It’s the climb

The Secret Women’s Series have a goal – to summit the highest free-standing mountain on Earth. The 14-day, all-women’s adventure of Mt. Kilimanjaro, one of the world’s ‘Seven Summits’, kicks off in August 2020.

While the adventure is sure to be challenging, and for some perhaps the biggest physical challenge they’ve faced, the sense of achievement in hiking almost six kilometres above sea level (5895-metres), is sure to be inspiring.

“When women travel together, there’s a special kind of support and camaraderie – it’s less competition and more teamwork,” says Sarah Hoyland, co-owner of The Classic Safari Company, explaining why she launched The Secret Women’s Series of small-group, escorted journeys for women, designed by women. “Having that mutual support and female companionship is a fun way to travel – but it also increases the chances of success when it comes to a serious challenge like climbing Kili.”

The group – which is limited to 14 – will be accompanied by a team of highly-experienced Tanzanian porters, guides and trek leaders.
