About the event
Embrace a truly lifechanging experience and conquer the famous 'roof of Africa'. Face up to majestic Mount Kilimanjaro, trekking from the savannah heat to the frozen summit at a 5,895m above sea level, the highest point in Africa. This is a multi-day trek to serious altitude, led by highly-experienced guides facing the sub-zero temperatures and thin air of the mountain peak. Tough, but truly rewarding, this challenge promises memories to last a lifetime.
The Lemosho route is one of the most scenic ways to reach the top, offering incredible views from the rainforests to the cold summit, trekking through five incredible, unspoilt eco-systems . You’ll be supported every step of the way by the Charity Challenge team with a qualified mountain leader & medic who fly out with the team, plus a highly experienced local crew. The package includes flights, hotels, all camping equipment, meals, permits and more.
