Are you ready to embark on the adventure of a lifetime? Welcome to the majestic heights of Mount Kilimanjaro, where breathtaking views and unforgettable experiences await you! At Kimaka Safari, we’re not just a tour operator; we’re your partners in adventure, committed to creating memories that last a lifetime. Join us as we explore the incredible 6-Day Shira Route itinerary for climbing Mount Kilimanjaro!
The Shira Route offers a unique and beautiful approach to the famous Kilimanjaro summit, Uhuru Peak. Starting from the west, this route is less crowded than some others, providing an enchanting and serene experience. Walking through diverse landscapes, from lush moorlands to stunning alpine deserts, you’ll witness the beauty of nature in all its glory. Additionally, the Shira Route allows climbers to acclimatize to the altitude effectively, making for a more comfortable ascent.
Welcome to Tanzania! Upon your arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport, our friendly Kimaka Safari team will be waiting to greet you. We’ll assist you with your transfer to your hotel in Moshi, where you can relax and prepare for your upcoming adventure.
After a hearty breakfast, we’ll start our journey to the Shira Gate (2,900m). Here, we’ll complete the necessary park registration before embarking on our trek. The trail meanders through lush forests and presents stunning views of the surrounding landscapes. As we ascend to Shira Camp (3,840m), enjoy the breathtaking sight of Mount Kilimanjaro.
On this day, we embark on a memorable trek to Lava Tower (4,600m)—a striking rock formation. This ascent is crucial for acclimatization, as we’ll spend time at this elevation before descending. Following our lunch near the tower, we’ll trek down to Barranco Camp (3,960m), where we’ll settle in for the night amidst the stunning scenery.
Today features the famous Barranco Wall. This challenging but fun climb provides incredible views and a sense of achievement as you conquer each section. After reaching the top, we’ll continue our trek to Karanga Camp (4,035m), where you can relax and revel in the gorgeous surroundings.
Today, we’ll begin our ascent to Barafu Camp (4,673m), the final stop before our summit attempt. This is an exciting day as you’ll be surrounded by spectacular views of the Southern Icefields. After arriving at Barafu, you’ll have some time to rest before our nighttime summit push.
The big day is here! We’ll rise early (around midnight) to begin our ascent to Uhuru Peak (5,895m). The climb will be challenging but incredibly rewarding as you reach the highest point in Africa. Enjoy the sunrise from the summit before beginning our descent to Mweka Camp (3,100m).
After a hearty breakfast, we’ll trek down to Mweka Gate (1,640m) to celebrate your successful climb! Here, you’ll receive your well-deserved certificate of achievement. Our team will assist you with your transfer back to Moshi, where you can reflect on your incredible journey.
