Starting from your Moshi/Arusha accommodation, the Shira Route Kilimanjaro Day Hike/Cathedral Point travels to the western slope of Mount Kilimanjaro. The trip passes through an area of rich agriculture and native Montane rain forest, where you can see birds and other wildlife including colobus, blue, and velvet monkeys. Reaching Shira Cathedral Point, Mount Kilimanjaro's top, and the Shira plateau takes three hours on the walk. Hikers return to the Morum Barrier gate in the evening, when a car will be waiting to take them back to their Moshi or Arusha lodging.
