September on Kilimanjaro is often regarded as the best time to climb, thanks to its warmer weather, especially at higher elevations above 5, 000 meters. This month combines clear skies and fantastic mountain views, enhancing the overall trekking experience. While it's one of the busiest times on the mountain, the conditions make for a comfortable and rewarding climb. The slightly increased number of climbers is balanced by the beauty and warmth of the environment, making it a favourite for many.
The climate in September on Kilimanjaro offers daytime temperatures around 28°C and cooler nights at 15°C. With an average rainfall of just about 10 mm, the trails are drier, enhancing the hiking experience. Clear skies provide excellent visibility for breathtaking views, especially at higher elevations. However, climbers should be prepared for the increased number of fellow trekkers on the popular routes.
For climbers in September, it’s advisable to opt for a longer acclimatization program, such as 8 days, to increase success rates and enjoy the journey more comfortably. This approach helps in managing the busier trails and enjoying the splendid weather and views.
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)
