Approaching the summit of Mount
Kilimanjaro by the remote Shira
Routes are 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. |
