredictable showers, although climbing is still possible with good gear.

Pro tip: If you want clear skies, optimal trail conditions, and higher summit success, the June–October dry window is usually the best choice.
