The Northern Circuit is Kilimanjaro's newest and longest route — a 9-day grand traverse that circumnavigates the entire mountain. Starting from the Lemosho trailhead, you cross the Shira Plateau then diverge north onto the quiet, untouched northern slopes. You'll have the mountain virtually to yourself for three days before rejoining the standard routes for the summit push. With the best acclimatization profile possible, success rates approach 98%. This is the ultimate Kilimanjaro experience.
Drive to Londorossi Gate, then trek through pristine western rainforest to Mti Mkubwa Camp.
