Shira Route

One of the older routes of Kilimanjaro, the Shira Route, begins at the Morum Barrier and approaches the summit from the west. While it shares similarities with the Lemosho route, its distinguishing feature is its higher starting point. This unique elevation makes it less popular among trekkers, posing potential acclimatization challenges right from the outset.

Experience Mount Kilimanjaro's majesty through the Shira Route's unique perspective. This route, originating near the Shira Ridge, shares its trajectory with the Lemosho Route. Yet, the Shira Route differs because of its distinct starting point and high altitude. It is a less traversed path offering tranquillity and panoramic vistas.

As a longer trek of around eight days, this Shira Plateau Route allows for better acclimatization and increases the chances of reaching the summit folds. 

Finally, the Shira Route, although it has its challenges, offers one of the most rewarding ascents up Mount Kilimanjaro. This Kilimanjaro Route provides an array of stunning landscapes you’ll be able to relish, making it worth the effort.

Adequate preparation, gradual acclimatization, and guidance from our experienced professionals can help you achieve success on this challenging route.
