After breakfast, our driver-guide will pick you from your hotel and drive to Kilimanjaro National Park Londorossi Gate which is located to the western side of the mountain and up through the forests to the Londorossi Gate at an altitude of 2,100m. You will then start your day trek through tropical montane forests, home to a variety of animals and birdlife. With the help of your guide, you may spot colobus monkeys, crested turacos and more. You will proceed up to the vast Shira Plateau, at 3,400m. You will enjoy your lunch then continue on to Shira 1 Camp, Lion Gorge and the foothills of the Shira Pinnacles.

Great views! We had good luck with the weather. Got a Kilimanjaro fealing. Remind you are entering 3000m altitude in a sudden and dont forget sunprotection.
Dear our esteemed client, thank you for the five star review, we hope you had amazing time at Shira plateu. The panoramic view will make it a memorable adventure with KLM Safaris. Welcome again for more experiences
Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro with KLM Safaris was an incredible quest journey that really deserves to be done repeatedly. As a landscape ecology and nature conservation scientist we actually did a lot, we hiked up to Mandara hut then we soared further to Maundi Crater watching a very nice view from the top of the crater to inside. Along the way to Mandara hut we saw beautiful mother nature (salient diversity of flora and fauna). The trip was also good for healthy exercising as weel getting an opportunity to discuss further research projects that can be carried out within the mountain landscape. We were nicely treated and the services were gorgeous from the start to the end. Millions of thanks to Dr. Gilead Minja and his team for generosity quality service and caring. I and my colleagues from Germany and Belgium looking forward to work with you in future
Thank you Oforo for reviewing your excursion with us to Mandara Hut Kilimanjaro. We are happy to learn that you enjoyed the whole excursion and your looking forward for more excursions in the future. Welcome again
