Kilimanjaro Northern Circuit Route Trek Overview

The 8-day Northern Circuit Route is Kilimanjaro’s most scenic and least traveled trail, offering a truly immersive and rewarding trekking experience. Starting from the Lemosho Gate, this route loops around the northern slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro before approaching the summit from School Hut. It’s the longest route to the top, giving trekkers the best possible acclimatization and the highest summit success rate.

This extended journey allows for a deeper connection with the mountain’s diverse ecosystems from lush rainforest and heathland to arid alpine desert. With fewer trekkers on the trail, you’ll enjoy peaceful landscapes, unspoiled views, and a greater chance to encounter wildlife. Led by expert guides from Hike Kilimanjaro, the Northern Circuit is perfect for those who want a less crowded, more scenic, and highly successful route to Africa’s highest peak

Kilimanjaro Northern Circuit Route Trek Itinerary

Day 01: Arrival in Tanzania

Upon arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO), you will be welcomed by a representative from Hike Kilimanjaro Ltd and transferred to Planet Lodge in Arusha or to a similar Lodge. After check-in, you will have a full briefing with your guide, including a gear check to ensure you’re fully prepared for the trek.

  • Overnight at Planet Lodge
  • Breakfast included

Note:
The pre-trip briefing will take place at our office if you arrive before 4:00 PM, and at your hotel if you arrive later in the evening. Please ensure you bring a copy of your passport and a readable copy of your travel insurance policy to the meeting. These documents are required for us to obtain your trekking permits and complete necessary documentation for the trek.

Please also note that hotel check-in is from midday (12:00 PM). If your flight arrives early in the morning, kindly let us know in advance. We can arrange a day-use room for you, or, if you prefer, we can organize some short activities to keep you engaged until your check-in time.

After breakfast, we depart Arusha and drive to Lemosho Gate (approx. 3-4 hours). Upon arrival, registration with the park authorities is completed, and we begin our trek through the lush rainforest, home to black and white colobus monkeys.

Your Hike Kilimanjaro driver will be waiting to greet you and transfer you to Mweka Village, where you’ll enjoy a freshly prepared picnic hot lunch en route.

Note

The Northern Circuit Route is Kilimanjaro’s longest and most scenic trekking trail, offering an extraordinary journey around the rarely visited northern slopes of the mountain. Known for its exceptional acclimatization profile and highest summit success rate, this route is perfect for those seeking a quieter, more immersive wilderness experience on Africa’s highest peak.

With Hike Kilimanjaro, the Northern Circuit adventure begins on the Lemosho trail, winding through lush rainforest and heather zones, then crossing the majestic Shira Plateau. As the route arcs around the remote northern flanks of Kilimanjaro, trekkers are rewarded with panoramic views that few others witness. Nights are spent in less-crowded campsites, offering serenity and a closer connection with nature.

This 8-day trek allows trekkers to follow a “climb high, sleep low” strategy, optimizing the body’s ability to acclimatize to altitude. It culminates in a midnight ascent to Uhuru Peak (5,895 meters) via Gilman’s Point, with the descent tracing back through the Mweka Route.

Although the route is longer and more physically demanding due to its duration, it’s an excellent choice for fit and patient adventurers looking to maximize their chances of a successful summit. With Hike Kilimanjaro’s expert guides, comprehensive support, and thoughtful pacing, the Northern Circuit offers the ultimate Kilimanjaro experience—remote, scenic, and deeply rewarding.

Kilimanjaro Northern Circuit Route Weather and Temperature

What is the best time to trek Northern Circuit Route?

The best time to trek the Northern Circuit Route on Mount Kilimanjaro is during the dry seasons, from January to early March and late June to October. These periods offer the most stable weather, with clear skies, low chances of rain, and excellent visibility, perfect for enjoying the stunning scenery along the mountain’s remote northern slopes. Trekking during these months also improves your chances of a successful summit due to more favorable trail conditions.

Avoid the long rainy season from mid-March to May and the short rains in November, as these bring slippery trails, heavy clouds, and reduced visibility. Since the Northern Circuit is the longest and one of the most scenic routes, choosing the right time ensures a safer, more enjoyable experience with fewer disruptions from unpredictable weather.

What kind of weather and temperature can I expect while trekking?

