Mountain Kilimanjaro Hiking

Safari summary

Embarking on a trek with Home of Wonders Tours is an exceptional opportunity to explore some of the most captivating landscapes and challenging routes available. Our tour offers a unique experience that blends the thrill of adventure with the allure of untouched natural beauty.

Our trekking itinerary closely resembles the renowned Lemosho route but starts from a higher elevation of 3,600 meters. This elevated starting point, which begins at Shira Gate and progresses to Simba Camp on the initial day, introduces an exciting challenge for those who might not be well-acclimated to high altitudes. On the following day, the trail connects with the Lemosho Route at Shira Camp 2. This ascent from a higher altitude, however, comes with its own set of challenges. Many trekkers find themselves grappling with altitude sickness from the very beginning, as there is minimal time for acclimatization.

One of the significant highlights of this route is the Shira Plateau, a magnificent expanse offering various potential diversions. After departing from Shira Camp 2, you'll have the option to intersect with the Machame Route via the Lava Tower. From there, the trail descends towards Barranco Camp through the Southern Circuit, providing a unique vantage point of the landscape. The final push to Uhuru Peak is routed through Barafu Camp and up the southern slopes of Kibo, presenting a rewarding culmination to your trekking adventure.

A key benefit of choosing this route is its relative seclusion. Unlike more frequented trails, this route offers a quieter experience during the initial days of your trek. This means fewer crowds and a more serene and personal journey as you traverse the early stages of the mountain.
