Charity Challenge

As part of our commitment to making the world a better place, E-Trip Africa has developed the Kilimanjaro Charity Challenge Trekking Sereies, which supports non-profit organizations and their projects that create positive and measurable impacts.  Challenge Kilimanjaro Trekking Series as a valuable fundraising tool for both local and international charitable organizations, that also provides positive media coverage about the cause.

This is your opportunity to climb the highest peak in Africa, while raising funds for your favorite charity.   There  is   no better   motivation  to   keep climbing and reach the top, than knowing that a good cause is behind you.

Our Charity Challenge Treks are offered on both the Lemosho and Machame routes, which provide climbers the best scenery along these lesser used routes.  Due to the topographical feature of both routes, they also boost the highest rates of successful summit attempts.

We have teamed up with Active Giving, to provide you with the most powerful tools to reach potential sponsors and track your fundraising efforts.  Specially integrated features for email, Facebook and other interactive media allows you to spend more time training and less time fundraising.

Join one of our existing Charity Challenges or contact our operations team and we will help you setup your own Charity Challenge.

Mount Kilimanjaro

Climbing Kilimanjaro is a life goal for many people.  Nearly 25,000 climbers set out to conquer her each year, making Kilimanjaro the most climbed mountain in the World.

Standing at 19,341 feet above sea level, Kilimanjaro is the tallest mountain in the world that does not require any mountaineering skills, specialized equipment, or previous experience.  However, the climb should not be taken lightly.  Reaching the summit is physically and mentally challenging, testing the endurance of even the most physically fit Trekkers.
