How timing can affect your experience:

  • When planning your expedition up Kilimanjaro the experience on the mountain can be influenced by the date that you choose. 
  • Traveling in the “off season” might cause you to travel in bad weather conditions
  • Traveling on a supreme departure date will offer you a full moon on your summit night
  • Traveling in the beginning or middle of a high season will increase the number of hikers on the mountain, arriving in Moshi on a Saturday or Sunday will have the same effect in a high season
  • Adding an extra day on the mountain will assist you with acclimatizing better on the mountain. 

The route that you will take will also influence your experience on the mountain.  If you are not sure when or on which route you would like to go we will gladly assist you in this matter.
