Raise funds for Show Racism the Red Card

Summit the world's highest freestanding mountain

Bush trekking in unspoilt wilderness and every eco-system known to mankind

Enter the new year with a Fresh Start on Wed 17 Jan 2007 - Sun 28 Jan 2007
Join our fundraising partners at Charity Challenge to top Africa's Highest Peak


Treks have been a feature of Show Racism the Red Card (UK) fundraising and we are now offering you the chance to do some good for yourself and Show Racism the Red Card Ireland.

At 5,895m, Mt. Kilimanjaro is one of the largest volcanoes ever to break through the Earth’s crust. Your challenge is to reach its summit.

Your trek starts in the rainforests of Lemosho Glades and heads upwards as you acclimatise on Shira Plateau. From here you will catch a glimpse of your goal – Kibo, Kilimanjaro’s main ice-capped peak. You continue via the beautiful Southern Flank, Barranco Wall and Barafu Route.

Temperatures drop at night, allowing you to enjoy the crisp cool air under the star-studded African skies. During the days you’ll rise higher; often looking down on a sea of clouds.

Our groups have excellent success rates (96%) for trekkers reaching the summit, but don’t underestimate the challenge ahead. Most trekkers will never have experienced a day as tough as this, with 1,000m of ascent and over 2,000m of descent. It is however victory day!
