Trek Mount Kilimanjaro

Climb to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro and raise money to support vulnerable women and girls across the world.

What will I be doing?

Trekking

Climbing the highest mountain in Africa will take a little preparation - we will provide you with detailed training plans to help reach the summit. 

Food

On trekking days we will enjoy big cooked breakfasts, packed lunches and a variety of delicious hot dinners, catering for all dietary requirements.

Making friends

Whether you sign up on your own or with a friend, you'll meet lots of amazing people and great volunteers of all ages!

Visiting other ActionAid projects

If you wish to extend your trip we can arrange for you to visit nearby ActionAid projects, to gain a broader insight into our work in Tanzania.

Accommodation

You will be camping in tents on the mountain during the trek, and staying in hotels before and afterwards to ease your aching muscles!

Local culture

There will be the opportunity to have some free time either side of the trek, to take part in some optional tours and explore the town of Moshi.

Why climb for ActionAid?

Sawabu (38) is part of a growing youth movement raising awareness about climate change around Lake Maliwe in Tanzania. 

As a volunteer with the Maliwe Taalamu youth group, Sawabu works alongside other young people to protect the lake and push local authorities to take action on conservation efforts.

The environment in and around Lake Maliwe is changing rapidly due to climate change and human activities that damage natural ecosystems and biodiversity. These changes threaten the lake, local livelihoods, and the wider community.

ActionAid Tanzania is supporting local youth like Sawabu by building their knowledge of climate change and their rights, and strengthening their ability to advocate for environmental protection. Through this support, youth are becoming powerful voices for climate justice and community-led conservation.
