Kilimanjaro Trek

Dates available:
24 September – 03 October 2010
04 – 13 February 2011

Embark on the challenge of a lifetime and push yourself to your physical and mental limits by tackling the slopes of the tremendous Mount Kilimanjaro. At 5,896m, this freestanding dormant volcano, with its snow-capped summit, looks out over Tanzania and Kenya.

You’ll trek the less-trodden Machame route over varied terrain on your way up to the mountain’s highest point, Uhuru Peak. You will walk through forest, moorland and a lunar-like scree landscape before embarking on the final assent of Africa’s highest mountain.

This once in a life time adventure is one of the toughest challenges going but if you think you can handle it then the Mountain’s beauty will leave a life-long imprint on you.
