In a manner similar to the Lemosho Route, you approach Kilimanjaro from the west on this walk. Shira was, in fact, the original Lemosho trail on this mountain’s western side.
While the Lemosho route begins at Londorossi Gate and requires a journey through a rainforest to reach Shira 1 Camp, the Shira route skips this section by having climbers be driven to Shira Gate, which is close to the Shira Ridge.
What to bring:
- Clothes.
- A warm sweater as the nights can be chilly at high altitudes.
- Comfortable shoes.
