Northern Circuit Route

The newest route on Kilimanjaro with great acclimatization and great views. Northern Circuit is also a western approaching route, the only one that circles the mountain on the northern side also is less crowded.

NORTHERN CIRCUIT ROUTE - OVERVIEW

The Northern Circuit route is one of the best routes on Kilimanjaro, offering nearly 360 degrees of beautiful scenery including the quiet, rarely visited northern slopes. As the longest route on Kilimanjaro, the Northern Circuit also has the most acclimatization time and the highest summit success rate. Thus, the Northern Circuit route is highly recommended.

The route approaches Mount Kilimanjaro from the west, beginning with a long drive from Moshi to Londorossi Gate. From there, the first two days are spent trekking through the rainforest to Shira Ridge, before crossing the Shira Plateau. The route then heads north and circles clockwise from Moir Hut to Buffalo Camp to School Hut, before summiting from the east. Descend is made via the Mweka route.

Lemosho Route - Expert Advice

The Northern Circuit route is a fantastic way to experience Kilimanjaro, if you have an extra day or two. Keep in mind that long daily hikes can get tiring if you are not used to long hiking trails. Additionally, climbing Kilimanjaro via the Northern Circuit is the perfect way to avoid crowds. While most other Kilimanjaro routes can get quite busy, especially during the peak seasons, the Northern Circuit trail rarely sees many trekkers.
