“I like to push myself. I like to see how far I can go. And if I can climb a mountain, then what can I do next?”
Why Climb Mt. Kilimanjaro?
Aside from pushing yourself to the limit and summiting the highest peak in Africa…
See a different side of Africa
Travel from the turquoise waters and white sands of Zanzibar Island to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro and watch the sun set over the vast African plains below in the shadow of Africa’s mighty snow-capped peak.
The glacier is disappearing
86% of Mount Kilimanjaro’s glacier has melted in the last 100 years and it will likely disappear in the coming few decades. Don’t miss the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to lay eyes on this iconic glacier.
You won’t want to leave the squad
70% of your fellow volunteers will embark on the Kilimanjaro hiking tour after their Tanzania Excursion. Extend the adventure with your new GIVE family and conquer the mountain together.
