The Northern Circuit route (including variants thereof such as the Grand Traverse) is the only route which circumvents the peak on the northern slopes.
School Hut base camp (4,750m/15,600ft) to Uhuru Peak (5,895m/19,341ft)
Distance: 7km/4mi, 6-8 hours
Altitude: 1,100m/3,700ft up in elevation
Routes offered by tour operators organising Kilimanjaro climbs range anywhere between 5 and more than 9 days. So how long does it take to really climb Kilimanjaro?
Of course we all want to keep is as short as possible, right? After all, who wants to spend more time than necessary without a shower and sleeping in a tent and not showering? And the longer, the more expensive. At least that was my initial thinking…
