As one of Scotland's leading Children's Charities Aberlour Child Care Trust is planning a Charity Fundraising expedition to climb Mt Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. Named Kilts2Kilimanjaro you have the chance to be part of a uniquely Scottish event. Wear your clan tartan and take a five day trek to the summit and two days to descend (well it is downhill) – and yes Kilts Are Compulsory!
After all the trekking you’ll fly to Zanzibar for a three day “recovery” before returning to the UK.
Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa at 19,344 ft and on a clear day it can be seen from the Tsavo plains more than 100 miles away. It is an extinct volcano and its summit is distinguished by a prominent crater. Although it is located just three degrees south of the Equator, its summit is currently permanently covered with snow and ice. Of the various routes which ascend the mountain's flanks, the Rongai route offers the best combination of gradual ascent, beautiful scenery and quiet paths.
