It has the highest starting point on Kilimanjaro, and the wildest first morning. In this episode of The Vertical Sky Journal, we climb the Shira route, the bold, remote and breathtaking path that begins on the great Shira Plateau itself.

In this episode:

  • Why Shira starts at nearly 3,600 metres, and what that means for your body
  • The vast, silent wilderness of the Shira Plateau, Kilimanjaro's oldest volcano
  • Joining the classic southern circuit, the Lava Tower and the Barranco Wall
  • The honest comparison with Lemosho, and why the gentler start usually wins
  • Why we always recommend the eight-day version with an acclimatisation day

Spectacular, quiet and not to be underestimated, Shira is the connoisseur's way to the Roof of Africa. Here is what it is really like, and who it suits best.

The Vertical Sky Journal is brought to you by Vertical Sky, an ethical Kilimanjaro climbing company that climbs the mountain the right way, looking after the guides and porters who make every summit possible.