While trekking the Northern Circuit Route on Mount Kilimanjaro, you’ll experience a wide range of weather and temperatures due to the mountain’s elevation changes. At lower altitudes, daytime temperatures range from 15°C to 25°C (59°F to 77°F) with warm, sunny weather, though nights can be cooler. As you ascend, temperatures drop significantly, especially above 3,500 meters (11,500 feet), where it becomes much colder and windier.

Near the summit at Uhuru Peak, expect nighttime temperatures between -7°C and -20°C (19°F to -4°F), with the wind chill making it feel even colder. Weather conditions can change quickly, so it’s important to be prepared for both intense sun and freezing temperatures. Dressing in breathable layers and packing quality cold-weather gear is essential for comfort and safety throughout the trek.

What is the temperature rating of the sleeping bag that you lend to trekkers?

The sleeping bags provided by Hike Kilimanjaro for trekkers are rated to handle temperatures as low as -10°C (14°F). These sleeping bags are designed to keep you warm and comfortable during your trek, even in the colder conditions at higher altitudes on Mount Kilimanjaro.

Can we hike to Mount Meru first and then to Mount Kilimanjaro Northern Circuit Route?

Yes, absolutely — hiking Mount Meru before tackling Mount Kilimanjaro’s Northern Circuit Route is a fantastic strategy, and it's highly recommended for several reasons:

✅ Benefits of Hiking Mount Meru First

  1. Excellent Acclimatization
    Mount Meru (4,566 m) helps your body adapt to high altitudes before ascending Kilimanjaro. This significantly increases your chances of reaching Uhuru Peak successfully and comfortably via the Northern Circuit Route.
  2. Builds Trekking Endurance
    Meru’s steep and challenging trails prepare you physically for the longer Northern Circuit trek, improving your stamina and mental readiness.
  3. Less Crowded and Stunning Views
    Meru offers breathtaking scenery, wildlife encounters, and far fewer crowds than Kilimanjaro. You’ll enjoy a peaceful hike with views of Kilimanjaro from a unique vantage point.
  4. Efficient Use of Time
    If you have 2+ weeks for travel, combining both treks is the most effective way to make your trip to Tanzania more adventurous and worthwhile.

Arrival and Visas

Is it possible to obtain a visa for Tanzania upon arrival at the airport?

Yes, travelers can obtain a visa on arrival at major airports in Tanzania, including Kilimanjaro, Dar es Salaam, and Zanzibar. You will need:

  • A valid passport (with at least 6 months' validity)
  • Proof of onward travel
  • Sufficient funds for your stay

The visa fee is typically $50 (or $100 for U.S. citizens), payable in cash (USD).

To avoid any delays, Hike Kilimanjaro recommends applying for an e-Visa in advance through the official portal: https://visa.immigration.go.tz.

Always check the current visa requirements before travel, as policies may change.

Who will come to pick me up at the airport upon my arrival?

When you arrive, a member of the Hike Kilimanjaro team will be waiting for you outside the airport terminal holding a signboard with both our company name and your travel group name. You will then be escorted to your hotel in a private, comfortable tourist vehicle for your convenience and comfort.

How long shoul i expect the visa process and baggage claim to take upon arrival at the airport?

At Kilimanjaro International Airport, the process of obtaining a visa and collecting your baggage generally takes 30 minutes to 1 hour. However, this duration may vary depending on factors such as the time of day, the number of arriving flights, and passenger volume. We recommend allowing some extra time for these processes to ensure a smooth arrival.

Can I buy a SIM card at the airport in Tanzania?

Yes, SIM cards are available for purchase at the airport from local telecom providers such as Vodacom, Airtel, and Tigo. We recommend Vodacom for its extensive nationwide coverage.

SIM card counters are open from morning until evening. If your flight arrives late and the counters are closed, don’t worry—our driver can take you to a Vodacom shop the following morning before your trip begins.

You can purchase a SIM card in the arrivals area after collecting your baggage. Please remember to bring a passport-sized photo and a copy of your passport, as these are required for registration.

Where can I exchange my money upon arrival in Tanzania?

Upon arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport, you can exchange your currency at one of the money exchange counters in the arrivals area. Alternatively, Hike Kilimanjaro can guide you to authorized exchange centers near your hotel, which are typically open during the day for your convenience.

Kilimanjaro Northern Circuit Route Trek Cost

Can I use a credit card in Tanzania?

