There are two distinct trekking seasons which constitute the best time to climb Kilimanjaro. They are January-March and June-October.

The June-October trekking season coincides with the summer holidays in Europe and N.America and hence certain routes are often quite busy.
March, April and November are the wettest months on Kilimanjaro, and not ideal of trekking.
Snow fall and cold temperatures are common during December-May.
