An early wake-up and breakfast will start your day as you trek towards Shira 1 Camp (3,505 m), a relatively easy hike of 5-6 hours. This hike will allow you to start the acclimatization process, and you will be able to view Shira Plateau and Kibo Volcano. After reaching the camp, you will rest, and lunch will be served.
