About the event

Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain on the African continent at 5,895m (almost 20,000ft). Its snow-capped summit rises high above the dusty African plains, rewarding those who conquer the mountain with breathtaking views.

This is a challenging trek which will push you to your limits, but one that will provide an incredible feeling of achievement and memories to last a lifetime.

Help us to build a team of trekkers working towards the common goal of finding the next big T1D breakthrough.
