Kilimanjaro New Year's Trek

Start off the New Year by climbing Africa's tallest mountain in order to raise funds and awareness for Flying Kites Global. Standing on the highest point in Africa and looking out across this vast and varied continent is a sublime experience. This is a world-class trek, physically demanding, yet accessible to anyone with sufficient determination. 

Mt Kilimanjaro is one of the largest, inactive stratovolcanoes in the world, rising over 19,000 feet from its base. The mountain has a variety of forest types and is home to over 1,200 vascular plant species. The trek begins at the Machame Park where you will hike through fields of "busy Lizzie" flowers, begonias and ferns, making camp among giant heather. In addition to unique plant and wildlife, you will experience a variety of interesting geological features unique to this type of volcano. Explore craters, volcanic caldera as well as unusual volcanic rocks and boulders. By the fifth day of your trek, you will be standing on the highest point of the African continent, proud to have conquered one of the famous Seven Summits.
