The Shira Route is one of the most spectacular ways to climb Kilimanjaro. It begins high on the Shira Plateau on the western side of the mountain and passes through a breathtaking landscape of open grasslands, volcanic formations, and wide-ranging vistas. From the very start, trekkers are rewarded with unparalleled panoramic views of the summit, a unique advantage of this route.

With excellent acclimatization, fewer crowds than the classic routes, and varied stages, the Shira Route offers the perfect combination of nature, tranquility, and challenge.

Experience the changing vegetation zones from savannah and alpine deserts to the permanent snowfields at Uhuru Peak.
