Traveller notes on Moshi in February
Other months in Moshi
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.
