Shira 2 Camp

Shira 2 Camp sits at approximately 3,850 meters (12,631 feet), offering a vital acclimatization point with stunning views.

Trekkers on the Lemosho and Shira routes stay at Shira 2 before heading toward the Lava Tower and beyond.

You’ll sleep in sturdy, weatherproof tents equipped with foam mattresses, sleeping bags, and thermal liners for cold nights.

Well, your mountain chef prepares hot, nutritious meals with carbs and vegetables to support your trek and recovery.

Basic toilet facilities are available—usually pit latrines or portable chemical toilets. Hygiene supplies are recommended.

Shira 1 Camp is your second night stop, ideal for acclimatization on the Shira Plateau with wide-open views and wildlife sightings. Shira 2 Camp, slightly higher in elevation, offers more dramatic panoramas of Mount Meru and Kibo Peak and serves as a launch point toward the Lava Tower. Both are in the Moorland Zone, but Shira 2 feels more remote and exposed, with stronger winds and colder nights.
