KILIMANJARO ACTIVE GROUP JOINING CLIMBS-2023-2024

Kilimanjaro group climbs are great if you are travelling solo, or just wish to experience Mount Kilimanjaro climb with other travellers from around the world.
All group climbs are guaranteed to depart regardless of the number of participants.
Your trip will never be cancelled, and you will never be asked to pay more, even if you are the only person booked on this climb.
We climb Mount Kilimanjaro every day of the year and we can schedule a climb with just 2 days’ notice for any booking group size. However, many climbers particularly those travelling solo – prefer to join others who have already booked.
THE BEST MONTHS TO CLIMB KILIMANJARO.
Normally March, April, and May are the months with long rains and should be avoided.
November is usually short rain but it does not often rain all day so Climbing is possible.
The best Months for climbing Mount Kilimanjaro are January, February, and also August and September.
July can be colder and November to December can be wet.
January to February is the warmest month, almost clear of clouds each evening and morning.
The success rates with our guides are outstanding compared to the overall success rates for all climbers who attempt to reach the top.
Our trips are for active, flexible-minded people who enjoy the unusual and adventurous.
For trips that have an emphasis on mountain climbing, you need to remember that even the easiest trekking involves some exertion, so you should be reasonably fit and sure that you will enjoy the activity.
