Full Moon Dates & Times on Mt. Kilimanjaro

TO SUMMIT DURING A FULL MOON:

A 7-day climb should start 5 days prior to the full moon. It is necessary to summit on the exact full moon date to take advantage of the moonlight. A summit on the day before/after is also beneficial. We offer several group climbs with full moon summits every month during the dry season. The dates tend to be the first to book fully well in advance.

Feel inspired? E-Mail us now to book your space on the full moon summit solo/group climbs!

In the table provided below all the timings are in local time which is EAT (GMT+3)

When the peak of Kilimanjaro and magnificent glaciers are lit up by the full moon, the view is absolutely stunning. For this reason alone, some climbers schedule their trek to coincide with this celestial event, occurring once a month. However, a practical reason for climbing at these times is that a bright moon along with a clear sky will improve your visibility throughout your climb, and most importantly, during the summit attempt.

For those who favor a less crowded climb, avoid the full moon completely as these dates attract many climbers. Another method of dodging crowds is to choose an "off" day of departure. Most climbers will begin their climbs on Saturday, Sunday or Monday, with routes lasting 6 to 7 days. We have many clients who climb with or without the full moon, and clients are equally satisfied with either itinerary.
