Hiking the Kilimanjaro is a great experience but even better summiting under a full moon when the peak and glaciers are lit up with the moonlight as a result the views are stunning; see Kilimanjaro full moon dates 2021 2022 below
With hike enthusiasts planning their trek to coincide with this celestial event occurring once a month, we have made an effort to provide dates when the event is expected to happen (also see the best Kilimanjaro climbing route for you)
why full moon dates?
- Stunning and spectacular views, with the peak lit up the views on the mountain are incredible
- Moonlight aide, the majority of the trek takes place during the day and it is only the summit attempt that starts at mid night so as to reach the summit at sunrise. A summit attempt done during the full moon could be easier since you won’t need your head lamp in the bright moonlight
