Kilimanjaro Trek

Join us in Africa for a trek filled with breathtaking panoramic views, exotic wildlife and challenging hikes which will ultimately lead you to Uhuru Peak, the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro.

Mount Kilimanjaro is the highest free standing mountain in the world and one of the world’s 7 highest continental summits. It’s no wonder why so many people flock to her – to experience one of the best mountain charity challenges the world has to offer. She stands at an impressive 5,895m above sea level, dominating the African skyline looking down over the African plains. Our charity challenge for 2013 is to reach Uhuru Peak following the much less trodden Lemosho Glades route

Trek with us from 11th - 22nd September 2013

Registration fee - £549
