There are lots of companies selling Mount Kilimanjaro treks - and like many travel services - there's the good, the OK, and the ones best avoided! Climbing Kilimanjaro is a full-on adventure to almost 6,000 metres - so make sure you choose a quality Kilimanjaro trek operator - and for the right reasons.
Action Challenge has been around since 1999, and we've taken over 5,000 trekkers safely to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, including groups from many leading UK companies and charities.
We offer a range of Kilimanjaro trek itineraries to suit all requirements, and believe that our Challenge Group trips offer the best overall Kilimanjaro experience - and the best value in the market.
We are 100% ATOL bonded – ATOL number 6296. Tour operators who sell air-inclusive travel packages in the UK are required to hold an ATOL licence under UK law. It offers full financial protection by the CAA for clients who have booked package trips. Many companies ONLY offer ABTA protection, which does NOT always fully protect a combined flights and travel itinerary purchased separately. Always read the small print for your Kilimanjaro trip!
For our Kilimanjaro 'Challenge Groups' have qualified UK Leaders with deep experience & passion for what they do - offering full support and daily briefings AND a UK Doctor / Expedition Medic. You may find a cheaper Kilimanjaro climb, but is it worth risking trekking to 6,000m without proper support - which also includes full expedition medical kits, oxygen cylinders, & daily health monitoring whilst on Mount Kilimanjaro?
Local team of English speaking Kilimanjaro Head Guides, assistant guides & Kilimanjaro porters - experienced in working with Action Challenge groups. Incredibly supportive & great fun - and know Kilimanjaro like the back of their hands - many who have climbed Kilimanjaro over 100 times! Approx. 2.5 local guides & porters per Kilimanjaro trekker - who look after the logistics, cooking, toilets, and camping on the mountain - plus the movement of the camp each day whilst on Kilimanjaro.
A successful Kilimanjaro climb starts with good preparation - and our pre-trip support sets us apart from other companies.
All-inclusive Kilimanjaro packages with international flights and connecting transfers - we have built up a portfolio of reputable airlines and local ground operators. Best value Kilimanjaro climb prices without compromising on quality, comfort, or safety. All Kilimanjaro National Park Fees included – a value of over $700+- which some operators don't include! Check the small print of what you get & what you don't on your Kilimanjaro trip!
We run Kilimanjaro Open Evenings in London throughout the year - find out about life on the mountain, what to expect, meet the team and ask us any burning questions you may have! We also run Kilimanjaro Training Weekends in Snowdonia & The Peak District – 2 full days walking / 2 night's accommodation, all meals and a Kilimanjaro briefing in the evening. Theres a 'night climb' option on Snowdon which mirrors the Kilimanjaro summit experience. We also organise a range of Training Walks in the south of England. Test out your kit and your fitness - and you might meet someone going on your Kilimanjaro climb!
Action Challenge has been in business for 20 years - organising events worldwide, taking over 100,000 individuals on challenges, with over £85 million raised for over 500 UK charities through our events. Working with UK's leading charities including, Macmillan Cancer Support, Cancer Research, British Heart Foundation, Help For Heroes, and Marie Curie, - and major companies like British Gas, HSBC, Tesco, DHL, Harrods, BlackRock - and many more.
Private transfers from Kilimanjaro airport to your hotel. Accommodation is in good hotels either side of climb – 3* with swimming pool - & on Kilimanjaro itself - large 2 man tents with camping mats - on a twin-share basis (single during 'Covid' times). Full single supplement option is available. Large mess tent with table and chairs for all the meals on Kilimanjaro. 2-3 Private Toilets per group (Challenge Groups) – cleaned 3 times a day - and quality food at meal time that will keep you going whilst climbing Kilimanjaro.
Kilimanjaro is a tough challenge - and we believe in a bit of celebration to mark the achievements of the group. On the last evening of the Kilimanjaro itinerary we have a lively celebration dinner - with a medal & certificate awards ceremony - and a bit of a party into the night with the group and new found friends.
Many of our customers choose to take up optional trip extension packages - and head off on safari or to the beaches of Zanzibar!
Our Head Office is based in London - and we have an experienced Kilimanjaro team to deal customer service, bookings, flights, logistics - and all the details that make up successful overseas challenge events. We have close links with all the major UK charities - so if you want to link your Kilimanjaro climb to fundraising for a cause that's close to your heart - we can make all the arrangements. All our team get to climb Kilimanjaro - so they have first hand experience of what it's like.
Our UK Mountain Leaders are fully qualified - and expert in taking groups up Kilimanjaro. We've taken over 5,000 adventurers to the summit - and have a first class safety record on Kilimanjaro - with a 24 hour control room back in the UK - which can link up with our leaders and trip doctors via satellite phone when needed.
