Waitlist started. Interested in a real adventure? Want to challenge yourself and climb Africa’s highest peak (5,895m), and t he highest free standing mountain in the world? I am seeking interest fo r a group of 10 walkers to participate in an 8 day trek to Mount Kiliman jaro with the support of a licensed trekking company. Mt Kilimanjaro can only be climbed with the support of licensed guides. No technical mount ain climbing skills are necessary, although this is nonetheless a seriou s hike requiring long distance walking each day and adjustment to altitu de. We will be hiking the Lemosho Route on the western side of the mount ain, arguably the best all-round route for scenery and acclimatisation s tarting with two days in the forest before crossing the Shira Plateau an d joining the main route to the summit. This is a special once in a life time trip that includes a rare opportunity to spend one night at crater camp next to the Furtwangler Glacier (expected to disappear by 2050), in side the dormant crater of Kilimanjaro, followed by a sunrise climb to U huru Peak. Hike start date to occur sometime between 19 and 29 December 2026 pending consultation with the group. For photographers there is a f ull moon over Kilimanjaro on 24 December 2026. There is an additional op tion of a 5 day safari afterwards organised by the same tour company. Ap proximate costs of the fully supported hike (guides, porters, all meals, camping, fees etc) is approximately $4500.00 ($US $2750). Does not incl ude airfares from Australia to Kilimanjaro International Airport. URL:https://canberrabushwalkingclub.mybilby.com/activities/3229 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
