Kilimanjaro may be climbed at any time of year. The two dry seasons, from June to October and January to mid-March, are the best periods to climb Kilimanjaro. The short dry season, which runs from January to mid-March, provides a brighter sky and warmer temperatures. It comes to an end in mid-March, when the rains get stronger and the lengthy wet season begins, lasting until May. The lengthy dry season, which lasts from June to October, is also an excellent time to climb Kilimanjaro. There is less rain at this time of year, but there are more people. In November/December, it gradually gives place to the brief rainy season.
