SIGNATURE SAFARI: EVERY TRIP IS UNIQUE.

Ascending Mount Kilimanjaro Is Feasible All Year Round, Although The Optimal Period To Undertake The Expedition Is During The Dry Season, Usually From Late June To October.

WHEN TO CLIMB MOUNT KILIMANJARO

You’ve finally decided to take on the ultimate challenge of conquering the towering peak of the highest free-standing mountain on Earth. Additionally, it’s important to be aware of the optimal timing for ascending Kilimanjaro. Kilimanjaro is accessible for climbing throughout the year. But keep in mind that certain months can bring chilly temperatures, precipitation, and unpredictable conditions. We suggest considering climbing Kilimanjaro during the dry and warm seasons for a more enjoyable experience

High-Season Versus Low-Season Ascents

The experience of climbing Kilimanjaro during the high season differs significantly from the low season. Let us comprehend the distinction:

high season climbs: mid-december to march, mid-june to october

Climbers can expect bright, clear skies, comfortable temperatures, and perfect hiking conditions.
Given its popularity, this period sees an increase in climbers, so early booking is necessary.

low season ascents: april, may, and november

The quieter months provide a more lonely trekking experience, but they also provide obstacles. Expect unexpected rain showers and changing weather conditions

Whether you value steady weather and friendship or solitude in potentially inclement conditions more will determine your decision between high and low-season climbs.

These months see some rainfall, mainly in the moorland and rainforest regions. But the weather conditions are characteristically dry. The scenery is also breathtaking during this time of year.

WHAT OUR CLINTS SAY

I am not even sure where to start because everything was beyond perfect. Customer service was the best. The entire team took extremely good care of us. We hiked and in one day we saw a lot of chimpanzees in the park. Juma organized it on very short notice and Abbas is very knowledgeable about the park and took us to the best routes. Thanks a lot, guys!

I did a 3-days-2-nights trekking with We Cab Tours in Gombe National park. What can I say? Asante sana! The trip was just super perfect! I saw many chimpanzees (it’s not guaranteed for sure because as you know how wildlife is sometimes). BUT I did it in the end of March when officially is off-season and I still saw them. The weather was really good too. Juma, the owner and his employees are super nice people. I always felt safe and understood. Moreover everything was on time what is really rare to get – believe me. I would do it with this organization again for sure! And I will do some other trips when I am again in Tanzania

Juma, thank you for your hospitality and flexibility during our travel to Zanzibar. I had an amazing and beautiful experience because of your team. Your team arrived early at the RUI to pack our luggage in the van and patiently waited until we were ready to leave the hotel as were saying goodbye to our friends we met on the trip. I appreciate the time you took on our last day of the visit in Stone town prior to leaving for the airport. You helped us negotiate our fabrics and clothing so that we received the best price

Juma, Makame, Brendah and the We Cab family were the absolute best! They treated us like family, they were on time for every day we booked. They want out of their way to provide the best experience. When we booked the “scary ferry” ride to Dar es Salem, we were treated to a complimentary upgrade. We missed the stop in Nairobi where we were supposed to give donations to an orphanage and they made sure to find a reputable one in Zanzibar, and had one of their guides Brendah, translate on our behalf. I truly felt more like family than a client. I will definitely return to Zanzibar and use We Cab for all my transportation and tour needs.
