BBC

In July 2011 we successfully facilitated a filmed Kilimanjaro climb for the BBC.

We were tasked with orchestrating the climb, including special logistics for the film crew and the lead character. The climb is part of a feature documentary to be shown in the U.K and the U.S, and charts the plight of living with albinism in Tanzania. We are not at liberty to disclose many details from the film, but we can say that we achieved a 100% summit success rate, and put the first African with albinism on the summit. We also helped the crew to capture some incredible footage. The team followed our 8 day Lemosho itinerary.

In September 2011 we arranged a Kilimanjaro climb for Wave 105 Cash for Kids.

RJ7 MD and Cash for Kids Patron Rhys Jones led the trip, and was joined by 11 fundraisers from the South coast. The team experienced perfect weather and reached the summit after following our 8 day Lemosho itinerary.Cash for Kids supports young people who are socially, emotionally, physically or financially disadvantaged. In 2012, we are organising the Wave 105 Cash for Kids Inca Trail Trek.
