The 8 Days Northern Circuit Route on Kilimanjaro is widely regarded as the best route to summit Uhuru Peak, offering the highest success rate thanks to its long duration and superior acclimatization profile.
Starting from the western side of Mount Kilimanjaro, the route follows the Lemosho trail before circling the remote northern slopes, an area rarely visited by climbers. This means fewer crowds, quieter camps, and breathtaking panoramic views toward Kenya and the Amboseli plains.
If your priority is safety, comfort, and summit success, the Northern Circuit is the gold standard—ideal for first-time climbers, photographers, and travelers who want the most complete Kilimanjaro experience.
