Transfer from Shira camp1 to Shira Camp 2 for an over night

Wake up for breakfast, break camp, and begin a short hike to Shira Camp2. The hike from Shira Camp 1 to Shira Camp 2 on Mount Kilimanjaro is a gradual ascent through the moorland zone. The trail winds its way through a landscape of short bushes, occasional rocks, and breathtaking views of the surrounding valleys and peaks.

As you climb, the air becomes thinner, and you may start to feel the effects of altitude. It's important to listen to your body and take breaks as needed. The trail can be exposed to the elements, so be prepared for changing weather conditions, including wind, rain, and sun. The highlight of this hike is the stunning panorama from Shira Ridge, where you can see the vast expanse of the Shira Plateau and the glaciers of Kibo Peak in the distance. The sense of accomplishment upon reaching Shira Camp 2, knowing you've conquered another leg of your Kilimanjaro journey, is truly rewarding.

Remember to stay hydrated, pace yourself, and enjoy the incredible sceneries.

Hike from Shira Camp 2 Lava tower | Barranco camp

Shira Camp2| Lava Tower to Barranco Camp

Altitude: 3,840 m – 3,960 m
Hiking distance: 11 km
Hiking time: 7–8 hours

The route now turns east into a semi desert and rocky landscape surrounding Lava Tower, where you reach an
altitude of 4630m after about a 5 hours walk. Lunch is served in a designated area before ascending the rocky scree
path to Lava Tower (4630m). Definitely the toughest day so far. It is normally around this point, where for the first
time, some climbers will start to feel symptoms of breathlessness, irritability and headaches. After lunch, you
descent again by almost 680m to the Barranco camping area and after reaching the high altitude of 4600m at Lava
Tower, the true acclimatization benefit of this day becomes clear.
The camp is situated in a valley below the Breach and Great Barranco Wall, which should provide you with a
memorable sunset while you wait for the preparation of your dinner and overnight at Barranco Camp.
