With just over 7 weeks to go until we step into a New Year (crazy – I know!), now is the perfect time to start planning your 2016 Kilimanjaro Climb, and if you want to make your trip to the Roof of Africa even more memorable and spectacular, we highly recommend that you coordinate your trip to coincide with the Full Moon.

Having climbed Kilimanjaro twice, once under a full moon and once under the Total Lunar Eclipse, we can assure you that you will not be disappointed, and with the soft moonlight to guide your way to Uhuru Peak, you can remove those annoying headlamps and appreciate the true beauty of the midnight sky and its abundance of stars as you make your way up, up, up!

While many budget operators offer Kilimanjaro Group Climbs on full moon dates, they can be somewhat overcrowded and impersonal, so check out some of the great value Private Kilimanjaro Full Moon Tours on offer, you’ll be surprised to find just how competitively priced they are.
