The Kilimanjaro - Shira Route trip starts and ends in Arusha. It is a trekking tour that takes 10 days taking you through Shira Camp Two, Moir Hut, Lava Tower and 7 other destinations in Tanzania. Kilimanjaro - Shira Route is a guided small group trip that includes accommodation, meals and others.

A remote and scenic route to the summit of Africa's highest mountain. Approaching the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, fondly known as Kili, by the remote Shira Route is an exhilarating option for walkers keen to explore less trodden trails and who are comfortable in variable mountain conditions. From the forest and moorland to the caldera of Shira volcano, we explore the fascinating rock formations on the Shira plateau before traversing beneath the southern ice fields of Kibo. We enjoy stunning early morning views of Kibo and our day spent in the rarely visited Lent Hills will be a highlight before we join the main route to the summit of Uhuru Peak (5895m) on the crater rim. The eight day itinerary gives maximum possible acclimatisation and flexibility to enjoy the magnificent mountain scenery that extends from the volcanic summit to the vast African plains.

“My Kilimanjaro experience with World Expeditions was efficient and well managed. The arrangements worked well and the local guide and crew were very experienced and had amazing attitudes. They helped each of the climbers individually, based on their own capabilities and with their support and guidance we all made it to the summit. I am personally very grateful for their help as it helped me get to the top under tough conditions. The overall arrangements worked efficiently and allowed me to focus on the climb with no other worries. Overall an excellent experience and would definitely consider booking through them if I decide to do another another hike.”
