The Grand Traverse Route is the most lavish route on Kilimanjaro – ideal if you value privacy and authentic wilderness away from the crowds. It offers stunning 360° degree views of the peak and afar into Tanzania and Kenya. It is also one of the easiest routes with a very high Kilimanjaro Success Rate.
Kilimanjaro's Grand Traverse Route takes trekkers to the three volcanoes that make up Mount Kilimanjaro, using lesser traveled, remote and scenic trails that traverse Kilimanjaro along the Northern Face. The route provides plenty of time to explore the less known features of Kilimanjaro, including Shark's Tooth and several caves along the route. The route will also provide amble time to properly acclimatize prior to making the Kilimanjaro Climbing summit attempt.
Starting in the west along the Shira Route, the Grand Traverse then circumvents the peak on the northern slopes, approaches the summit from the east and descends in the south. Together with the Northern Circuit, the Grand Traverse is the only route that circumvents the peak on the northern slopes, hence enabling the authentic wilderness experience.
The biggest difference to the Northern Circuit is that climbers on the Grand Traverse get driven up to a fairly high altitude of 3,400 meters (11,200 feet) on their first day, along the old Shira evacuation route. This makes the Grand Traverse a shorter and less challenging variation, typically completed in 8 days.
