Fully supported

This Kilimanjaro Challenge is exclusive to those wishing to fundraise for us.

With a high summit success rate, it will use the Lemosho route. Close to 20,000 feet high, ‘Kili’ is a genuinely tough challenge but extremely rewarding.

The challenge is an eight-day and seven-night trek, with four nights spent in the acclimatisation zone.

You’ll approach ‘Kili’ from the west side, ascending through the rainforest and high bushland before emerging onto the vast Shira Plateau. This route is  considered the prettiest route on the mountain.

Along this southern circuit of the mountain, you will encounter the unmistakable Lava Tower and the infamous Barranco Wall. The experienced team from our friends at Travel and Trek will take care of you and get you ready for that tough final ascent to the summit through the night.
