Transfer to Londorossi Gate in the morning, which is the Western entrance of the Kilimanjaro National Park. The drive there takes approximately 3-4 hours. Upon arrival, take in stunning views of the Shira Plateau. Trekking from the drop-off point to the Shira 1 Camp is not physically challenging, the altitude increase is minimal and good for acclimatization. By the time the group reaches the camp, the crew will have arranged the tents and cooked dinner.
