What time of year is best for Kilimanjaro Safari?

April to June. There is a chance of heavy rain during this period and showers can be expected for a few hours most days. Particularly during April and May the parks are fairly empty and accommodation costs are often quite a bit lower. However, this time actually offers the finest game viewing opportunities of the year.

However, although these are considered to be the best times to climb the mountain in terms of weather, they are also the busiest months.
