Starting and ending in Arusha, the tour "Kilimanjaro - Remote Northern Circuit" is a guided trekking and hiking tour that takes 11 days. You will travel through Shira Camp One, Millenium Camp, School Hut Campsite and 6 other destinations in Tanzania. "Kilimanjaro - Remote Northern Circuit" is a small group tour which includes accommodation, transport, meals and others.

A beautiful and challenging route to summit the highest mountain in Africa on the full moon. Climbing the highest mountain in Africa on the Northern Circuit route is a draw card for any avid trekker, but especially with a full moon summit! Mt Kilimanjaro (5895m), fondly known as Kili, being a free-standing mountain commands panoramic views of the surrounding plains. Having nine days to acclimatise and encountering limited numbers of fellow trekkers, this route is truly remote and one for the trekking enthusiast. Commencing from the western side, catch a glimpse of Mt Meru floating on the clouds from the Shira Plateau before traversing the less visited northern flanks to enjoy fabulous vistas across vast Kenyan lowlands. Then, approaching the summit from the east in the light of the full moon, experience the tremendous feeling of space generated before standing on the top of Africa. Finally, a descent to the south completes an almost-circumnavigation of the mountain. This less-visited northern route provides opportunity for a truly remarkable adventure to the top of Kilimanjaro.
