Kilimanjaro challenge

About the challenge

Climb the highest freestanding mountain in the world! Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain on the African continent at 5,895m. Its snow-capped summit rises high above the dusty African plains; huge permanent glaciers flow down from the summit, and spectacular views and beautiful ice formations are the reward for pushing your limits – both physically and mentally – on this spectacular challenge.

The trek with Discover Adventure will take the Machame route, allowing you and your group of like-minded trekkers to gradually acclimatise to the altitude and give you an excellent chance of reaching the summit. The route passes 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.

A once-in-a-lifetime experience. It was extremely hard (especially summit night!) but the team were fantastic, we all bonded with each other and all of the local support crew. An amazing experience.

I was looking for a new experience that I could combine with fundraising. The Kilimanjaro trek was absolutely breath-taking - in both senses! Organisation and support, before and during the trip, enabled the entire group to reach the rim of Kilimanjaro. I'd never climbed a mountain of any sort before booking the trip, so there was an almighty sense of achievement.

Our leader was spectacular, and the in-country support was absolutely second to none, especially our head guide. This was an incredibly hard experience but now that I'm home, I can appreciate what it gave me and what I gave to myself by completing it.
