Serengeti National ParkEndless plains, exceptional predators and the Great Migration.
Into Tanzania's wild heart.
The Northern Circuit starts in the west like Lemosho, then circles the quiet northern slopes that most climbers never see. Its length gives your body the most time to adjust, making it a strong option if your priority is reaching the top.
The longest way up: nine days circling almost the whole mountain, with the most time of any route to adapt. This sample itinerary is a strong starting point and can be refined around your dates, interests and preferred accommodation level.
