Good Earth Expedition is on a mission to make a difference in the lives of children in Tanzania suffering from malaria. The year of 2026, we are hosting an unprecedented barbecue event atop Mount Kilimanjaro, with the aim of raising funds to provide much-needed mosquito nets. 

Join us as we explore this unique initiative and the impact it aims to create. 

The Fundraising Event 

The event promises to be one for the history books! Attendees will experience the breathtaking views and fresh mountain air while indulging in a delicious barbecue feast. This gathering will not only provide a remarkable experience for those fortunate enough to attend but will also foster a sense of community and support for a critical cause.

1) The first barbecue will be held at Shira One Camp, located at the Shira Plateau, 3,600 meters (11,810 feet) above sea level on day 2 of the trek.

2) The final barbecue will be held at the top of Africa, at an impressive altitude of 5,895 meters (19,341 feet) on day 7 of the trek. This will mark our last barbecue event, followed by celebratory festivities at the hotel the following day.

• Location: Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania, Africa.

• Duration: An eight-days event that begins with an accent and culminates in a celebratory barbecue.

• Activities: Alongside the trekking, participants engage in a series of team-building exercises that promote trust, communication, and collaboration among group members. These activities enhance not only personal connections but also create a supportive climbing atmosphere crucial for success on the mountain. 

Malaria remains a significant public health challenge in Tanzania, particularly affecting young children. It is transmitted by mosquito bites, and prevention through the use of mosquito nets is crucial. Each net can mean the difference between life and death for a child who is vulnerable to this preventable disease.

The Importance of Mosquito Nets

• Protection: Mosquito nets create a physical barrier between children and mosquitoes, particularly at night when mosquitoes are most active.

• Awareness: Providing nets raises awareness about malaria prevention methods and encourages families to seek timely medical care if symptoms arise.

• Community Impact: By distributing mosquito nets, Good Earth Expedition aims to reduce malaria cases and improve the overall health of the community.

Cost of Treated Mosquito Nets in Tanzania

The price of treated mosquito nets in Tanzania can vary based on several factors such as the type of net, the seller, and the specific location. On average, prices for a treated mosquito net can range from 5,000 to 35,000 Tanzanian Shillings (TZS), which is approximately $2 to $12 USD as of the latest evaluations.

It is regarded as one of the most beautiful routes on Kilimanjaro with spectacular scenery and an abundance of wildlife.  Each of the 7 nights on Mount Kilimanjaro will be spent in our high quality four season expedition tents, (Mountain Hardware) The Good Earth Expedition team is excited to guide you up Mount Kilimanjaro to make sure you safely experience the time of your life! 

The Scenic Beauty of The Lemosho Route Kilimanjaro  The Lemosho route is considered by many as the most beautiful route to Kilimanjaro's summit. It's a feast for the eyes, taking climbers through lush rainforests, over alpine meadows, and across barren desert landscapes. The route starts from the western side of the mountain and allows you to witness the stunning Shira Plateau, offering panoramic views that will leave you awe-struck. This varied terrain makes the Lemosho route a visually appealing path that enhances the overall climbing experience. Lemosho Route at a Glance:

Upon your arrival in Arusha, Tanzania you will be warmly welcomed by our dedicated driver, who will provide a personalized meet-and-greet service to ensure your journey begins on a positive note. As you transition to your accommodation, rest assured that every detail has been meticulously arranged to guarantee a smooth and enjoyable experience.

We depart Arusha for Londorossi Gate, roughly a 4-hour drive, where you will complete the entry formalities.

We will then drive to the Lemosho trailhead and upon arrival, we will begin the hike through undisturbed forest which winds its way to the first campsite. Keep your eyes peeled for the blue monkeys swinging through the trees!

We continue on the trail leading out of the rainforest and into a savannah of tall grasses, heather, and volcanic rock draped with lichen beards. As we ascend through the lush rolling hills and cross several streams, we reach the Shira Ridge before dropping gently down to Shira 1 Camp. Here we catch our first glimpse of Kibo across the plateau.

Today, we will spend the full day exploring the Shira Plateau, one of the highest plateaus on earth. It is a gentle walk east on moorland meadows towards Shira 2 Camp. We then divert from the main trail to Moir Hut, a lesser-used camping site at the base of the Lent Hills. A variety of walks are available on Lent Hills making this an excellent acclimatization opportunity.

We begin the day climbing up a ridge and then head southeast towards the Lava Tower – a 300 ft tall volcanic rock formation. We descend down to Barranco Camp through the strange but beautiful Senecio Forest to an altitude of 13,000 ft. Although you begin and end the day at the same elevation, the time spent at higher altitude is extremely beneficial for acclimatization.

We begin the day by descending into a ravine to the base of the Great Barranco Wall. We will then climb the non-technical but steep, nearly 900ft, cliff. The Barranco Wall, also known as the Kissing Wall, is approximately 3 ft. wide. This narrow section is famous because climbers often place a kiss on the rock as they pass by. Climbers also “hug” the outcrop and breathe a sigh of relief on the other side as they realize it wasn’t nearly as intimidating as it looked.

From the top of the Barranco Wall, we cross a series of hills and valleys until we descend sharply into Karanga Valley. One more steep climb up leads us to Karanga Camp. This shorter day will prepare us for higher elevation at the summit.

We leave Karanga and hit the junction which connects with the Mweka Trail. We continue up the rocky section to Barafu Hut. At this point, you have completed the Southern Circuit, which offers views of the summit from many different angles. Here we make camp, rest, and enjoy an early dinner to prepare for the summit day. The two peaks of Mawenzi and Kibo are visible from this position.

Very early in the morning (around midnight), we begin our push to the summit. This is the most mentally and physically challenging part of the trek. At this elevation and time of day, the wind and cold can be extreme. We ascend in the darkness for several hours while taking frequent but short breaks. Near Stella Point (18,900ft), you will be rewarded with the most magnificent sunrise you are ever likely to see coming over Mawenzi Peak.

Finally, we arrive at Uhuru Peak— the highest point on Mount Kilimanjaro and the continent of Africa. Here, you can take a moment to reflect on your tremendous accomplishment. You’ll obviously have the opportunity to take a few pictures from the ‘Rooftop of Africa’ to memorialize this special moment.

From the summit, we now make our descent continuing straight down to the Mweka Hut campsite, stopping at Barafu for lunch. The trail is very rocky and can be quite hard on the knees; trekking poles are helpful. Mweka Camp is situated in the upper forest and mist or rain can be expected in the late afternoon. Later in the evening, we will enjoy our last dinner on the mountain and a well-earned sleep.

On our last day, we continue the descent to Mweka Gate where we will be met by our driver who will transport us back to the hotel in Moshi/Arusha for shower. Here, we can relax with some refreshments, perhaps a local Kilimanjaro beer, while we wait to receive our summit certificates. At lower elevations, it can be wet and muddy. From the gate, we continue another hour to Mweka Village.

A vehicle will meet us at Mweka Village to drive us back to the hotel for a long overdue hot shower.
