Want to challenge yourself and cli mb Africa’s highest peak (5,895m), and the highest free standing mount ain in the world? I am seeking interest for a group of 10 walkers to par ticipate in an 8 day trek to Mount Kilimanjaro with the support of a lic ensed trekking company. Mt Kilimanjaro can only be climbed with the supp ort of licensed guides. No technical mountain climbing skills are necess ary, although this is nonetheless a serious hike requiring long distance walking each day and adjustment to altitude. We will be hiking the Lemo sho Route on the western side of the mountain, arguably the best all-rou nd route for scenery and acclimatisation starting with two days in the f orest before crossing the Shira Plateau and joining the main route to th e summit. This is a special once in a lifetime trip that includes a rare opportunity to spend one night at crater camp next to the Furtwangler G lacier (expected to disappear by 2050), inside the dormant crater of Kil imanjaro, followed by a sunrise climb to Uhuru Peak. Hike start date to occur sometime between 19 and 29 December 2026 pending consultation with the group. For photographers there is a full moon over Kilimanjaro on 2 4 December 2026. There is an additional option of a 5 day safari afterwa rds organised by the same tour company. Approximate costs of the fully s upported hike (guides, porters, all meals, camping, fees etc) is approxi mately $4500.00 ($US $2750). Does not include airfares from Australia to Kilimanjaro International Airport. URL:https://canberrabushwalkingclub.mybilby.com/activities/3229 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
