Climbing Kilimanjaro in November
Climbing Kilimanjaro in November Overview
November is part of Tanzania’s short rainy season, making it a less popular but still possible time to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. The weather during this month is more unpredictable, with increased chances of rain and cloud cover. However, November offers quieter trails and fewer crowds, providing a more peaceful climbing experience. For adventurers who are well-prepared and don’t mind occasional rain, November can be a unique and rewarding time to summit Africa’s highest peak.

Weather and Climbing Conditions in November
In November 2025, Kilimanjaro experiences warmer daytime temperatures at lower elevations, ranging from 20-25°C (68-77°F), while nighttime temperatures at higher altitudes can drop to -5°C (23°F) or lower. Rainfall is more frequent, particularly in the afternoons, which can make trails muddy and slippery. Cloud cover may reduce visibility, but mornings often remain clear, offering opportunities for enjoyable trekking. Climbers should be prepared for wet and cold conditions, with waterproof clothing, sturdy hiking boots, and gear to stay warm and dry.

Benefits and Tips for Climbing Kilimanjaro in November
Climbing Kilimanjaro in November is best suited for experienced adventurers who are comfortable with challenging weather and less crowded trails. The lush, green scenery and serene atmosphere can be rewarding for those who embrace the adventure. To improve your chances of success, choose a route with better acclimatization, such as the 7-day Machame Route or the 8-day Lemosho Route. Ensure you have high-quality rain gear, waterproof bags, and warm layers to handle the wet and cold conditions. While November is not the easiest time to climb, it offers a unique and memorable experience for those seeking a less-traveled path.
