Trekking in Africa is a unique experience. Tanzania’s mighty Kilimanjaro is a must-see. The tallest mountain in Africa is both tough and stunning. The best trekking times for mount Kilimanjaro is during the dry season i.e. the late June, and through July which is usually very cold at night but clear of cloud, August and September are also good times that can have completely clear days, but usually a dripping cloud belt girdles the mountain above the forest moorland, the summit can be totally clear.

The shorter rainy period of October to December often has thunderstorms that pass over the mountain, dropping rains as they go, so the cloud disappear in the evening leaving the nights and morning very clear with excellent visibility of nature.
