The Northern Circuit Route is the longest route on Kilimanjaro. It is a 9-day trip that initially goes up the Lemosho route on the western side of Kilimanjaro to the Shira Plateau, then heads north and circles the main summit in a clockwise direction. It then joins the Rongai route to climb the summit from the eastern side and descend straight down the southern Mweka route. It is the newest route up Mount Kilimanjaro and arguably the best, offering beautiful scenery, plenty of solitude, a healthy challenge, and the potential to spot wildlife.
