Tour Overview

The Northern Circuit Route on Mount Kilimanjaro offers an unforgettable trekking experience. This relatively new and less-traveled route climbs the mountain’s scenic and tranquil western slopes, providing trekkers with the opportunity to experience nearly the entire mountain before reaching the summit. Known for its breathtaking views and peaceful surroundings, the Northern Circuit is one of the most picturesque routes on Kilimanjaro, with very few other groups on the northern face.
The 8-day Northern Circuit Route is the long and most scenic path to the summit, offering exceptional 360-degree views and ample time for acclimatization, which contributes to a higher summit success rate. Starting at Londorossi Gate, the route follows a counterclockwise path around the mountain, taking climbers through diverse landscapes that range from lush rainforests and moorlands to alpine deserts.
As the least crowded route, the Northern Circuit provides a tranquil and immersive trekking experience, with stunning vistas of the northern slopes—sights that are rarely seen from other routes. The extended duration and gradual ascent make this route ideal for those seeking a more relaxed climb with a high success rate, as well as those who want to truly immerse themselves in the beauty and serenity of Kilimanjaro.
