About Kilimanjaro Trek

This fantastic trek offers the chance to experience one of the best mountain challenges the world has to offer. Mount Kilimanjaro is the highest free standing mountain in the world and one of the world's 7 highest continental summits. She stands at an impressive 5,895m above sea level, dominating the African skyline looking down over the African plains.

Your challenge is to reach Uhuru Peak following the much less trodden Lemosho Glades route. The Lemosho Trail is said to be one of the most stunningly beautiful hikes in the whole of Africa, and is also considered the best and safest way to summit due to the acclimatisation process on the mountain. Unlike most of the other charity routes up Kilimanjaro, the Lemosho Trail includes eight full days on the mountain, which will maximise your chances of sufficient acclimatisation in order to conquer the mighty peak. 

Following in the exact same footsteps of the Comic Relief celebrity climb, you will trek through an exciting wilderness, leaving you with an amazing sense of accomplishment.
