6 Days Marangu Route Kilimanjaro Climbing in February Weather
February is generally one of the more favorable periods for Kilimanjaro climbing. The lower mountain can experience relatively warm and dry conditions, while higher elevations become progressively colder.
Daytime temperatures on the lower slopes may reach around 21°C, while summit-night temperatures can drop to approximately 0°C to -20°C. Conditions at altitude can change quickly, so appropriate warm clothing and reliable rain protection remain essential.
Even during a generally favorable month, prepare for sunshine, wind, cold temperatures and possible changes in mountain weather.
February Temperatures by Altitude
Lower Slopes and Rainforest
Temperatures in the rainforest can range from approximately 15°C to 25°C during the day. The environment is usually humid, green and comfortable for walking.
Mid-Altitude and Alpine Desert
As you climb higher, temperatures become noticeably colder, especially after sunset. Near-freezing conditions can occur, so warm layers become increasingly important.
Summit Zone
At Uhuru Peak, 5,895 meters above sea level, nighttime temperatures can fall to around -10°C or lower. Strong winds may make the conditions feel considerably colder.
Pack wisely and keep your warmest clothing accessible for summit night.

Kilimanjaro

Today is dedicated to acclimatization. A higher-elevation walk followed by sleeping at a lower altitude gives your body additional time to adjust before the summit stages.
