Kilimanjaro Summit Climb

Standing high above the African landscape at 5,895 metres, Mount Kilimanjaro is the tallest freestanding mountain in the world and this is your chance to reach it's summit.

Your trek will take you through the beautiful unspoilt wilderness of Tanzania, while you experience every eco-system known to mankind. By day you will enjoy breathtaking views of the beautiful African landscape and by night you will enjoy cool, crisp air and star-studded African skies.

Not only will you be achieving a huge personal challenge, but every step you take will help to change the lives of people living with cancer.

"Those who have used the services of Penny Brohn Cancer Care have had to climb more than mountains. This served as an inspiration in our bid to complete our challenge. We realised that nothing is impossible when you put your mind to it and this combination of the mind and body, pushing it, challenging it and working with it, is also at the heart of what Penny Brohn Cancer Care does." -Josephine Bush, former Penny Brohn Cancer Care challenge participant.
