Origin of the name Kilimanjaro in the “Chagga tribe “language, “Njaro,” or the second half of Kilimanjaro’s name, means “whiteness.” Added to the Swahili term, we get “Kilimanjaro,” or “white mountain,” which perfectly describes the volcanic range’s snow-covered mountain peaks.

THE BEST TIME TO CLIMB KILIMANJARO

We generally advise that the best time to climb Kilimanjaro is during the warmest and driest times of year, from December to mid-March and mid-June to the end of October. However, although these are considered to be the best times to climb the mountain in terms of weather, they are also the busiest months

  It takes five to nine days in order to reach the Mount Kilimanjaro Summit and then descend to the finishing point. The more days spent on Mount Kilimanjaro the more likely you will successfully summit, as you will become more acclimatized to the altitude and will be less fatigued.
