Rising dramatically from the plains of the Great Rift Valley and bordering Kenya and Tanzania, Mt Kilimanjaro, at 5896 m (19,340 f t), is Africa’s highest mountain. This dormant and permanently snow-capped volcano is the highest freestanding mountain in the world.

Our treks will follow the seven-day, 33km Rongai Route which takes you up through equatorial rainforest, offering the chance to see local wildlife before crossing high moorland with views of the eastern icefields and the crater rim. Although there is no technical climbing on this ascent, the trails are demanding and a sound level of fitness will be required to participate.

It is the ultimate physical and mental challenge for any fit trekker, which means you will earn every penny of the sponsorship money you raise to take part in this once in a lifetime trip.

In order to secure a place on one of the treks you will need to make an initial contribution of £250 upon registration, which will go towards the cost of the trek itself. We will return your cheque if you do not get a place. We also ask you to make a commitment to raise a minimum of £2900. Of this amount, £1590 will go towards the work being achieved in our project countries.

Please note that places are limited. If you would like to join us please download and complete the PDF registration and medical forms below:
