10 Days Best of Kilimanjaro Trekking Northern Circuit Route

10 Days Northern Circuit Route is a safari package designed to take travelers through the north instead of following the southern traverse like all the other west approaching routes. The Northern Circuit traverses the mountain around the quiet, rarely visited northern slopes with a rare experience of nature. While you trek, you will see nearly 360 degrees of beautiful scenery as you traverse the mountain at 13,000 feet. As the longest route on Kilimanjaro, the Northern Circuit also has the longest acclimatization time, giving you the highest chance of reaching the summit successfully.

Beginning at Londorossi Gate and ending at Mweka Gate in Moshi Town, this 10-day Northern Circuit route on Kilimanjaro begins at 5,895 meters and traverses Africa’s highest peak. The usual amount of time spent trekking each day is between 5-7 hours, which gives enough time to acclimate and enjoy the experience on the Mountain.

The newest and longest route on Mount Kilimanjaro, this 10-day climb via the Northern Circuit takes place over the course of 10 days. It showcases the mountain’s remarkable biodiversity by taking you through a range of ecosystems and landscapes, offering an immersive experience. If you want to improve your chances of safely reaching the summit of Kilimanjaro, the 10-day Kilimanjaro via Northern Circuit is the way to go. This is because it allows for better altitude acclimation. To avoid altitude sickness and have a more pleasant ascent, proper acclimatization is essential.

10 days of pure bliss Many people think that the Northern Circuit Route is the greatest way to climb Kilimanjaro because it has so many great features. I highly recommend the Northern Circuit as the top Mount Kilimanjaro route if you are seeking stunning natural beauty, plenty of isolation, a good challenge, and the possibility of seeing creatures.