Yes, you can use credit cards in Tanzania. Visa, Mastercard, and American Express are widely accepted at most hotels, restaurants, and shops. However, please be aware that using a credit card may incur additional fees to cover transaction charges. Hike Kilimanjaro recommends carrying some cash for smaller purchases or in areas where cards might not be accepted.

Is it possible to use credit cards in the places I visit during the trek?

While trekking in the mountain regions, Tanzanian Shillings (TZS) are preferred over credit cards. Hike Kilimanjaro strongly recommends exchanging your cash into Tanzanian Shillings before starting your trek.

You can exchange currency at the airport, local banks, or use ATMs on the way to the national parks. For the best exchange rates, it's ideal to exchange your money in Arusha or Moshi town before your trek begins.

Is it possible to reserve a trip now and pay a deposit later or do I have to pay a deposit at booking?reservation?

To confirm your booking with Hike Kilimanjaro, a 30% deposit is required. The remaining balance can be paid up to 4 weeks before your trip or upon your arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport.

How do I pay the remaining balance of my trip upon arrival in Tanzania? US Dollars cash or credit card?

The full payment for your trip with Hike Kilimanjaro must be made no later than four weeks before your trip start date.

You can complete your payment using US Dollars (USD) via bank transfer or credit card (Visa, MasterCard, or American Express). Please note that a 3% transaction fee applies to all credit card payments. For this reason, we recommend using bank transfer or USD cash if possible.

If you choose to pay in USD cash, please ensure the bills are larger denominations (preferably $50 or $100), issued in 2009 or later, and in good condition—no torn, worn, or crumpled notes, as Tanzanian banks do not accept them.

How are the ATM and money exchange facilities in Tanzania?

There are ATM and money exchange facilities almost every place, where you will be staying in Tanzania. So, you can easily use your cards to cash out limited sum of money to which a minimum charge is deducted by the ATM facility itself. You can easily exchange your foreign currencies in currency exchange centers for an exact rate.

Who Can Trek?

Do I need a prior trekking experience?

No prior trekking experience is required to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. Many of our clients at Hike Kilimanjaro company are first-time trekkers—and with proper preparation and guidance, they reach the summit successfully.

That said, being physically prepared is essential. While Kilimanjaro is a non-technical climb (no ropes or climbing gear needed), it is a multi-day high-altitude trek. The better your fitness level, hiking stamina, and mental resilience, the more enjoyable and successful your experience will be.

Why You Don’t Need Experience:

  • The trek is fully guided with professional support
  • Porters carry your gear—only a daypack is needed
  • The pace is slow and steady ("pole pole") to help with acclimatization
  • Training and preparation can more than make up for a lack of trekking background
Are there any age restrictions for joining Kilimanjaro Northern Circuit Route Trek Packages?

At Hike Kilimanjaro company, we do not have strict age restrictions for joining our trekking packages. As long as participants are physically healthy, mentally prepared, and willing, we warmly welcome adventurers of all ages to join this unforgettable journey.

We’ve proudly guided families with children as young as 10 years old, as well as seasoned trekkers in their late 70s. With the right mindset, preparation, and support, age is never a barrier to reaching new heights on Kilimanjaro.

Is trekking to Mount Kilimanjaro safe for solo female travelers?

Yes, trekking to Mount Kilimanjaro is safe for solo female travelers. Tanzania is generally regarded as a safe destination for female visitors traveling alone. It is entirely safe for a solo woman to trek with Hike Kilimanjaro on any of our treks. We prioritize safety and provide professional guides to ensure a secure and enjoyable experience throughout your journey.

Physical Fitness

How difficult is Northern Circuit route trek?

Difficulty Rating: Moderate to Challenging

Here’s why:

What Makes It Manageable

  • Longest route (8–9 days): This extended duration allows your body to gradually adjust to altitude, significantly improving summit success.
  • Gentle elevation gain: Unlike steeper routes, the trail ascends gradually, giving your body more time to adapt.
  • Less crowded: A quieter trail means fewer distractions and a more focused trekking experience.

What Adds Challenge

  • High altitude exposure: Like all Kilimanjaro routes, you'll still reach extreme altitudes (up to 5,895 meters / 19,341 ft), which can lead to altitude sickness if you're not prepared.
  • Cold temperatures: Nights can be freezing, especially near the summit.
  • Summit day: This is the toughest part — it involves a long, steep, nighttime hike to Uhuru Peak and a long descent the same day.

