Headed to a Kilimanjaro Trek & Safari (11 days) sometime between 21 Sep. to 22 Oct.

Wife and I are going provided butt heads at work can figure out their schedule enough in advance for us to make reservations.
We live at 5,200', regularly backpack and ski at 9-12,000', and frequently hike to above 14,000'. 17,000' will be a challenge, but we intend to do our best.
My concerns are security. Moon phase for the "Day 7" summit and descent. Rainy season and the hoards of insects that follow. Disease prevention.
Moon phase & weather in Tanzania 26-26 Sep., 3-4 Oct., or 17-18 Oct.
Any advice, thoughts, opinions are welcome.
A Pineland flag might be nice to fly from the summit...
