Are you planning to take on your own personal challenge in memory of a loved one or for someone living with a brain tumour? We have a range of treks, cycle rides and climbing excursions for intrepid fundraisers who want to take on something a little different, in partnership with charitychallenge.
Kilimanjaro Summit Climb – Rongai Route
Wed 10 October – Sat 20 October 2012
At 5,895m, Mt. Kilimanjaro is one of the largest volcanoes ever to break through the Earth’s crust. Your challenge is to reach its summit.
Our groups have excellent success rates for trekkers reaching the summit, but don’t underestimate the challenge ahead. Most trekkers will never have experienced a day as tough as this, with 1,000m of ascent and over 2,000m of descent. It is however victory day!

Each day you will trek 12kms along the stony path and through the mountains; this challenge may be demanding, but it is also extremely rewarding.
