Shira 1 Camp, at 3,505 m (11,500 ft), is the first overnight campsite on the Shira Plateau. The camp sits in an open alpine landscape with beautiful views of Mount Kilimanjaro. Trekkers can enjoy the peaceful surroundings and dramatic volcanic scenery. Its elevation provides an important opportunity for the body to begin adapting to higher altitude. Shira 1 offers a memorable transition from the rainforest into Kilimanjaro’s high-altitude environment.
