Embark on an unforgettable 9-day adventure with the Northern Circuit Route to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro. Renowned for its diverse ecosystems, stunning landscapes, and spectacular views, the Northern Circuit offers a less-crowded alternative to other routes, making it ideal for those seeking a remote and immersive Kilimanjaro experience.
Starting in the lush rainforest, you’ll traverse through moorlands, alpine deserts, and finally, the arctic zone as you approach the summit. The Northern Circuit is unique due to its longer duration, which ensures a slower ascent, offering more time for acclimatization, and a higher chance of summit success.
Over the course of 9 days, you’ll experience some of Kilimanjaro's most stunning landscapes, including the famous Shira Plateau and the wild, less-explored northern slopes. The route offers a true wilderness experience, with fewer climbers and breathtaking views at every stage of the journey.
Led by our expert guides, you’ll be accompanied every step of the way to ensure your safety and success. The Northern Circuit is perfect for climbers who want a unique and rewarding adventure that takes them off the beaten path, offering tranquility, stunning vistas, and the ultimate goal of reaching Uhuru Peak, Africa’s highest point.
