Challenge yourself on a once-in-a-lifetime adventure and bring clean water to Bomet County, Kenya.

Mount Kilimanjaro is the highest free-standing mountain in the world and YOU could be standing at it's summit.

Experience a 6-day trek through diverse landscapes, terrains and ecological zones ranging from lush rainforest to alpine desert. You will have the opportunity to camp under the stunning expanse of starry night skies, while being rewarded with unforgettable sunrises and breathtaking views along the way.
 
Throughout your journey to the peak of 5895m, a team of experienced local guides and porters will be with you every step of the way. As you come together as one united family, you'll be able to accomplish something extraordinary and create memories that will last a lifetime.
