Kilimanjaro Trek | September 2025


If you're looking for the ultimate trekking challenge, look no further than Mt Kilimanjaro and achieve something incredible!

Departing on 11th September 2025, this is a tough trek in the world of charity challenge events which follows the beautiful Machame Route, approaching Kilimanjaro from the south. The route has been designed allowing gradual acclimatisation to the altitude – with an extra day included, giving a platform for summit success.  With Global Adventure Challenges' exceptional support and care combined with highly trained leaders and medics, you will achieve and conquer the toughest of treks together as one.

why trek FOR aFRICAN CHILDREN’S fUND?

Seemingly small donations enable our partners to minimise school absence and improve outcomes for children, leading to improved opportunities into adulthood: 

  • £12 provides a girl in Tanzania with reusable sanitary towels and access to social education forums so she won't miss one week in four of her schooling; 

  • £20 covers the cost of a care pack for an orphaned family in Zimbabwe so they children concentrate on learning rather than working;

  • £90 pays for a mug of porridge for 1,000 children in Kenya, reducing the need for working, scavenging or begging for food;

  • £250 supports a social worker in Uganda, to resettle a child rescued from the streets with a family.
