Kilimanjaro weather
You can plan and prepare to climb during the best time – and that is hugely important – but you can never control Mother Nature.
Kilimanjaro is a mountain which experiences the whole range of weather conditions, which is part of its fascination. Of course, although you can’t control the weather, you can be prepared to deal with every situation you might face – and Easy Travel is here to help you!
Kilimanjaro zones
Here’s something you may not have considered, something fascinating that gives Kilimanjaro a uniqueness that adds to its magical character. Climate zones!
Yes, there are no fewer than five very different climate or ecological zones to encounter as you progress up Africa’s highest mountain. Let Easy Travel explain their characteristics to you!
Daily schedule
Perhaps you are a real creature of routine, perhaps you like everything to run to a fixed schedule in your everyday life? On Kilimanjaro, each day is slightly different – so prepare to be adaptable.
Do take time to read the detail about the daily schedules, particularly about the ‘summit day.’ It all helps to get you excited about this ‘climb-of-a-lifetime.’

Daypack & gear
As they carry most of your gear, Easy Travel’s tough porters do the real hard graft, from the foot of the mountain to the summit. But you will want to know how big your own daypack should be and what to put in it.
Guess what? Easy Travel can help you. Our many years of experience let us know exactly what you might need…and exactly what you do not need.
Tents & huts
After a tough day’s trekking, where you will sleep is very important indeed. The answer is ‘in a tent,’ unless you choose the Marangu Route, which is the only route with mountain huts.
But what are the tents like? Are they secure? And are they comfortable? Who will you share with? This section is where you can find out everything you need to know!
Trail conditions
You’ve probably never climbed a mountain this high before, so you will not know what to expect underfoot. Perhaps you have heard about the famous Barranco Wall? Or want to know how the weather affects the trail conditions?
We are here to help. You will certainly have questions, and this is where we answer them
