At 5,895m, Mt. Kilimanjaro is one of the largest volcanoes ever to break through the Earth's crust. Your challenge is to reach its summit. 



Your trek starts in the rainforests of Lemosho Glades and heads upwards as you acclimatise on Shira Plateau. From here you will catch a glimpse of your goal Kibo, Kilimanjaro's main ice-capped peak. You continue via the beautiful Southern Flank, Barranco Wall and Barafu Route.

Temperatures drop at night, allowing you to enjoy the crisp cool air under the star-studded African skies. During the days you'll rise higher; often looking down on a sea of clouds.

Our groups have excellent success rates (96%) for trekkers reaching the summit, but don't underestimate the challenge ahead. Most trekkers will never have experienced a day as tough as this, with 1,000m of ascent and over 2,000m of descent. It is however victory day!

Highlights include:

• Summiting the world's highest freestanding mountain
• Alternative uncrowded route to the peak
• Bush trekking in unspoilt wilderness
• Every eco-system known to mankind
• Optional safari extension
  

If you would like to see some of ActionAid's work in Tanzania we can try and coordinate a project visit for you either before or after your trek to see first hand how your fundraising can help transform the lives of those living in poverty.

We will support you with your fundraising and can put you in touch with others in your team, as well as people who have done an event before.
