Mount Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa and is famously visited by climbers. For those looking to add purpose to their adventure, the Born Free Kilimanjaro Climb allows for an iconic hike to be used for aiding in the conservation of wildlife. This ambitious expedition allows climbers to help fund the construction of lion-proof housing that protects local villages and the lions in Kenya. Climb Kilimanjaro for Lion Conservation and turn your adventure into a meaningful cause.

The Born Free Kilimanjaro Climb is more than just a trek; it gives trekkers the reason to climb for the greater good. Participants look for the large goal and earn the breathtaking views of the peak while engaging in an incredible adventure. Every single trekking activity helps in constructing lion-proof housing encampments in Kenya. These bomas help not only protect the livestock but also the lions by preventing violence between them and the local wildlife.

Climbers are set a challenge of raising funds for building more bomas, and the proceeds of the climb go directly to boma construction. They take wanderlust to the next level as they know where their money is going, and after knowing the purpose behind the climb—protection of Africa’s lions and aiding local people—the experience feels holistic. Climb Kilimanjaro for Lion Conservation and be part of a mission that safeguards wildlife and supports communities.

This encouraging cause is supported by Somak Safaris and the Born Free Foundation. Somak Safaris are seasoned in implementing sustainable tourism and efficient conservation practices, so needless to say, Somak Safaris make the overall experience of being part of the Born Free Kilimanjaro Climb an enjoyable challenge.

This makes it a truly meaningful experience that students should definitely consider being a part of.
