Please join waitlist. Interested in a real adventure? Want to challenge yourself and climb Africa’s highest peak (5,895m), a nd the highest free standing mountain in the world? I am seeking interes t for a group of 10 walkers to participate in an 8 day trek to Mount Kil imanjaro with the support of a licensed trekking company. Mt Kilimanjaro can only be climbed with the support of licensed guides. No technical m ountain climbing skills are necessary, although this is nonetheless a se rious hike requiring long distance walking each day and adjustment to al titude. We will be hiking the Lemosho Route on the western side of the m ountain, arguably the best all-round route for scenery and acclimatisati on starting with two days in the forest before crossing the Shira Platea u and joining the main route to the summit. This is a special once in a lifetime trip that includes a rare opportunity to spend one night at cra ter camp next to the Furtwangler Glacier (expected to disappear by 2050) , inside the dormant crater of Kilimanjaro, followed by a sunrise climb to Uhuru Peak. Hike start date to occur sometime between 19 and 29 Decem ber 2026 pending consultation with the group. For photographers there is a full moon over Kilimanjaro on 24 December 2026. There is an additiona l option of a 5 day safari afterwards organised by the same tour company . Approximate costs of the fully supported hike (guides, porters, all me als, camping, fees etc) is approximately $4500.00 ($US $2750). Does not include airfares from Australia to Kilimanjaro International Airport. URL:https://canberrabushwalkingclub.mybilby.com/activities/3229 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