Who Is It Best For?

  • Trekkers who want the best chance of summit success
  • Those who prefer a quieter, scenic, and less crowded route
  • People with moderate fitness who want to minimize altitude risks

With Hike Kilimanjaro’s expert guides and personalized care, even first-time trekkers can successfully complete the Northern Circuit Route

How quickly do you walk on the trail?

On Mount Kilimanjaro, the pace is intentionally slow and steady—often referred to as "pole pole," a Swahili phrase meaning "slowly, slowly." This approach is crucial for successful altitude acclimatization and reducing the risk of altitude sickness.

With the Hike Kilimanjaro company, you can expect to walk at a relaxed pace of about 3–5 kilometers (2–3 miles) per hour, depending on the terrain, elevation, and group dynamics. Daily trekking times typically range from 4 to 8 hours, with longer summit day treks lasting up to 12–14 hours.

Our experienced guides set a pace that ensures everyone remains comfortable, well-rested, and safe throughout the journey. Frequent breaks are included to hydrate, eat, and enjoy the stunning landscapes along the way.

What kind of physical training is necessary for trek preparation?

Preparing for a Mount Kilimanjaro trek—especially with the Hike Kilimanjaro company—requires a good level of physical fitness, but you don’t need to be an elite athlete. The key is building endurance, strength, and mental stamina to handle long hiking days and high altitudes.

Recommended Training for Kilimanjaro Trekking:

1. Cardiovascular Training (3–4 times per week)
Engage in activities like hiking, jogging, cycling, or swimming to build heart and lung capacity. Aim for sessions lasting 45–60 minutes to improve overall stamina.

2. Hiking Practice
Take regular hikes on varied terrain with a loaded backpack (10–12 kg) to simulate real trail conditions. Gradually increase distance and elevation gain over time.

3. Strength Training (2–3 times per week)
Focus on legs, core, and lower back. Exercises like squats, lunges, step-ups, and planks help build the strength needed for uphill trekking and carrying a daypack.

4. Flexibility and Balance
Incorporate stretching, yoga, or Pilates to improve mobility and reduce the risk of injury on the mountain.

5. Altitude Simulation (optional but helpful)
If available, altitude training masks or high-altitude gyms can help your body adapt to reduced oxygen levels.

What are the physical standards that I need for the trek?

Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro doesn’t require technical climbing skills, but it does demand a good level of physical fitness and mental determination. With the support of the Hike Kilimanjaro company, even first-time trekkers can successfully reach the summit with the right preparation.

Minimum Physical Standards for the Trek:

1. Endurance:
You should be able to hike for 5–8 hours a day (with breaks), and 12+ hours on summit night. This requires strong cardiovascular fitness and stamina.

2. Strength:
Leg and core strength are essential for handling uneven trails, long ascents, and descents while carrying a daypack (5–7 kg). Exercises like squats, lunges, and step-ups can help prepare.

3. Altitude Tolerance:
While no one knows how their body will respond to high altitude until they’re there, being physically fit improves your ability to acclimatize. Training at higher elevations or using simulated altitude tools can help.

4. Stability and Balance:
You should be comfortable walking on rough, rocky terrain and navigating steep sections with trekking poles if needed.

5. Mental Resilience:
Equally important as physical strength is mental toughness. The trek can be physically and emotionally demanding, especially on summit night, so staying positive and determined is key.

Before traveling to Tanzania for your trek with Hike Kilimanjaro company, it’s important to ensure your vaccinations are up to date. While vaccination requirements can vary depending on your country of origin, the following are generally recommended:

Recommended Vaccinations:

  • Tetanus/Diphtheria
  • Rabies (recommended for longer stays or remote travel)
  • Polio (depending on your vaccination history)
  • MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella)

Malaria Prevention:

Tanzania is a malaria-risk area, particularly at lower altitudes like Arusha and Moshi (not on Mount Kilimanjaro itself). You should speak with your doctor about taking malaria prophylaxis.

Important: Always consult your travel doctor or healthcare provider at least 6–8 weeks before your departure to get the most accurate and personalized advice.

