Kilimanjaro & Other Hikes
Kilimanjaro Hikes
Known as the "Roof of Africa," Kilimanjaro is one of the Seven Summits and attracts thousands of climbers annually. What makes it truly special is that no technical climbing experience is required - it's a challenging trek that rewards determination and proper preparation with breathtaking views and an unforgettable sense of achievement.
Routes and Maps
Northern Circuit
The Northern Circuit is the longest route on Kilimanjaro. Beginning on the western slope, this trail goes around the cone, going up to the summit from the west. Descent is through the southern slope. This wonderful route gives trekkers a four-faced view of the mountain. However, it skips some key attractions, such as Dendrosenecio plants or the Barranco Wall.
