The Shira trail is one of the two longer Kilimanjaro climb routes that start on the western side. Those routes both cross the Shira Plateau before joining the Machame Route near the "Lava Tower". On the plus side, a longer route means a better chance to acclimatize to the altitude and better summit chances. The fact that you are likely to climb this route with a quality Kilimanjaro tour operator also means your success chances are much better than average. There is one thing about the Shira Route that sets it apart from all other Kilimanjaro climb routes: the first section of it is a 4WD track. It is possible to drive up a fair way and begin your trek at a considerable altitude.
If you are someone who lives at sea level and tries to squeeze in a Kili climb, taking only one week off from the office, then this could trip you up.
Shira certainly allows plenty of time for acclimatization during the later stages, but some people can develop altitude sickness symptoms at those lower altitudes already. And catapulting yourself from sea level to a height above 3500 m/11500 ft the day after arriving in Tanzania may not be the smartest thing to do.
