• We will walk past Shira 1 Camp, from where we will get frequent views of Kibo Peak floating in the clouds as we make our way to Shira 2.
• As we approach Shira 1, we gain a significant amount of height, and sections of the path are very steep. As you approach Shira 2, you will have the opportunity to see the Northern Ice Fields from the western side of the mountain, as well as some unique Kibo vistas.
• Our gradual ascent over the Shira Plateau's moorland will aid acclimatization, and we will be treated to spectacular panoramic vistas.
