7 Days – Shira Route
Nairobi, Kenya
Overview
Mt Kilimanjaro
Mount Kilimanjaro is located at the north/eastern tip of Tanzania. For the adventurous, a climb of Mount Kilimanjaro is a must taking you through the mists of equatorial jungle to reach the snows and breath-taking views from the summit.
The upward track wends through forests that vary constantly with the altitude and finally opens out into open moorland below rocky, snow-covered Kibo plateau. It has 3 volcanic centers, Shira, Kibo, and Mawenzi. Mt. Kilimanjaro can be climbed at any time during the year. However, it is good to avoid the rainy season – April, May, and November.
