Kilimanjaro Expedition Dispatches
Big Brothers Big Sisters Kilimanjaro Climb, Culture Tour, and Safari
Lemosho Route, February 27 – March 17, 2009
Big Brothers Big Sisters joins Berg Adventures again on our unforgettable Lemosho climb and 6 Day Safari.
Big Brothers Big Sisters is an organization that provides mentoring programs across Canada. With the help of volunteers, they are able to help finding a mentor for a young child who can greatly benefit from having a role model.
For the 3rd consecutive year, BBBS will summit Kilimanjaro in an effort to raise money and awareness for these important programs for today’s youth.
Join us as we climb the Lemosho Route where we will have the ultimate experience of sleeping in the crater of Kilimanjaro at 18,700 feet and come face to face with the animals of the Serengeti!
