Mt. Kilimanjaro is one of the few great mountains in the world that can be hiked to its summit. It is the only one of the seven continents’ tallest mountains to allow this access. No technical climbing expertise is necessary. Participants carry only light day-packs and will sleep in tents. Porters will carry our belongings and all of the needed gear on their heads up the mountain. Nevertheless, the hike is long and challenging. Everyone who reaches the top considers it one of the great accomplishments of their lives. Success is achieved by a combination of will power and disciplined walking technique. Although it is classified a “hike,” only persons in good health who have prepared both physically and mentally should attempt the climb.
Certain to be a life altering experience, the trip is designed to acquaint the group with the Global Alliance for Africa integrated approach to provide assistance to children orphaned by HIV/AIDS in Africa.
We will have the opportunity to see Africa from the roof to the real world!
