A pioneering 9-day route around Kilimanjaro's summit cone

Kilimanjaro from Karanga campsite

This special itinerary offers Exodus trekkers a brand new route on Kilimanjaro, with optimum acclimatisation and captivating views on Africa's highest mountain. Approaching from the north on the Rongai Route, we veer off anti-clockwise along the Northern Circuit and are immediately rewarded with immense views over the Kenyan Plains with Amboseli far below. Turning south we pass Moir Hut and join the Shira Route, traversing under the glacial ice with views of Mt Meru and the Tanzania Plains two miles below. The 9 day trek affords maximum acclimatisation time - become one of the first groups to experience Kilimanjaro Northern Circuit's amazing tranquillity and panoramic scenery.

Please note the Kilimanjaro National Park tax is not included in the package price.

KILIMANJARO - FREE GEAR

Book any Kilimanjaro climb before the end of August for travel before the end of September and receive free hire of a 4-season sleeping bag and comfortable safari-style sleeping mat.

What makes this trip responsible?

Responsible Travel

Tanzania Porter Education Project
During the long rains (April-June), the non-trekking season, Exodus supports a project to teach English to its porters and other local staff. Being able to converse with clients in English is an essential skill and this successful initiative has enabled porters to become cooks, assistant guides and even chief guides. With your support our aim is to develop this programme further in the future and provide continued education to our porters during times when work is limited. These skills can also help with employment opportunities for our guides, who can also work as teachers and/or classroom assistants.
