Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro via the Northern Circuit route was an incredible experience! The Northern Circuit offers a longer-traveled path to the summit, making it a perfect option for those looking for a more peaceful and scenic adventure. The route is challenging but rewarding, with stunning views, diverse landscapes, and a variety of ecosystems along the way. The organization of the trip was top-notch. From start to finish, the team made sure everything was well-coordinated, ensuring our safety and comfort throughout the trek. The guides were knowledgeable, encouraging, and experienced, providing valuable insights into the mountain and its environment. Overall, it was a truly memorable adventure, a beautiful challenge for those ready to take on Kilimanjaro in a unique way. Highly recommend Migration Venture Africa for their good job and mountain climbing experience!
10 Days Northen Circuite Route | Kilimanjaro ClimbingIt was such an amazing experience! The whole team are so supportive and will push you if you feel like you can’t continue. Our guides laddy and Dennis were very attentive and extremely positive throughout the whole process which is needed especially at the summit. Health worries were not a problem as they checked on us morning and night to make sure it was safe for us to continue. Our chef and waiter were amazing giving us fresh 3 course meals 3 times a day. Everyone was so happy the whole trip was a 10/10. POLE POLE!!!!!
