KILIMANJARO.

The warmest months with the clearest trekking days, are from mid to late December, January, February, September and October. The rains often come in April and the start of May with the possibility of some snow.

June through to August are superb trekking months, though evening temperatures tend to be colder. The wettest months, are November and early December, where snow falls are likely. Note however, that as this is a mountain it is not impossible to get sporadic snow or rainfall at odd times throughout the year.

Many people like to arrange their summit around a full moon and Christmas and New Year are very popular

The Umbwe Route, followed by the Western Breach, is undoubtedly the most exciting route to the top of Kilimanjaro that does not require the use of ropes. It avoids the crowds on the well-trodden tourist trail from Marangu, which is used by the vast majority of people who attempt the mountain. Unlike, the usual dash up the Marangu route, our 6 days on the mountain allow us to experience this immaculate and inaccessible environment whilst gradually acclimatising our bodies to the higher altitude. We camp in high quality British tents and eat fresh, local food prepared by our Tanzanian cook staff.

This is a fairly short expedition that is geared to providing you with the maximum chance of success on Kilimanjaro. However, if you would like to remain in Africa for a few days longer, we can easily make arrangements for a wildlife safari to any one of the nearby game reserves. If this is of interest, please let us know in good time, as international flights will need to be re-arranged accordingly.

Kilimanjaro can be viewed from Amboseli Game Reserve in Kenya. Elephants migrate from Kilimanjaro to Amboseli or either way.
