During a full moon, you’ll hike the final push to Uhuru Peak with minimal need for headlamps, making it easier to navigate and soak in the breathtaking views of the glaciers, crater, and surrounding plains, illuminated by moonlight

Stunning Views: Capture magical photos of the glaciers shimmering in moonlight.

At Hike Kilimanjaro, we offer both group joining treks and private climbs during full moon dates. Group treks are perfect for solo travellers or small parties looking to share the experience and cost. Private full moon treks are best for those wanting more flexibility, privacy, or personalized service.
