Looking for the challenge of a lifetime? Join children’s charity Action Medical Research in a trek to the summit of the highest free-standing mountain in the world – Kilimanjaro! This is a challenging high altitude trek, but you will feel on top of the world when you reach the summit. Click here for more information.
These days we run most of our trips on the Rongai route which retains a sense of untouched wilderness lost on the more popular Marangu and Machame routes. One of the easier 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.
Whichever route you decide to take the climb is a demanding challenge which is rewarded by stunning views of the mountain and the surrounding area. It’s almost impossible to describe the feeling of exhilaration that rushes through you when you stand on the Roof of Africa.
