Kilimanjaro: The Roof of Africa

Africa is a continent of contrasts, and nowhere more beautifully illustrates this than Tanzania, where the snow-capped peak of Kilimanjaro rises majestically above the shimmering heat of the savannah. At 5,895 metres (19,340 feet) Kilimanjaro is not only Africa's highest peak it is also the highest freestanding mountain in the world. Climb Kili 4 Kids is your opportunity to climb to the summit of the 'Roof of Africa', and take part in a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

This will not just be a standard charity trek; In addition to climbing Kilimanjaro participants will also be given the opportunity to spend time at Childreach International projects in the Kilimanjaro region with some of the children that their sponsorship money will benefit.

Furthermore, there will also be the option for participants to extend their stay in Tanzania. From the white sands of Zanzibar Island to arguably some of the best safari parks in the world, there is plenty to keep you occupied.

Participants help out at a local school during lunchtime.

Fundraising target

The minimum fundraising target to take in Climb Kili 4 Kids is only £2,450. Not only will you get to take part in the trip of a lifetime but you'll also make a huge difference to hundreds of children's lives.

Please be aware that some of your fundraising money will be spent on your expenses, though on average, across expeditions, over half will go directly to Childreach International projects around the world. There is also a non-refundable initial registration fee of £245 required.
