Get ready for an adventure on the Shira Route, an enchanting trail that kicks off near Shira Ridge! This route is a hidden gem, closely resembling the popular Lemosho route, with Shira being the original path and Lemosho its exciting upgrade.

Often dubbed the Lemosho route with a “high altitude drop-off,” Shira promises stunning views and varied landscapes, making it a must-try! While the starting altitude might lead some altitude-related symptoms on the first day, the breathtaking scenery and unique experience will make it all worthwhile.

The journey begins with a scenic drive from Moshi to Shira Ridge, skipping the rainforest zone, and then unfolds into a delightful, flat hike across the beautiful Shira Plateau. From there, you'll traverse beneath Kilimanjaro’s majestic Southern Ice Field on the Southern Circuit before conquering the summit from Barafu, with a descent via Mweka route.

We’re thrilled to offer this incredible Shira climb as a 7 or 8-day private adventure, with the8-day option including an unforgettable stay at Moir Hut on day 3! Join us for unforgettable journey!
