As per Serac Adventures, Best Time to Hike Kilimanjaro is at its best during the warmest and driest times of the year, from December to mid-March and again from mid-June to the end of October. You will find the Kilimanjaro Hiking Routes to be extremely crowded during these times. Some less busy trek routes such as the Northern Circuit Route, Rongai, or Umbwe route can also be chosen if you wish to avoid the crowd.
