Kilimanjaro trek

Climb Mount Kilimanjaro for RNIB

Conquer Mount Kilimanjaro is the highest peak in Africa and the highest free-standing mountain in the world at 5,895 metres. Marvel at the diverse ecosystem from cultivated farmlands on the lower levels, through lush rainforest and alpine meadow to a barren lunar landscape at the top. Watch sunrise from the summit. This is our most challenging event and is not for the faint hearted.
