Kilimanjaro
Africa's highest summit, with time built in for acclimatisation — a demanding altitude trek rather than a technical climb. We run the longer Lemosho route rather than a rushed 6-day version, because more time on the mountain means a real shot at the summit, not just a shot at the mountain.
Not sure where you sit against that? Get in touch — a short conversation tells us more than any checklist, and it's rarely the reason someone doesn't come.
