Travel to Mt. Kilimanjaro
When to visit
January, February, August and September are the driest and most
suitable months. Conditions are wetter and less favorable over March- May and November-December, but it’s still possible to climb, and there’s less crowding on the more popular routes.
Did You Know?
The origin of the name Kilimanjaro is hotly disputed. Kilima is Swahili for hill, but njaro could derive from the Chagga word for a trade caravan, a Maasai word meaning water, or the name of a Swahili ice demon.
