Itinerary and highlights
After breakfast, our driver-guide will pick you from your hotel and drive to Kilimanjaro National Park Londorossi Gate which is located to the western side of the mountain and up through the forests to the Londorossi Gate at an altitude of 2,100m. You will then start your day trek through tropical montane forests, home to a variety of animals and birdlife. With the help of your guide, you may spot colobus monkeys, crested turacos and more. You will proceed up to the vast Shira Plateau, at 3,400m. You will enjoy your lunch then continue on to Shira 1 Camp, Lion Gorge and the foothills of the Shira Pinnacles. Kilimanjaro’s iconic snow-covered table top, Kibo Peak, should be visible from here, as well as neighbouring glaciers. It is also possible to drive all the way up to the Shira Plateau and then gently explore the surrounding areas on foot if you’re not fit to do longer trek. After taking pictures and enjoy the closer view of the mountain you will start descending to Londorossi gate and later drive to your hotel in Moshi.
