Welcome to Accenture's Kilimanjaro trek in aid of VSO's work in East Africa.

This trip is open to every Accenture employee, regardless of geography, level and workforce.

Take part and you will trek through five different eco-systems, sleep under a star-studded sky and watch the sun rise over the African plains from the highest free-standing mountain in the world.

This experience is enhanced by the opportunity to visit a VSO project and witness first hand the incredible things your support can achieve.

With a total of seven days trekking and an epic 'Summit Night' this is not a challenge for the fainthearted, but it is an achievable and enjoyable one. Here are some of the reasons why:

• Anyone willing to train can participate: you don't need any prior experience as it is a non-technical trek
• The treks operate on a sliding scale basis so that the more money you raise, the lower your individual costs are (you could go for as little as the cost of your flights!)
• You can easily extend your trip out there and spend more time in the area to explore independently.
