A Trekker’s Dream and Wildlife Haven

Mount Kilimanjaro, the continent’s highest peak, offers the most iconic trekking adventures. Kilimanjaro attracts adventurers worldwide with its scenic trails and accessible routes. With our Kilimanjaro travel guide climbing packages, you will be fully prepared to summit safely and confidently. Despite its height, Kilimanjaro requires no technical climbing skills, making it a challenge accessible to determined adventurers with good fitness. The trekkers pass through five distinct climate zones, ranging from tropical rainforest to arctic summit, offering breathtaking scenery and a rich biodiversity. 

The Best Time to Climb Mount Kilimanjaro

The best time to climb Mount Kilimanjaro is from Late December to early March and mid-June to late October. It was when the weather on Kilimanjaro remained ideal. Generally, rain begins in the latter half of the day. It enables trekkers an essential window of clear weather every day during the rainy season. There are days without any rain. You will read more regarding the seasons of Kilimanjaro. 

What to Pack for Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro?

The Kilimanjaro trek takes you through five climatic zones from tropical forests to Arctic conditions. The temperature ranges from -15 degrees centigrade (5 degrees Ferheinhite at the summit at night) to +20 degrees Celsius at the base. The weather remains unpredictable, with sunshine quickly turning to rain or wind and back again. For a comfortable trek, you will need proper clothing, suitable footwear, a sleeping bag, trekking poles, and other essential items.

How Should I Train to Climb Kilimanjaro?

A moderate fitness level is critical to a comfortable and successful Kilimanjaro climb. It means you are able to run 5 kilometres without any difficulty and hike 10 kilometres in a day. The best ways to train include swimming, cycling, running, and hiking.

Climbing Experience of Mt Kilimanjaro

It isn’t just a hike; instead, it is a high-altitude adventure packed with ultimate action, emotion, and wild scenery.  One day, you will take a walk under the giant tree, the next, you crunch through the icy paths. 

It is the altitude that kicks in, and focus always sharpens out, and the summit feels within reach and both distant. With our experienced team beside you, the energy stays high, and the momentum never fades. It is raw, honest, and life-changing.

Scenic Beauty

The mountain is about 130km from Arusha and just one hour from the Kilimanjaro International Airport. We mostly match climbers with routes that balance scenery, acclimatisation, and summit success—guided by experience, not shortcuts. 

It experiences average rainfall and temperatures that vary depending on the season. However, at any point of the year, climbers are advised to prepare for both warm and cold weather, as well as for rain and dry conditions.

Flora & Fauna

Kilimanjaro is comprised of five distinct ecological zones ranging from lush, humid rainforest to alpine desert and, eventually, the famous arctic summit. As you pass through these different zones, you can see a range of interesting and rare flora and fauna, including colobus monkeys and the endemic impatiens kilimanjari plant.