Your health and safety are a priority for us at Hike Kilimanjaro company. Let us know if you have any medical conditions or concerns we should be aware of before your trek.

At Hike Kilimanjaro company, your safety is our top priority. If you become very sick during the trek, especially due to altitude-related illness or any medical emergency, we have strict safety protocols in place to take immediate action.

Do you provide oxygen supply if needed?

Yes, Hike Kilimanjaro provides oxygen supply if needed during your Mount Kilimanjaro trek.

Our team carries emergency oxygen cylinders on every trek. While our primary focus is on proper acclimatization to prevent altitude-related issues, we are fully prepared to assist in case of emergencies. Your safety is our top priority.

⁠How are acclimatization and altitude related?

Acclimatization is the natural process by which your body gradually adapts to lower oxygen levels at higher altitudes. On Mount Kilimanjaro, where elevations can reach over 5,800 meters (19,000 ft), acclimatization plays a critical role in your safety and success.

Why Acclimatization Matters:

As you ascend, the air becomes thinner, meaning there’s less oxygen per breath. Without proper acclimatization, your body may struggle to adjust, increasing the risk of altitude sickness.

How Hike Kilimanjaro Company Supports Acclimatization:

  • Slow, gradual ascent to give your body time to adapt.
  • “Climb high, sleep low” approach on certain days to boost adjustment.
  • Daily health monitoring by trained guides using pulse oximeters.
  • Hydration, nutrition, and rest are emphasized throughout the trek.
  • Additional acclimatization days are built into longer routes like the Lemosho Route, increasing summit success rates.

Proper acclimatization is key to a safe and enjoyable Kilimanjaro experience—and we prioritize it in every itinerary we design.

What kind of trekking boot would be best for the trek?

For climbing Mount Kilimanjaro with Hike Kilimanjaro company, choosing the right trekking boots is essential for your comfort, safety, and overall experience.

Recommended Features:

  • Waterproof and Insulated:
    Weather on the mountain can be unpredictable. Choose boots that are waterproof (Gore-Tex or similar) and insulated to keep your feet warm and dry at higher altitudes.
  • High Ankle Support:
    Look for mid- to high-cut boots that offer solid ankle support to prevent sprains on rocky or uneven terrain.
  • Stiff Soles:
    A firm, supportive sole is important for long trekking days and steep inclines.
  • Well Broken-In:
    Your boots should be well broken-in before the trek to avoid blisters. Never wear brand-new boots on the mountain.
  • Compatible with Gaiters:
    If you’re using gaiters (recommended for snow or loose gravel), make sure your boots fit well with them.

A good pair of boots can make a huge difference. Invest in quality, test them on practice hikes, and ensure they’re comfortable for multi-day trekking. Your feet will thank you!

What is necessary for sun protection during the trek?

Sun protection is very important when trekking Mount Kilimanjaro, as the sun’s intensity increases with altitude—even on cloudy days. At Hike Kilimanjaro company, we strongly advise all trekkers to come well-prepared to protect their skin and eyes.

Essential Sun Protection Items:

  • High-SPF Sunscreen
    Bring a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 50. Make sure it protects against both UVA and UVB rays, and reapply regularly—especially on your face, neck, and hands.
  • Lip Balm with SPF
    Chapped and sunburned lips are common. Use a lip balm with SPF to keep them protected and moisturized.
  • UV-Protective Sunglasses
    Choose high-quality sunglasses with UV protection to shield your eyes from strong sunlight and glare, especially in snow-covered zones near the summit.
  • Wide-Brim Hat or Cap
    A wide-brim hat, cap, or sun hat with a neck flap helps protect your face, ears, and neck from direct sun exposure.
  • Lightweight, Long-Sleeve Clothing
    Wear light-colored, long-sleeve shirts and trousers made of breathable, moisture-wicking fabric to shield your skin without overheating.

Staying protected from the sun helps prevent sunburn, dehydration, and fatigue—keeping you more comfortable and energized throughout your trek with Hike Kilimanjaro company.

Do I need to tip my guide and porter? How much would that be?

Yes, tipping is customary and highly appreciated in Tanzania, especially on Mount Kilimanjaro treks. Your guide, porters, cook, and support crew work hard to ensure your safety, comfort, and a successful summit experience. At Hike Kilimanjaro company, we encourage fair and respectful tipping.

