Meet your English Speaking guide at your Hotel in Moshi or Arusha then drive to your destination of West part of Kilimanjaro, the journey it takes you through a forestreserve, where you can look out for blue monkeys and Colobus Monkeys in the trees. Your hike through the beautifully rugged landscape of Shira Plateau starts at 3,500 m above sea level. Get out of the car, lace up your shoes and take in the sounds, smells, and colors of Tanzania’s stunning wilderness. Along different trails, you can enjoy views of Kibo, Kilimanjaro’s highest peak, and its northern glaciers, when the weather permits.

The vast plains of neighboring Amboseli National Park in Kenya and the deep gorge of the Simba River contrast the views of the world’s highest free-standing mountain. When you reach the northern rim of Shira Crater, take a quick stop at different observation points and see the volcanic cones dotting the landscape below. Hike at your own pace and enjoy a picnic lunch under the pen sky along the way. It’s a moderate hike and you don’t need to be an athlete to be able to enjoy it. However, at 3,500m the air is thinner, so pace your step, enjoy the untouched landscapes and the presence of the mighty Kilimanjaro.

After 3 to 4 hours up / 2 to 3 hours down – total time 5 to 8 hours, if your legs get tired – we take you back to Kilimanjaro Airport having some good memories of the tour
