Shira route is a trail that approaches the south west side of the mountain, theser route converges at a junction on the Shira Plateau and continues on the same path to the summit.
It starts at an altitude of 11600ft and it’s suggested by our guides that only trekkers who are already acclimatised or have previous experience tolerate altitude. The trail heads east across the centre of the Shira Plateau, where it is often likely to view game, such as elephant and buffalo. The route then joins up with the Machame Route at Shira Camp and approaches the summit via Stella Point descending via Mweka Camp.
