Why choose the Northern Circuit Route?
There are many routes to climb Kilimanjaro, but the Northern Circuit Route is considered the best in terms of scenery, acclimatisation, and success rates. The Northern Circuit Route is the newest and longest route on Kilimanjaro, taking nine days to complete. The route offers a unique experience, as it takes you through diverse landscapes – from rainforests to alpine deserts and glacial valleys. The route also has a high success rate, as it allows for a longer acclimatization period, which reduces the chances of altitude sickness.
