Experience the wild beauty of West Kilimanjaro on a unique 2-day trek to Shira Plateau and Shira Peak. Starting from the Londorosi Gate, hike through rich montane forest alive with birds and colobus monkeys before reaching the open Shira Plateau, one of Kilimanjaro’s oldest volcanic areas.
Spend the night camping under the stars at Shira Camp (3,500m), surrounded by breathtaking views of Kibo’s glaciers and Mount Meru in the distance. The next morning, make a short but thrilling climb to Shira Peak (3,962m) — one of Kilimanjaro’s smaller summits — and enjoy panoramic views across the African plains before descending back through the forest.
