Frequently Asked Questions
Why is the Northern Circuit considered the best route?
It spends almost 9 days on the mountain with 360-degree views, practically zero crowds on the northern slopes, and the maximum acclimatization profile.
Is the Northern Circuit suitable for beginner trekkers?
Yes! Because altitude gain is gradual over 9 days, it is actually physically easier on the body than shorter routes.
How remote is the northern side of Kilimanjaro?
Very quiet. You will encounter almost no other trekking groups until you rejoin the summit approach route at School Hut.
Where do we lodge before and after the trek?
Pre and post-climb hotel stays in Arusha or Moshi can be added directly into your itinerary package.
