What are the disadvantages of the Northern Circuit?

The scenery is special on Kilimanjaro, no matter which route you take. However, please be aware that the Northern Circuit misses two scenic highlights of the southern slopes. These are the Dendrosenecio forest, though you will still get to see a few Dendrosenecio trees, and, the Barranco Wall. However, this is honestly a blessing in disguise if you suffer from vertigo.

Generally speaking, we’d say that these are small sacrifices for your authentic wilderness experience!

If you are looking for an open group climb, the Northern Circuit isn’t your best bet either. While there still are a few options available for the 8-day Northern Circuit, there are hardly any open group climbs for the 9-day Northern Circuit.
