Mt Kilimanjaro Machame Route
Written By Leonardo Gubinelli
Summit the famous Mt Kilimanjaro, support a local literacy project
This is the alternative Mount Kilimanjaro experience. Not only will you summit one of the world’s most iconic mountains, but you will get the chance to take part in a local literacy project at the foothills of the mountain. 1000’s of people every year use the great Kilimanjaro climb as a way of fundraising for overseas charities. 1000’s of starving children and marginalised families witness this on a daily basis. At the foothills of Kilimanjaro lie local schools desperately in need of help, where many 14 year-olds still cannot read or write. We plan to reinvent these rural schools and turn them into desirable and successful places. On top of your charity of choice, why not join us and fundraise for the people of the mountain.
You will climb Mt Kilimanjaro via the Machame route. This is the most popular route up the mountain. It’s shorter than some and can be more difficult with steeper paths and less time to acclimatise. However, this shouldn’t be a problem for people who are in shape and have some hiking experience.
