The snow capped mountain rises to an impressive 19,341 feet and boasts five distinct ecological zones. The various routes pass through the cultivated lower slopes, Montane forest, heath and moorland, and alpine desert stretching to the ice capped summit.
Experts on global warming predict that within 10 years the glaciers will have disappeared... even more reason to witness one of the most breathtaking natural wonders of the world while you still can.

Kilimanjaro Charity
The Village Education Project
Challenge sponsorship will be spent on the renovation of the seven rudimentary classrooms and facilities that make up the Kilaremo Primary School.
Most schools are in poor condition with earth floors, breeze-block walls, no shutters or doors, and decrepit desks. Over 90% of primary school leavers in rural villages never have the chance of secondary education. The Primary School provides vital basic education for children that is the key to any lasting development for their communities.
Depending on the total funds raised, G4G will also fund the Mrokora Primary School, in the Marangu district & Nkweseko Primary School, in the Machame district.
