8 Days Northern Circuit or Grand Traverse Route
Description
Introduction:
This is known both as the Northern Circuit or Grand Traverse Route. This route starts on the western side of the mountain then winds around the north side before ascending up to Uhuru Peak from the east. The descent is down the Mweka Route. We look for this route to become increasingly popular with its good opportunity for acclimatization and scenic beauty. Right now this route is not crowded. This trek is offered both as a private trek and as an open group trek.
