Mount Kilimanjaro Open Challenge Charity: Choose a charity (Open Challenges) Challenge:  Tanzania, Mt Kilimanjaro Charity Challenge Dates: 27/06/2011 -04/07/2011 Deposit*: £ 250 Minimum Sponsorship*: £  3500 Grade:  Very Challenging   Join our Trek Kilimanjaro Open Challenge in June 2011 and join a small group of trekkers who are all raising funds for their chosen charity. Kilimanjaro is one of Africa’s most magnificent sights, and at 5985m it is her highest peak. It's the tallest freestanding volcano in the world and Kibo, which is the central crater, rests on its two sisters Mawenzi and Shira. It’s a tough, ultimate challenge, but we will support you with your fundraising and training before you go, and once on the mountain our team of expert guides and staff will support you every step of the way to reach your summit. We ascend by the Rongai Route, which approaches Kilimanjaro from the north and retains a sense of untouched wilderness lost on the sometimes crowded Marangu and Machame trails. The easiest of all the walking routes up Kilimanjaro, it has a relatively gentle gradient and short daily stages as it winds its way from the starting point just south of the Kenya-Tanzania border. It passes through attractive farmland and delightful forest to several other climatic zones, adding considerably to the interest of the trek. There are magnificent views over the Amboseli Plains and genuine possibilities for wildlife viewing. We finally across a barren lunar landscape to the summit of Kibo, which, despite its position on the Equator, is permanently covered in snow. Signing up for this once in a lifetime challenge is easy.
