Mount Kilimanjaro rises out of the plain to stand as Africa’s highest mountain at 5,895m (19,340 feet). From the summit you have the African Plains stretching out before you - a sight to behold and one to remember.

This six day ‘super trek’ is magical, taking us from the hot, tropical jungles through lush forests to alpine tundra and permanent snow. At over 3,000m acclimatization is critical and the trek must be taken at a slow pace, which allows plenty of time to admire the changing landscape. Facilities will be to international standards but don’t expect luxury on the mountain where accommodation is in shared wooden huts. Porters will carry all your gear and food, except daily necessities carried in your own day-packs.

Anyone who is reasonably fit and healthy with a positive attitude should be able to complete the Kilimanjaro Challenge.
