The Challenge
Duration
11 days
Grade Challenging level
Straddling the border of Kenya and Tanzania, Kilimanjaro is Africa's
highest mountain - towering 5895m (19,340 ft) over the plains below.
This monolith is the highest free-standing mountain on earth and is
permanently snow-capped. While no technical climbing is involved, this
strenuous 33 km hike winds its way up through equatorial rainforest and
across high moorland to the glacial terrain of the summit. While varying
weather conditions can affect the degree of challenge the climb
presents, if you are fit, you should have few problems - although, of
course, the altitude can affect anyone and has little to do with one's
fitness. This is the ultimate charity challenge and includes a valuable
additional day on the mountain for acclimatisation.
