Begin your day with a pickup from your hotel and drive to West Kilimanjaro, passing through a forest reserve. Keep an eye out for Colobus Monkeys in the trees along the way. Arrive at the Shira Plateau, where your hike begins at 3,500 meters above sea level. Lace up your shoes and take in the sounds, smells, and colors of Tanzania’s stunning wilderness. Follow different trails with your guide and enjoy views of Kibo, Kilimanjaro’s highest peak, and its northern glaciers, when the weather permits. Admire the vast plains of neighboring Amboseli National Park in Kenya and the deep gorge of the Simba River. When you reach the northern rim of Shira Crater, take a quick stop at different observation points and see the volcanic cones dotting the landscape below. Hike at your own pace and enjoy a picnic lunch under the open sky along the way. After a 4-hour hike, or earlier if your legs get tired, return to your hotel.
