Welcome to Adventure With Purpose
Are you someone that values making a positive impact, adventure, challenge and personal growth?
Hi, I’m Moe and 3 years ago, I went on a mission trip where I helped build schools for youth leadership development in Kenya’s underserved communities & I hiked Mt Kilimanjaro in Tanzania (Africa) as a symbol of inspiration to the youth that we all have the potential to conquer the mountains & help others conquer their own mountains in the process.
This mission trip literally changed my life and it was in that moment when I reached the top of Africa that it became a dream of mine to someday organize an adventure with purpose. Not only do I want to take people over there to hike Kilimanjaro but I also wanted to combine it with a purposeful mission where we make a positive impact on a lot of people’s lives in the process.
And Now, I’m making that dream a reality for myself and 10 other daring hikers December of this year. I have partnered with a local non-profit in Kenya, The Slumcode Group, and a portion of the proceeds will go to continue building schools to empower the youths in those communities so they become part of the solution to drive social and economic change in Africa.
Our main motivation for this isn’t to profit. I am doing it because of my experience and I know that other people need to experience this and if I can facilitate this and find 10 people who are on board for this type of adventure and value this, then that’s only going to make this experience that I had even better because now I’m giving back and sharing it with others.
The main inspiration is to help change as many lives as possible and make a positive impact while creating a beautiful legacy and memories for all involved. Just imagine the amazing memories, storiesyou will carry with you for the rest of your life
This is your own March to Greatness. This is how you will conquer mountains and help others, in need, to climb and conquer the mountains in their lives as well.
Here’s a Summary of What You Get…
- Hike the tallest mountain in Africa, Mt. Kilimanjaro. One of the 7 Summits in the world, and a bucket list, once in a life-time experience
- Customized training program, developed by professionals that have already succeeded through this process, to ensure your success in reaching the summit
- Explore African Culture
- 2 x Group Mastermind Calls with your Fellow Adventurers
- 4 x 1:1 Success Coaching Calls
- Create Memories that matter, Stories that will live on in your family’s legacy
- Make an Impact on children’s lives in Kenya. We’ve partnered with the SlumCode Group, a non-profit, and 10% of your fee will be donated to build schools for youth leadership development
- 1- Day Safari to Ngorongoro Crater, one of the 7 natural wonders of Africa where mankind began based on science, with high chances of spotting Lions, Leopards, Buffalos, Elephants, and Rhinos.

December 8, 2021 | Day 1 | Arrive at Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO). Private transport to Kilimanjaro Wonders Hotel. Briefing in the evening. |
December 9, 2021 | Day 2 | Pick up from Hotel at 6 am to start safari tour to Ngorongoro Crater for a whole day Safari then drop off at the end of the day back at Hotel. |
December 10, 2021 | Day 3 | Pick up from hotel to start the 7 day Kilimanjaro Trek. Machame Gate to Machame Camp The drive from Moshi to the Machame Gate takes about 50 minutes. The journey passes through the village of Machame which is located on the lower slopes of the mountain. As we leave the park gate, we walk through the dense rain forest on a winding trail up a ridge until we reach the Machame Camp. |
December 11, 2021 | Day 4 | Machame Camp to Shira 2 Camp We leave the glades of the rain forest and continue on an ascending path up to a steep, rocky ridge. On the Shira Plateau, we pass through heather and open moorlands, then cross a large river gorge to Shira 2 Camp. |
December 12, 2021 | Day 5 | Shira 2 Camp to Lava Tower Lava Tower to Barranco Camp We continue to the east 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 very beneficial for acclimatization. |
December 13, 2021 | Day 6 | Barranco Camp to Karanga Camp We begin the day by descending into a ravine to the base of the Great Barranco Wall. Then we climb the non-technical but steep, nearly 900 ft cliff. 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 is a shorter day meant for acclimatization. |
December 14, 2021 | Day 7 | Karanga Camp to Barafu Camp We leave Karanga and hit the junction which connects with the Mweka Trail. We continue up to 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 viewable from this position. |
December 15, 2021 | Day 8 | Barafu Camp to Uhuru Peak Uhuru Peak to Mweka Camp Very early in the morning (around midnight), we begin our push to the summit. This is the most mentally and physically challenging portion of the trek. The wind and cold at this elevation and time of day can be extreme. We ascend in the darkness for several hours while taking frequent, but short, breaks. Near Stella Point (18,900 ft), 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. From the summit, we now make our descent continuing straight down to the Mweka Hut camp site, 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 enjoy our last dinner on the mountain and a well-earned sleep. |
December 16, 2021 | Day 9 | Mweka Camp to Mweka Gate On our last day, we continue the descent to Mweka Gate and collect the 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 in Moshi. |
December 17, 2021 | Day 10 | Transport from Moshi to Kilimanjaro International Airport for departure. |
