The Northern Circuit Route is the newest of the eight established routes to climb Kilimanjaro. It is also the longest route on the mountain and the only one that allows you to see Kilimanjaro from all four sides.

The Northern Circuit is renowned for its excellent acclimatization profile, breathtaking views, and off-the-beaten-path trails. It is perfect for travelers seeking a more private climb without the crowds.

The route takes you through lush tropical forests with strange and beautiful high-altitude plants, such as the Dendrosenecio kilimanjari, and rewards you with spectacular views of the endless African savannah, southern Kenyan plains, and the volcanic landscapes of Kilimanjaro. At night, you can marvel at the Milky Way, streaked with millions of bright stars.

On summit day, you reach Uhuru Peak and witness a breathtaking sunrise over the iconic glaciers and alpine desert zones near the equator. For the truly adventurous, there is even the option to spend an extra night in the crater, joining the exclusive club of a few lucky travelers who experience this extraordinary moment.
