Kickstart your year with the ultimate trekking adventure, and join us as we summit Kilimanjaro!

One of the Seven Summits and the highest freestanding mountain in the world, Kilimanjaro is on many adventurers’ bucket lists. You can now make your challenge of a lifetime even more memorable by reaching the summit on January 1st - what better way to celebrate the New Year!
