Full Moon Dates on Mt Kilimanjaro
To summit on a full moon:
To maximize the enchanting experience of summiting Mount Kilimanjaro during a full moon, we recommend beginning the 7-day climb five days before the anticipated full moon date. Attaining the summit precisely on the night of the full moon is essential, allowing climbers to immerse themselves in the ethereal radiance of the moonlight. Even a summit on the day prior or following the full moon promises an extraordinary adventure. Our monthly group climbs during the dry season are meticulously scheduled to coincide with the full moon summits. These highly sought-after dates tend to be the first to secure bookings well in advance.

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.
