Mountain Kilimanjaro Weather

The short answer is that Mount Kilimanjaro temperatures range from hot to bitter cold. Climbing Kilimanjaro is unique for many reasons, including weaving through several distinct climate zones from origin to summit.

It is said that the journey from the gate to the peak is like travelling from the equator to Antarctica in days! Mount Kilimanjaro has five major ecological zones, each approximately 3,280 feet (1,000 m) high. Each zone experiences a corresponding decrease in rainfall, temperature and flora/fauna as the altitude increases.
