Kilimanjaro full moon dates 2025
Kilimanjaro full moon dates 2025 and 2024. Summiting the mountain on a cloudless evening is a memorable experience. However summiting under a full moon, with the glaciers glittering in the moonlight, is a unique experience. Full moon hikes are a popular and unique way to summit the mountain. The majority of the hike takes place during the day, with only the final summit starting at midnight. The goal starting at midnight, is to reach the summit by sunrise.
Because of the popularity of Kilimanjaro, the mountain is normally busier during full moon periods. Because of this do we recommend that you plan and book well in advance to make sure there will be availability. We recommend that you book the hike to coincide with the short or long dry seasons. By choosing to hike during the dry seasons, you increase your chance of having good weather and clear skies, while enjoying the full moon.
