Kilimanjaro Full Moon Dates 2025

If you want to summit Kilimanjaro under a full moon, plan your trek so that your summit attempt (Day 5-6 on Machame Route or Day 6-7 on Lemosho Route) aligns with one of these full moon dates:

Pro Tip: Start your trek 4-6 days before the full moon to align your summit attempt with the brightest night.

Best Kilimanjaro Route for a Full Moon Climb

Machame Route (6 or 7 Days) – Best for Stunning Scenery

One of the most popular routes, offering a good balance of challenge & success rates.
Incredible views of Kilimanjaro’s glaciers under the moonlight.
Requires 6-7 days, making it a great fit for a full moon trek.

Lemosho Route (7 or 8 Days) – Best for Acclimatization

The most scenic route with gradual altitude gain, increasing summit success chances.
Requires 7-8 days, so plan accordingly to reach the summit on the full moon night.

Rongai Route (6 or 7 Days) – Best for Fewer Crowds

The only route approaching from the north, with a quieter, wilderness feel.
