Unvergessliche 8 Tage am Kilimanjaro – Northern Circuit mit Hike Kilimanjaro Wir haben im August 2026 die 8-tägige Northern-Circuit-Route mit Hike Kilimanjaro gemacht – und es war einfach perfekt! Ein riesiges Dankeschön an unser großartiges Team: Richard, Keddy, Innocent und Doc Florian. Die vier waren nicht nur unglaublich professionell und erfahren, sondern auch super sympathisch, aufmerksam und fantastische Motivatoren. Wir haben uns zu jeder Zeit sicher und bestens betreut gefühlt. Die Northern Circuit Route war für uns die perfekte Wahl: landschaftlich unglaublich abwechslungsreich und wunderschön und vor allem deutlich weniger überlaufen als andere Routen. Wir waren an vielen Tagen fast komplett für uns und häufig sogar die einzigen oder fast die einzigen am Camp. Ein wirklich besonderes Erlebnis! Auch die Verpflegung war hervorragend. Godson, unser Koch, hat jeden Tag unglaublich leckeres Essen gezaubert – ehrlich gesagt hätten wir auf dem Berg mit deutlich weniger gerechnet. 😊 Besonders hervorheben möchten wir auch die Träger. Das gesamte Team war unglaublich freundlich, hilfsbereit und herzlich. Man merkt, dass hier Menschen mit Leidenschaft und großem Engagement arbeiten. Von der Organisation über die Sicherheit und Betreuung bis hin zur Stimmung im Team hat einfach alles gepasst. Die Guides hatten immer ein Auge auf uns, haben uns motiviert, wenn es anstrengend wurde, und gleichzeitig dafür gesorgt, dass wir die Reise und die beeindruckende Landschaft genießen konnten. Absolute Empfehlung für Hike Kilimanjaro! Wenn wir den Kilimanjaro noch einmal besteigen würden, würden wir jederzeit wieder mit diesem Team gehen. Asante sana an das gesamte Hike-Kilimanjaro-Team für diese unvergesslichen 8 Tage! 🏔️❤️

Great experience with Hike Kilimanjaro – Northern Circuit, 8 days We did the 8-day Northern Circuit route with Hike Kilimanjaro in August 2026, and honestly, we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Our guides Richard, Keddy, Innocent and Florian („the Doc!“) were a big part of what made the trip so good. They were all very friendly, experienced and relaxed, but at the same time always paid attention to how we were doing. Especially on the harder days, they were great motivators. We always felt safe and well looked after. The Northern Circuit itself was amazing. The scenery was beautiful and incredibly varied, and one of the best things for us was that it wasn't crowded at all. Most of the time we hardly saw other groups and quite often we were almost alone at the camps. That made the whole experience feel much more special. And then there was the food! Godson, our cook, did an amazing job. We honestly didn't expect to eat that well on the mountain. After a long day of hiking, we were always looking forward to dinner. 😄 We also want to mention the porters, who were incredibly friendly and helpful. They worked extremely hard and were always kind and in a good mood. It was really nice getting to know some of them during the trip. Everything was well organized, and most importantly, we always felt that safety came first. The guides knew what they were doing and we never had any concerns about whether we were in good hands. There were definitely some tough moments – it is the Kilimanjaro after all! – but having such a good team around us made a huge difference. The guides knew when to encourage us, when to slow down and when we simply needed a little break. Overall, it was an incredible experience from start to finish. Beautiful route, great guides, amazing food, lovely porters and a really good atmosphere within the whole team. A big thank you to Richard, Keddy, Innocent, Florian, Godson and everyone at Hike Kilimanjaro. We would absolutely choose them again. Highly recommended, especially if you're looking for a quieter and more remote Kilimanjaro experience. Asante sana! 🇹🇿🏔️Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Am 12. August begann unser Kili—Abenteuer zu acht. Mit unseren Guides Richard, Keddy, Innocent und „Doc“ Florian sowie einer 28 Mann Crew von Hike Kilimanjaro starteten wir am Lemosho Gate für die 8-tägige Northern Circuit Route. Und es wurden unvergessliche Tage. Wir waren bestens umsorgt, versorgt und betreut, alles war perfekt organisiert. Jeden Morgen wurden wir mit Tanz und Gesang in den Wandertag verabschiedet und genauso herzlich bei der Ankunft im Camp empfangen. Der Koch Godson zauberte tolle Mahlzeiten und ich bin überzeugt, dass seine göttlichen Suppen und das morgendliche Porrige maßgeblich zum Gipfelerfolg beigetragen haben. Die Route war landschaftlich sehr schön und aufgrund der Länge ideal für die Akklimatisierung in der Höhe. Am Abend gab es medizinische Checks, so dass wir uns immer sicher fühlten. Danke, dass wir für diese Zeit Teil der Hike Kilimanjaro Familie sein durften und Danke für eure Motivation und Herzlichkeit. Wir können den Trip mit euch nur empfehlen, es wurde an alles gedacht, selbst an die abendliche Wärmflasche. On August 12, our Kilimanjaro adventure began with eight of us. Accompanied by our guides Richard, Keddy, Innocent, and “Doc” Florian, as well as a 28-person crew from Hike Kilimanjaro, we set out from Lemosho Gate on the 8-day Northern Circuit route.

The cook, Godson, whipped up fantastic meals, and I’m convinced that his divine soups and the morning porridge played a major role in our success in reaching the summit. The route offered stunning scenery and, due to its length, was ideal for acclimatizing to the altitude. In the evenings, there were medical check-ups, so we always felt safe. Thank you for letting us be part of the Hike Kilimanjaro family during this time, and thank you for your motivation and warmth. We highly recommend this trip with you—every detail was taken care of, even the hot water bottle in the evening.

Top tier team to help you climb Mount Kilimanjaro. We did the 7 day Lemosho route. We met with Florian and Keddy the day before the hike and they helped us get deeper understanding of the route, conditions and expectations. They also checked our gear to make sure we had everything we needed. For our family of 5, we had 3 guides ( Florian, Keddy and Inno )and 18 other support staff. The whole team was very kind, polite , always happy to help and very professional. They went above and beyond to help us get through the ups and down of the hike. They also did health checks including oxygen levels and looked out for other symptoms each day. They supported us and made sure we had an amazing , once in a lifetime experience reaching the top of Mount Kilimanjaro. The whole team of Hike Kilimanjaro gets 5 stars and they come highly recommended.
