Itinéraire

6 jours et 5 nuits . Tanzanie . Aventure multi-environnementale

Le Kilimandjaro tout-puissant organise des treks sur la route Shira. La route Shira traverse le grand plateau Shira pour rejoindre la route Machame. Le plateau de Shira, à l'ouest du Kibo, est le vestige du premier volcan du Kilimandjaro. Le Mawenzi est entré en éruption en second lieu, et finalement, soutenu par ses voisins, le Kibo s'est élevé à sa grande hauteur entre le Shira et le Mawenzi. Plus anciens et plus érodés que le Mawenzi, les crêtes et les landes du plateau de Shira constituent l'une des régions les plus pittoresques du Kilimandjaro. Le trajet jusqu'à Shira offre des vues magnifiques sur la vallée du Rift, le mont Meru et le Longido. Les cônes parasites du plateau s'étendent au nord de la route, s'élevant de la plaine au plateau. Les changements de végétation le long de la route sont frappants. Le plateau est constitué de prairies, de landes et de bruyères, avec des senecios pouvant atteindre 10 mètres de haut dans les vallées proches des cônes. Vous pouvez voir des élands sur le plateau, ainsi que des buffles, des léopards et d'autres animaux. Le cône de Shira s'élève à 200 mètres au-dessus du plateau, et à l'ouest du cône se trouve la crête de Shira, une montée abrupte et rugueuse atteignant presque 400 mètres au-dessus du plateau. La crête sud du plateau de Shira comporte deux pics spectaculaires, la Cathédrale et l'Aiguille. La route de Shira n'est accessible qu'aux véhicules à quatre roues motrices et peut devenir impraticable en période de pluie. La route de Shira traverse le plateau pour rejoindre la route de Machame.

Programme du circuit

Day 1

Jour 1 : Camp de Shira

After breakfast and a briefing from your guide, leave Moshi and drive for several hours to the Shira Gate on the western side of Kilimanjaro, register with the national park. Begin hiking, and enter the rain forest immediately. Your walk through the rainforest is on a winding muddy trail up a ridge. At these lower elevations, it can be wet and muddy, so gaiters and trekking poles will help. Stop halfway for lunch, and reach the Shira Camp in the afternoon. Unpack, rest, and have some tea or coffee. Dinner is served during the early evening at 7 PM.

Point de départ

Moshi, Kilimanjaro, Tanzania

08:00 - 09:00

Day 2

Jour 2 : Camp de Shira

After breakfast, you will hike east up a steepening path above the highest vegetation toward Kilimanjaro’s looming mass. After several hours, you walk through a rocky landscape to reach the prominent landmark called Lava Tower at 4,630 m/15,190 ft. This chunky remnant of Kilimanjaro’s earlier volcanic activity is several hundred feet high, and the trail passes right below it. For extra credit, the sure-footed can scramble to the top of the tower. After a lunch stop near Lava Tower, descend for 2 hours below the lower cliffs of the Western Breach and Breach Wall to Barranco Camp at 3,950 m/12,960 ft. There are numerous photo opportunities on this hike, especially if the walls are festooned with ice. Barranco Camp is in a valley below the Breach and Great Barranco Walls, which should provide you with a memorable sunset while you wait for your dinner. On this day, be careful to notice any signs of altitude sickness.

Day 3

Jour 3 : Camp de Barranco

After breakfast, we continue up a steep ridge to the great Barranco Wall, then you climb this imposing obstacle, which turns out to be easier than it looks. Topping out just below the Heim Glacier, you can now appreciate just how beautiful Kilimanjaro really is. With Kibo’s glaciers soaring overhead, you descend into the lush Karanga valley to the Karanga Valley campsite. From the camp, you can look east and see the jagged peaks of Mawenzi jutting into the African sky. After a hot lunch in camp, your afternoon is at leisure for resting or exploring. After two long days, this short day is very important for your acclimatization, since your summit push is about to start.

Day 4

Jour 4 : Barafu Hut

In the morning, you hike east over intervening ridges and valleys to join the Mweka Route, which will be your descent route. Turn left toward the mountain and hike up the ridge through a sparse landscape for another hour to the Barafu Hut where you will receive a hot lunch. The last water on the route is in the Karanga Valley; there is no water at Barafu Camp, even though Barafu is the Swahili word for “ice.” The famous snows of Kilimanjaro are far above Barafu Camp near the summit of the mountain. Your tent will be pitched on a narrow, stony, wind-swept ridge, so make sure that you familiarize yourself with the terrain before dark to avoid any accidents. Prepare your equipment and warm clothing for your summit climb, and drink a lot of fluids. After an early dinner, go to bed for a few hours of precious sleep

Day 5

Jour 5 : Camp de Mweka

You will rise around 11:30 PM, and after some steaming tea and biscuits, you shuffle off into the night. Your 6-hour climb northwest up through heavy scree between the Rebmann and Ratzel glaciers to Stella Point on the crater rim is the most challenging part of the route for most climbers. At Stella Point (5,685 m/18,650 ft) you stop for a short rest and a chance to see a supremely sanguine sunrise. At Stella Point, you join the top part of the Marangu Route but do not stop here too long, as it will be extremely difficult to start again due to cold and fatigue. Depending on the season and recent storms, you may encounter snow on your remaining hike along the rim to Uhuru Peak. On the summit, you can enjoy your accomplishment and know that you are creating a day that you will remember for the rest of your life. After your 3-hour descent from the summit back to Barafu Camp, you will have a well-earned but short rest, collect your gear, and hike down a rock and scree path into the moorland and eventually into the forest to Mweka Camp (3,100 m/10,170 ft). This camp is in the upper forest, so you can expect mist or rain in the late afternoon. Dinner and washing water will be prepared, and the camp office sells drinking water, soft drinks, chocolates, and beer

Day 6

Jour 6 : Porte de Mweka

After a well-deserved breakfast, it is a short, scenic, 3-hour hike back to the park gate. Don’t give your porters any tips until you and all your gear have reached the gate safely, but do remember to tip your staff at the gate. At Mweka Gate, you can sign your name and add details to a register. This is also where successful climbers receive their summit certificates. Climbers who reached Stella Point are issued green certificates and those who reached Uhuru Peak receive gold certificates. From the Mweka Gate, you will continue down to the Mweka Village, possibly a muddy, 3 km, 1-hour hike if the road is too muddy for vehicles. In the Mweka Village, you will be served a delicious hot lunch after which you are driven back to Moshi for an overdue hot shower and comfortable night at your hotel
