Climb Mount Kilimanjaro: A Life-Changing Experience

Rising 5,895 meters (19,341 feet) above sea level, Mount Kilimanjaro is Africa's tallest peak and the highest free-standing mountain in the world. Climbing Kilimanjaro is a profound personal achievement — and no two journeys are alike. With Everyday Safaris, we ensure your climb is safe, memorable, and ethically guided by experienced professionals.

Our guided climbs include:

  • All major Kilimanjaro routes: Marangu, Machame, Lemosho, Rongai, and Northern Circuit



  • Expert mountain guides trained in high-altitude first aid



  • Professional support teams, including porters and cooks



  • Pre-climb briefings and acclimatization strategies



  • High-quality camping gear and nutritious meals



Whether you're a solo traveler or joining a group, we customize your climb to your preferences and physical ability. But timing is everything — and understanding the best time to climb Kilimanjaro is key to your success.

Best Time to Climb Kilimanjaro: Choose the Right Season

Kilimanjaro can be climbed year-round, but weather conditions vary significantly depending on the season. To increase your chances of a successful and enjoyable summit, we recommend climbing during the dry seasons.

January to Mid-March

This is one of the best times to climb Kilimanjaro, offering relatively warm weather, clear skies, and lower rainfall. Trails are less crowded compared to summer months. The scenery is breathtaking, especially on the Machame and Lemosho routes, where the lush rainforest transitions beautifully into alpine desert.

June to October

This is the most popular time for climbing, coinciding with the dry season and peak safari season in Tanzania. Conditions on the mountain are generally stable, though temperatures can be colder, especially near the summit. Expect more climbers during this period, particularly in July and August.

April to May & November (Rainy Seasons)

We generally advise against climbing during the long rains (April-May) and short rains (November). Trails can become muddy and visibility limited. However, for experienced trekkers looking for solitude and lush landscapes, these months can offer a unique perspective — but with increased challenges.

In summary, the best time to climb Kilimanjaro is January to mid-March and June to October, balancing weather, crowd levels, and summit success rates.

Explore the Wild Heart of Africa: Serengeti National Park

After conquering Kilimanjaro, the adventure continues in the Serengeti, Tanzania's most iconic national park. Spanning 14,750 square kilometers, the Serengeti is home to the Great Migration, one of the greatest wildlife spectacles on Earth. Over two million wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles move in search of greener pastures, pursued by predators like lions, cheetahs, and crocodiles.

Everyday Safaris provides expertly guided game drives that bring you face-to-face with Africa's raw, untamed beauty. You'll enjoy:

  • Early morning and sunset safaris for optimal sightings



  • Comfortable 4x4 safari vehicles



  • Luxury or mid-range safari lodges and tented camps

Pairing a Serengeti safari with a Kilimanjaro climb offers the ultimate balance of challenge and relaxation.
