April on Kilimanjaro is marked by its wet season, presenting climbers with unique challenges and stunning views when the clouds part. This month is not the most popular for climbing due to the heavy rainfall, but it offers an exclusive experience for those who dare. The Rongai Route, starting from the northern side, is often less affected by the rains, making it a favourable choice. Climbing Kilimanjaro in April is an adventure suited for experienced climbers who are prepared to face the wet conditions and enjoy the tranquillity.
The weather in April on Kilimanjaro is predominantly rainy, with average temperatures around 29°C during the day and 19°C at night. This month experiences the highest rainfall of the year, around 350 mm, leading to wet trails and potentially poor visibility. Despite the challenging conditions, the rain also brings a unique beauty to the mountain, transforming it into a lush, green haven.
However, climbers should be well-prepared with appropriate gear to handle the wet weather and enjoy the distinct experience that April offers. While the weather is challenging, the journey is rewarding for those prepared to tackle these conditions.
The Best time to Climb Mount Kilimanjaro is during the dry seasons: January to mid-March and June to October. These months offer stable weather conditions, enhancing the climb's safety and enjoyment. Clear skies and moderate temperatures make for an ideal journey to Africa's iconic peak.

We (2 adults plus 2 kids aged 9+11) undertook a 10 day trip to Arusha, Lake Eyasi, Ngorongoro, Serengeti, Lake Manyara and Tarangire. We wanted an individual tour which included not only game driving but some insights into socio-cultural life in Tanzania (the kids attended a local school for two days and we wanted to spend some time with the Datoga tribe and bushmen at Lake Eyasi)
