There are two main climbing seasons which are generally considered the most favorable time to climb Kilimanjaro; these are January to March and June to October.
January-March is generally dry but a little bit colder during the evening and early morning compares to June-October at this time there is higher possibility of encountering snow on the summit.
June-October climbing season is the longest dry season and most favorable climbing time and it coincides with the summer holidays in Europe and North America and hence certain routes are often quite busy.
March, April and November are the wettest months on Kilimanjaro and theoretically not ideal for climbing for hiker with less experience in mountain environment and altitude sickness although it’s climbing season with larger discount in pricing
NB – However, since the mountain creates its own weather and conditions can change rapidly, regardless of the season, you should be properly prepared for all conditions, no matter which time of the year you choose to climb.
