Private Tour
Tanzania,
Description
This route starts at an altitude of 11600ft/3500m and should only be attempted by trekkers who are already acclimatized or know from previous experience that they can tolerate altitude. From the trailhead the trail heads east across the centre of the Shira Plateau, where it is often likely to spot big game, such as elephant and buffalo. The route then joins up with the Machame Route at Shira Camp and approaches the summit via Stella Point descending via Mweka Camp.
