About this challenge

Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain on the African continent at 5895m. Its snow-capped summit rises high above the dusty African plains; huge permanent glaciers flow down from the summit, spectacular views and beautiful ice formations are the reward for pushing your limits both physically and mentally.

This trek takes the Machame route, allowing gradual acclimatisation to the altitude and an excellent chance of reaching the summit. You will pass through thick forest, moorland and scree en route to Uhuru Peak, the highest point. This is a challenging trek at altitude, climbing one of the most impressive mountains in the world. This is an open challenge organised by Discover Adventure, so you'll be sharing the experience with like-minded adventurers supporting a variety of charities. It's a fantastic opportunity to meet new people while taking on an unforgettable challenge together.

Ideal for anyone seeking a rewarding challenge, regardless of experience. All you need is determination, commitment and a sense of adventure.
