Kilimanjaro:  Good reasons why you should

• Because it will make you fitter Indeed, on Kilimanjaro you lose weight even when you’re standing still!
• So you can climb through 4 seasons in a week It’s true – but what are we talking about
• To take fantastic photographs Because, simply put, Kilimanjaro is one of the most beautiful spots on the planet.
• To become friends with the your crew Ornithologist, zoologist, botanist, geologist, butler, manager, doctor, linguist &  teacher – and that’s just your guide!
• To see some of the world’s strangest fauna From high-altitude spiders to a mutilated monkey.
• For the sense of achievement Fancy feeling smug for weeks – we’ll show you how!
• To raise money for charity Sponsors tend to be a bit more generous with their funds when they realise you’re doing something as massive as climbing Kili.
• To get to some serious altitude – under supervision Altitude can do some funny things to the human body – most of them unpleasant. Better, then, to climb to the heights with someone who’s been trained to deal with acute mountain sickness and other high-altitude ailments
• To see the stars It’s comforting to know that the cost of climbing Kilimanjaro won’t necessarily be the only thing that’s astronomical – the rewards can be too.
• To go on safari or visit Zanzibar After all, you’ve spent all that time, effort and money on getting to the summit, so it’s only right that you reward yourselves afterwards.
