Kilimanjaro Northern Circuit Route
Tanzania
10 days
Difficulty:Strenuous
Skill:Beginner
Group size:16Highlights
The Northern Circuit is the newest route for summiting Mount Kilimanjaro. It’s also the longest route on the mountain and the only route that allows you to see Mount Kilimanjaro from all four sides. Sometimes it's mistaken to be the easiest route due to more trekking days and a relaxed pace. It’s true that this trail offers good acclimatization without very challenging daily transitions. However, if you don't have experience with long hiking trips, the 8-day journey may be more fatiguing compared to shorter routes.
Kilimanjaro Northern Circuit stands out as a route with a great acclimatization profile, breathtaking views, and off-the-beaten-path trails. Being the least frequented trail for climbing Kilimanjaro, the Northern Circuit route is perfect for travelers seeking a more private climb without crowds.
