The Shira cave is called a cave because it is close to a cave that was used as accommodation in the early days of climbing Kilimanjaro. This campsite is the second overnight campsite that you encounter when using the Machame route.
For security reasons, the old ways of using caves as a way of accommodation on Mount Kilimanjaro have since been banned by authorities.
Every climber with the intention to stay at this campsite has to bring their own tents since there are no accommodation structures in this camping area.
