Traveller notes on Moshi in November
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.

Chagga coffee harvest
1 Aug – 30 Nov · usuallyThe smallholdings on the lower slopes above Moshi pick from about August, and the co-operative walks around Machame and Marangu are worth doing then rather than the rest of the year.
