Traveller notes on Amboseli in June
Notes from nearby Moshi (78 km away)
Amboseli doesn't have its own notes for June yet — these are about Moshi, close enough to share the season.
Moshi's forum calls June a good month for a Kilimanjaro climb — the dry season is settling in, and regulars say the fresh snow left over from April/May's rains makes the summit look spectacular if you go early in the month. It's a shoulder month for crowds too, with noticeably fewer climbers on routes like Lemosho than in peak season.
Other months in Amboseli
Amboseli's forum calls July excellent for game viewing — the dry season pulls wildlife in close around the few remaining watering holes, with cool mornings giving way to warm, sunny days. Regulars still recommend a warm layer for early drives and evenings, since it gets genuinely cool once the sun's not directly overhead.
