An inspiring trek to the very peak of the highest mountain in Africa.
This challenge is as much a mental battle as a physical one but is consistently called the “best experience of my life” by participants.
This vast, snow-capped dormant volcano is found in the southern hemisphere in Northwest Tanzania, close to the Kenyan border. The uppermost point of the world's highest free-standing mountain is Uhuru peak.
This is a 10 day round trip from the UK, climbing via the Rongai Route. It’s a tough challenge and you will need to train for it but once you reach the summit it’ll be worth it!
Please note there are several dates available for this challenge
"What I love about the treks is the fact you get to see truly breathtaking scenery whilst helping to support Sue Ryder's exceptional work. For me they're the perfect fundraiser."
Our overseas challenges are provided by our preferred supplier, Maximum Adventure (TOPP & ATOL protected).
