Trek overview
Want a unique Kilimanjaro adventure? The Northern Circuit might be perfect for you! This newer route starts like the Lemosho Route, approaching the mountain from the west. But get this – instead of going south, the Northern Circuit goes all around Kilimanjaro on the quieter northern slopes, offering incredible views you won’t find anywhere else!
Taking 9 days, it’s the longest route, but also one of the least crowded. Plus, the extra time helps your body get used to the high altitude, making it a great choice for first-time climbers.
