Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s tallest peak, invites climbers year-round, but the best times are January to March and June to October during the dry seasons. Rising majestically from the Tanzanian plains, its unique allure lies in its snow-capped summit juxtaposed against equatorial African landscapes. Kilimanjaro’s history is steeped in local legend and lore, with its first recorded ascent in 1889 by Hans Meyer and Ludwig Purtscheller. Today, it remains a symbol of human endeavor and natural wonder.
