The park's stunning landscapes range from lush rainforests at the lower slopes to the barren, icy expanse near the summit.

Best Time To Visit

The best time to visit Kilimanjaro National Park for trekking and mountaineering is during the dry season, from June to October. This period offers the best weather conditions for hiking, with clear skies, less rainfall, and cooler temperatures. It’s the ideal time for those looking to summit the mountain or enjoy shorter treks at lower altitudes. The wet season, from March to May, brings more rainfall, which can make trekking difficult, especially on the higher routes. However, the lower altitudes are lush and green, making this a great time for nature lovers and birdwatchers. The park is also less crowded during this period, offering a more peaceful experience.
