Package Overview

Begin on the less-traveled Shira Route, a thrilling adventure for those already acclimated to high altitudes. This unique path begins on the Shira Plateau, offering immediate immersion in the alpine zone and stunning panoramas of Kilimanjaro’s diverse landscapes. With Worldwide Safaris, you’ll conquer the mountain’s beauty and challenge on this demanding yet rewarding trek.

Day wise Itinerary

  • Day 1 : Arrival in Arusha

    Upon arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport, you'll be warmly welcomed by our Worldwide Safaris team and transferred to your comfortable accommodations in Arusha. Take some time to rest and finalize your preparations for the trek. In the evening, enjoy a delicious dinner and briefing from your expert guides, outlining the upcoming Kilimanjaro adventure.

  • Day 2 : Shira Gate to Shira 1 Camp

    After breakfast, we'll drive to Shira Gate, the starting point of your Kilimanjaro trek. Unlike other routes, you'll begin your ascent at a higher altitude, immediately immersing yourself in the alpine environment. The trail meanders through the Shira Plateau, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding peaks and valleys. You'll reach Shira 1 Camp in the afternoon, enjoying dinner and a restful night under the stars.

  • Day 3 : Shira 1 Camp to Shira 2 Camp

    Today is a crucial acclimatization day, with a gentle hike across the Shira Plateau. You'll have the opportunity to explore the unique landscape, observe the fascinating flora and fauna, and further acclimatize to the higher altitude. The afternoon will be spent relaxing at Shira 2 Camp, preparing for the next day's challenges.

  • Day 4 : Shira 2 Camp to Lava Tower to Barranco Camp

    Today's hike is another key acclimatization day, as you ascend to Lava Tower (15,000 ft) before descending to Barranco Camp (13,000 ft). This altitude fluctuation aids acclimatization and prepares you for the summit push. You'll be rewarded with spectacular views of the Great Barranco Wall and the unique vegetation that thrives in this harsh environment.

  • Day 5 : Barranco Camp to Karanga Camp

    Prepare for a thrilling climb up the Barranco Wall, a steep but rewarding section of the trek. The trail then descends into the Karanga Valley, where you'll find Karanga Camp. Enjoy a well-deserved rest and soak in the stunning views of the surrounding peaks.

  • Day 6 : Karanga Camp to Barafu Camp

    Today's hike takes you through alpine desert terrain, as you ascend towards Barafu Camp. The landscape becomes increasingly barren, but the views of the glaciers and ice fields are simply awe-inspiring. Upon arrival at Barafu Camp, you'll have an early dinner and rest before your final push to the summit.

  • Day 7 : Barafu Camp to Uhuru Peak to Mweka Camp

    Summit day begins before dawn, with a challenging climb to Uhuru Peak. As you ascend, you'll witness a breathtaking sunrise over the African plains. After celebrating your incredible achievement at the summit, you'll descend to Mweka Camp, where you'll enjoy a well-deserved rest.

  • Day 8 : Mweka Camp to Mweka Gate

    On your final day of trekking, you'll descend through the rainforest, retracing your steps to Mweka Gate. After saying goodbye to your porters and guides, you'll be transferred back to Arusha, where you can relax and reflect on your amazing journey.
