Mountaineering in tanzania

Mount Kilimanjaro is Africa’s tallest peak, standing at an impressive 5,895 meters (19,341 feet). Known as the “Roof of Africa,” Kilimanjaro is a bucket-list climb for mountaineers and adventurers from around the world. What makes Kilimanjaro unique is its non-technical ascent, which allows trekkers to reach one of the world’s most famous summits without the need for advanced mountaineering skills. The journey from the lush rainforests at the base to the icy, glacier-covered summit provides a diverse and breathtaking experience that few mountains can match. Climbing Kilimanjaro is more than just a physical challenge; it’s a chance to traverse multiple climate zones and witness one of the world’s most iconic landscapes.

• January and February
• September

The best time to climb Kilimanjaro is during Tanzania’s dry seasons: January to March and June to October. These months offer the most stable weather conditions, with clearer skies and drier paths, making the ascent more comfortable and safer. January to March tends to be slightly quieter, while June to October sees more climbers. The rainy seasons (April-May and November-December) are generally less favorable, as trails can become slippery and visibility decreases, although some climbers opt for these months to avoid the crowds.
