Kilimanjaro - Northern Circuit Route - 10-14 days
360 degrees trip, start and finish at Rongai Gate.
The Northern Circuit is the newest route up Kilimanjaro and also the longest. It takes a minimum of 8 days to complete. Because of its length, the Northern Circuit has is the best for acclimatization and has the highest summit success rate.
The only route to traverse all of the Northern Slopes on a 360 degrees circumnavigation of the mountain. The route circles around the quieter northern slopes to the east side of the mountain. There are a number of route variations, but generally the Northern Circuit approaches the summit via Gilman's Point before descending on the same route as the Machame and Lemosho.
With the option to stay inside the crater for one or two nights then visit the Kilimanjaro ash pit.
Start at Rongai Gate, then back down at Marangu Gate.
Fully catered camping only.
