The highest freestanding mountain in the world, Mt Kilimanjaro is also the highest mountain on the African continent at 5,896m. Its snow-capped summit rises high above the dusty African plains; huge permanent glaciers flow down from the summit, spectacular views and beautiful ice formations are the reward for pushing your limits both physically and mentally.

This trek takes the less-trodden Machame route, allowing you to camp and fully appreciate the splendour of your surroundings and the clear mist skies. The terrain changes as you ascend the mountain, passing through thick forest, moorland and scree en route to the highest point of the crater, Uhuru Peak.

This is a challenging trek at altitude, climbing one of the most impressive, most well-known mountains in the world. In return for a minimum sponsorship pledge you can take part in this fabulous event.
