The 8 Days Kilimanjaro Northern Circuit Trek was an absolutely phenomenal climb. This route is longer, which significantly aids acclimatization and allows for more stunning scenery. It circles the mountain, offering diverse landscapes and fewer crowds. Our guides were exceptional, truly masters of the mountain, and the entire crew was supportive and friendly.

A Challenging but Rewarding Kilimanjaro Climb
Mark T. · UK · 16 Jul 2026

The 5-day Marangu route was definitely tough, especially the final push. The scenery was beautiful throughout, and our porters and guides were absolutely amazing – their support was crucial. While we reached Stella Point, summiting Uhuru Peak was a bit too ambitious for us within this timeframe and our fitness level. It's a great route for acclimatization, and the hut accommodations were basic but functional. A good introduction to Kilimanjaro, but for summit success, I’d consider a longer route for 2026.
