Kilimanjaro Summit Climb - Lemosho Route
At 5,895m, Mt. Kilimanjaro is one of the largest volcanoes ever to break through the Earth's crust. Your challenge is to reach its summit.
Your trek starts in the rainforests of Lemosho Glades and heads upwards as you acclimatise on Shira Plateau. From here you will catch a glimpse of your goal Kibo, Kilimanjaro's main ice-capped peak. You continue via the beautiful Southern Flank, Barranco Wall and Barafu Route.
Temperatures drop at night, allowing you to enjoy the crisp cool air under the star-studded African skies. During the days you'll rise higher; often looking down on a sea of clouds.
Our groups have excellent success rates (96%) for trekkers reaching the summit, but don't underestimate the challenge ahead. Most trekkers will never have experienced a day as tough as this, with 1,000m of ascent and over 2,000m of descent. It is however victory day!

London to Paris Bike Ride
Your London to Paris cycling challenge will see you cycling 234 miles (377kms) over 3 days and through 2 countries.
Your challenge begins in the leafy suburbs of West London where you will meet the rest of your group and navigate your way out of Greater London through the English countryside to the South coast. You will head towards Hampton Court and then off on relatively traffic free, small country roads, negotiating the North and South Downs to Portsmouth. You then board an overnight ferry to Caen, snuggling into your berth for the night for a restful sleep following a long first day and a great cycling experience.
Your second day will see you continue your exciting journey past pretty French hamlets and through the beautiful French countryside until you reach the town of Evreux.
The penultimate day of your challenge pushes your stamina with 73miles (118kms) of cycling and over 1000m of ascent to Paris and to the famous Arc de Triomphe, end point of the Tour de France. It is here you can celebrate in style with a glass of champagne overlooking the Champs Elysees. You will then return home the following afternoon with some well earned comfort on the Eurostar.
