About The Best Shira Route Group Tours in 2025–2026 | Kilimanjaro Climbing
The Kilimanjaro Climbing Group Tour via the Shira Route in 2025–2026 is perfect for experienced trekkers seeking a less crowded trail, stunning landscapes, and an unforgettable summit adventure. The Shira Route is one of the most adventurous and scenic ways to climb Mount Kilimanjaro, offering a unique approach from the western side. Unlike traditional routes that begin in lush rainforest, the Shira Route starts at a higher elevation on the Shira Plateau (3,500m), making it both breathtakingly beautiful and slightly more challenging.
During this journey, climbers enjoy panoramic views of the Shira Plateau, pass through lava fields and moorlands, and experience the dramatic climb towards the Barranco Wall before joining the Machame Route near Lava Tower. The trail highlights Kilimanjaro’s geological wonders, wide-open high-altitude plains, and excellent acclimatization opportunities. Trekkers also get the chance to witness awe-inspiring sunrises and sunsets across the African savannah while bonding with fellow climbers in a supportive group setting.
