Climbing Kilimanjaro in December
Embark on a Breathtaking Adventure: Climbing Kilimanjaro in December with Safari Multiways
Are you ready to step out of the ordinary and dive into the extraordinary? Imagine celebrating your holiday season atop the highest peak in Africa, surrounded by snow-capped vistas and clear, starlit skies. December is a magical time to climb Mount Kilimanjaro, and Safari Multiways, your premier tour operator based in Tanzania, is here to guide you through this unforgettable adventure.
Why Climb Kilimanjaro in December?
1. Favorable Weather Conditions:
December marks the beginning of the short dry season on Kilimanjaro, offering clear mornings and evenings, with occasional brief showers that bring the landscape to life. The weather is generally mild, and the views are spectacular, making it an ideal time for photography enthusiasts and nature lovers.
2. Celebrate the Holidays on the Summit:
What could be more unique than spending Christmas or New Year’s Eve on the summit of Kilimanjaro? Imagine ringing in the new year above the clouds, a truly exhilarating experience that you will cherish for a lifetime.
3. Quieter Trails:
While Kilimanjaro is a popular destination year-round, December is often less crowded than the peak months. This gives you a more serene experience and personal space to enjoy the journey at your own pace.
4. Witness Diverse Ecosystems:
Climbing Kilimanjaro is like traversing from the equator to the Arctic. Starting from lush rainforests, you’ll journey through moorlands, alpine deserts, and finally the arctic summit. Each zone offers unique flora and fauna, making it a botanist’s and zoologist’s paradise.
Choosing Your Route with Safari Multiways
At Safari Multiways, we offer various routes to the summit, each providing a unique perspective of this majestic mountain:
1. Marangu Route: Known as the “Coca-Cola” route, this is the only route with hut accommodations, making it a comfortable option for those who prefer a less rugged experience. It’s also the most straightforward route, suitable for beginners.
2. Machame Route: For the more adventurous, the Machame route is known as the “Whiskey” route. It’s slightly more challenging but rewards climbers with its scenic beauty and higher success rates due to better acclimatization opportunities.
3. Lemosho Route: If you’re looking for a truly immersive experience, the Lemosho route is your best pick. It starts off remote and unspoiled, offering a more natural climbing experience. It merges with the Machame route, so you won’t miss out on the camaraderie with other climbers.
4. Rongai Route: The only route that approaches from the north, near the Kenyan border, the Rongai route is quieter and more remote. It’s also considered one of the easier routes, with a gradual ascent.
