Mount Kilimanjaro Shira Route - Tanzania Mountain Trekking -

"Your guides were simply the best. We took the Machame Route and had a marvelous climb. All four of us made the summit with the help of your guides, cooks and porters. We could not have done it so easily without that support."

MT. KILIMANJARO SHIRA ROUTE
Unless specifically requested by climbers who are already acclimatised to 4000m from the ascent of Meru or another mountain, and wanting vehicle support to the Shira Plateau, we only use the Shira Route for mountain safety work as a fast way of reaching the summit or Western Breach when short on time. It is possible for an acclimatised member of our staff to leave Arusha early in the morning and be on the summit the same day by driving up to around 3,760m.

The route functions as a rescue track. If a sick climber is evacuated west of the Breach Wall he will usually walk or be carried on a stretcher to an ambulance that will have ascended to a point only 15 minutes below Shira Hut. From here it is only 1 hour and 15 minutes by vehicle to Londorossi Gate where a reasonably good main dirt road (except in wet weather when conditions can be treacherous) takes us to Arusha in around 2.5 hours.
