Best Time To Travel

The best time to travel to climb Kilimanjaro/Mount Meru is during the dry season – from December to mid March, and from late June to October. The best months are January, February, July, August, September and October.

Generally the following seems quite common: From mid december to mid of march you will get a dry but also very cold season (On the mountain!). That in specific means, snow is most likely your companion, but at least on the peak. The advantage of this season is obvious: less travelers.

The rain season starts very rough during March and continues over April, from time to time till mid of may. We know people who got their best experience traveling to Mount Meru during the German Pentecost holidays, which was from mid of may till end of may. Our guests were the only ones on the mountain, the only guests on the peak, and the only guests in the cottages. THIS cannot be more private than anything else. So it’s definitely worth thinking about it.

The dry and “warm” season on the mountains starts then from June with their peak of the season in August and September and runs till October. You can expect around 5 degrees on the top of Africa, snow also because of the glacier, but the paths were free to go and without snow at all. This time means one slice of clothes less than in Q1 of a year.

November is another month with rain. So we would not suggest book tours during this time of a season. It’s possible but not really recommended.

In the following graphik you can see pictures from our guides during the whole year, so you can get a nice impression. No guarantee (for sure), but nice to get an idea of the weather. We also recommend taking a look into our realtime ”Picture of the day” rubric, where our guides show the weather on the TOP of Africa on a daily basis.

Our Social Projects

Children Education

Children in Tanzania have the choice of three different school systems: Public, Private, International. Depending on the salary of the parents they will choose the future education of their children, which is mostly the free version of a public school. Public schools teach their children only in Swahili, and offer 1 subject in english. Private schools, on the contrary, teach all subjects in English and only 1 subject in Swahili. School fees were around 2mio TZS/year, which is around 660$. Locals were rarely able to afford the money for international schools (20.000-30.000$/year). This mostly is only a chance for rich people. Education is the most important good (next to healthiness) which prepares the children for a better future. That’s why we use your donations for children to provide them with a good education and pay their fees. Thank you so much for your donation and support!

Adult Education

If you ever had the chance to speak to a mountain Crew and ask them what is their personal biggest wish, then it would be to have an option for a better personal education, starting to learn another language. All of them started as a porter, did this heavy job for several years. If you were lucky and could pay for example taking German lessons in school to learn the language better, you will have the chance to get promoted to be a Guide. So we decided to support “Adult education” by providing an opportunity to learn the language of their choice. All guides speak fluent English, some of them speak good german.

Employee Healthiness

In Tanzania there is no chance to afford health insurance with the little budget the locals earn. Unfortunately, this is only a privilege for the fewest. For this reason, the crew collects a certain amount from everyone after each tour to save it for the community: In the event of an accident, or a necessary visit to the doctor by any team member, the team sticks together and donates the necessary money to make it possible. We want to make our contribution here and, with your help, enable our team to invest in their own health and make simple visits to the doctor possible.

Street dogs

Those whose heart beats for animals will see a lot in Tanzania. Street dogs on street dogs, emaciated and almost every female has puppies or will have them soon because there are simply no castrations here. The dogs don't belong to anyone and so nobody cares about them. A few households keep dogs as ‘pets’, but they are only used to guard the house and yard. They are kept in kennels during the day and let loose at night to keep watch. We support street dogs with high-quality food and thus help at least the puppies to become strong and vigorous.

 Verified The 7 days were not just a trek, it was a journey of friendship and determination. Asante Sana Peaks team 🙏 7 days on Kilimanjaro's Machame Route with a good hiking organizer African Peaks. Our 7 days were the most rewarding days of our lives. Our guides and porters were our heroes, leading the way and cheering us on every step. We faced dusty trails, steep climbs, and high altitude, but we also experienced beautiful sunsets, delicious camp meals, and positive energy all around us. The final push to the summit was the hardest thing we've ever done. But the moment we reached that Uhuru Peak sign, exhaustion disappeared and happiness took over. We cried, laughed, and felt so proud. We felt every day a new chapter-new challenges but also new joys.

 Verified The best adventures of my life. I had a strong desire to do Kilimanjaro adventure. So I chose African Peaks, and they suggested me to join one of their groups. And I agreed & It was definitely the right decision and they were the right choice for me. Before climbing Kilimanjaro, I underestimated the challenge. It is really difficult to describe the experience I had there. They played a very important role in making the whole trek very easy and memorable with their amazing guides.

 Verified Really we'll never forget their kindness. African Peaks their stuff, porters, guide, cooked warm meals, providing lively cooperation and emotional support. We took the Rongai route, 7 days on the mountain. The first couple of days were almost easy, walking through forest, birds, open sky. But the higher we went, the more it felt like our body didn’t want to listen to me anymore. Breathing got harder, every step heavier. However, during our camp stay, we felt a lot of relief from the environment and the clean air. This is a best of my life. The views changed every day, we went from forest to desert to snow. Summit day was hell, I won’t lie. But when we got to Uhuru Peak, the energy, the hugs, were worth every struggle. Always remembered this journey.

 Verified Our 4 day safari experience was mind blowing. Our 4-day safari in Tanzania with African Peaks was pure adventure. Every day felt like a new story about elephants under baobab trees, lions in the Serengeti, and that jaw-dropping view over Ngorongoro Crater. Day 4 took us from the Serengeti towards the Ngorongoro Crater. The drive itself was beautiful, passing Maasai villages and rolling hills. When we reached the crater rim and looked down, it felt like staring into another world. That evening, the cold breeze up there hit us hard, but it was worth every shiver for the view. Sitting around the fire with my cousins, laughing under the stars while hyenas called in the distance. It felt real, raw, and unforgettable.

 Verified Our 8-day emotional adventure experience via Northern Circuit. The 8-day Northern Circuit climb was an incredible journey both physically and emotionally for us with African Peaks. It was very challenging for us and we were beautifully successful for their inspiration and support . The route felt remote and peaceful, giving us time to connect with nature without big crowds around. The crew was amazing, carrying heavy loads, setting up camp, and still smiling every single day. The trek was tough long hours of walking and the cold nights tested my endurance-but every challenge was worth it when we stood at Uhuru Peak. I’ll always remember the sense of accomplishment and the bond formed with my climbing group

 Verified Excellent & qualified mountain guide Elia was one of my mountain guides when I climbed Kilimandscharo. He is not only absolutely well educated but also extremly careful while hiking. I felt safe all times. I recommend him 100%. He is also interested to listen if you want to share private stories of your life. Always with a smile on his face, he made this trip to the top of Kilimandscharo very special! I‘m still in contact with him - let‘s call it a friendship!