Recommended Tipping Guidelines (Per Trekker):

  • Lead Guide: $20–25 per day

  • Cook: $15–20 per day
  • Porter: $8–10 per day, per porter

  • At the end of the trek, you will have a group tipping ceremony, where all tips are handed to the lead guide who distributes them fairly among the team.
  • Tipping can be done in US Dollars or Tanzanian Shillings, preferably in cash.

Tipping is not mandatory, but it is a meaningful way to show appreciation for the crew's dedication and effort throughout your journey.

⁠ ⁠Is there any communication while we are trekking?

Yes, there is communication throughout your trek with Hike Kilimanjaro company to ensure your safety and coordination at all times.

On the Mountain:

  • Our mountain guides carry mobile phones and radios to maintain regular communication with our base team in Arusha or Moshi.

⁠What is the Internet availability in Mount Kilimanjaro?

Internet connectivity on Mount Kilimanjaro has improved significantly in recent years, but coverage varies depending on your location and the route you take.

  • Wi-Fi Access: The Tanzanian government has installed high-speed internet services on the mountain. Wi-Fi is available at several camps along the Marangu route, including Mandara Hut, Horombo Hut, and Kibo Hut. These access points are powered by solar energy and may be turned off occasionally to conserve power for lighting, but they generally maintain a strong signal.
  • Mobile Data: Mobile reception is present in various areas on Kilimanjaro, though it's inconsistent and can be spotty. Local providers like Vodacom and Airtel offer the best coverage. It's advisable to purchase a local SIM card with a data plan before your trek if you wish to stay connected.
  • Power Supply: Electricity is not available at most campsites, so it's essential to bring power banks or solar chargers to keep your devices powered throughout the climb.

While connectivity has improved, it's important to note that internet access can be slow and unreliable, especially at higher altitudes. Therefore, it's best to prepare for limited internet access during your climb and embrace the opportunity to disconnect and enjoy the natural beauty of Mount Kilimanja

Does it cost an extra amount if I am a solo traveler?

Yes, there is usually an additional cost if you choose to trek as a solo traveler on Mount Kilimanjaro.

As Hike Kilimanjaro company, we typically assign a minimum number of guides and porters based on group size. For solo trekkers, this means the cost may increase to cover the same level of support that would be provided in a larger group.

Solo Traveler Surcharge:

  • If you are trekking alone, there is typically a single supplement fee to cover the extra guide and porter support.
  • This ensures you receive the same personalized attention and high-quality service during your trek.

Feel free to contact us for a precise quote based on your preferred route and travel dates. We’re happy to accommodate solo adventurers!

Trekking the Northern Circuit Route on Mount Kilimanjaro is one of the most scenic and least crowded routes to Uhuru Peak. This section answers the most common and important questions climbers have before embarking on this exceptional 8-day trek. From trail difficulty and best time to go, to internet access and safety, everything here helps you prepare for a successful and unforgettable experience on Africa’s highest mountain.

How Difficult Is the Northern Circuit Route?

The Northern Circuit is considered moderate to challenging, primarily due to its length and altitude gain. However, it has the highest summit success rate (over 90%) thanks to its extended itinerary, which allows ample time for acclimatization. The terrain varies from rainforest to alpine desert, but the gradual ascent makes it manageable for most reasonably fit trekkers.

Is the Northern Circuit Route Crowded?

No. The Northern Circuit is the least traveled route on Kilimanjaro, making it ideal for trekkers seeking solitude and a more remote wilderness experience. Because the route approaches from the west and circles around the mountain’s northern slopes, you’ll encounter very few other groups until the final summit day.

What Is the Best Time to Trek the Northern Circuit Route?

The best time to hike is during the dry seasons: January to mid-March and June to October. These months offer more stable weather, clearer views, and safer trail conditions. Avoid the long rains (March to May) and short rains (November) for the most comfortable trekking experience.

How Many Days Is the Northern Circuit Route?

The trekking portion is 8 days on the mountain. With two additional nights in Arusha before and after the trek, the full itinerary spans 10 days. This extended duration supports superior acclimatization and enhances your chances of reaching the summit.

All accommodations on the Northern Circuit are tented campsites provided by your trekking company. Hike Kilimanjaro offers high-quality, all-season mountain tents, comfortable sleeping mats, private toilet tents, and mess tents for dining ensuring both safety and comfort.
