Kilimanjaro · 09 nights

Northern Circuit
Nine days, the long way round.

TrekkingHighest success rateRemote north

The newest and longest route, circling the quiet northern slopes before turning for the summit. More days above 4000m than any other route, which is why it has the highest success rate on the mountain and the fewest people on it.
