Action Challenge Reviews 

Excellent organisation from start to finish
Team leader and medic were professional and friendly and looked after everyone
Kenyan based group were excellent and very knowledgeable
The safari was awesome and saw so many different animals and birds
Trip exceeded expectations in so many ways
I highly recommend this challenge

Climbing Kilimanjaro - Leshomo Route with Action Challenge was the best thing I've ever done! The whole trip was extremely well organised with very knowledgeable but fun mountain leaders and the porter team that they use in Tanzania (Big Expeditions) were the most friendly, hardworking and kind people I've ever met!
The food, equipment and organisation throughout the trip was excellent! Couldn't recommend Action Challenge more - will definitely be looking into future trips with them!

Action Challenge is the best company operating in the field of adventure holidays. I've had hiking experiences with Intrepid, Gadventures and Adventure Peaks, but none of these companies meet the level of professionalism that Action Challenge contistently provides. A U.K. Leader and a U.K. Medic ensures that you will have the best posible hiking experience. Highly recommended.

A great trip, well organised and well managed in the field. Ride leader Jason was great and the guides I. Kenya, Glen and his team were excellent.
Thoroughly recommend the trip cycling in Kenya.

One plus point is having an English speaking medic/guide with you the entire time. Amazing challenge and the views were stunning. Challenges you without being too extreme. Would definitely recommend to everyone

A highly professional operation in both planning and execution that retained person to person communications throughout.
This was a new event in the calendar of Action Challenge and one in which I was keen to take part as I had often heard that the Gower is a beautiful area of South Wales. I was not disappointed.
The weather in July can be very changeable, and so it proved to be hence I was relieved to have chosen to do the 50 km x 1000 m hike rather than attempt a 100 km continuous or semi-continuous version. We started in the third wave at 08:30 hrs and at 16 Deg with humidity rising. By early afternoon the temperature had risen to 24 Deg and for a few hours along the coast we were totally exposed to the sun.
At this point the free issue neck scarf came in really useful to protect against sunburn and, when wet, as a coolant. Eventually the threatening storm clouds appeared and within 15 mins of completion we were faced with a thunderstorm whilst retrieving our car from a very wet grass field.
It had taken 6 months of progressive training to get myself fit; at 78 yrs I am a regular hill walker and have completed the highest peaks offered by the six nations constituting the British Isles, but it was well worth the extra effort in training guided by the professionals at Action Challenge.
The 'Challenge' was to complete in 12 hrs of activity and I achieved it in 11 hrs 20 mins with the support of a daughter on the day and the many people who opted to support my charity, Prostate Cancer UK.

This is a never to be forgotten lifetime adventure. This is my second time around walking Kilimanjaro. Is was no less challenging, exhilerating and no less sense of acheivement. Witness and marvel at the super human efforts of the support team in providing you home comforts as best they can on a mountain side..and they do. The AC team of leader and medic provide first class team and individual care and attention. Nightly briefings are detailed and even after the toughest day are inspirational. Summiting at sunrise is a sight to behold worth every tear, blister, sickness and aching muscle. AC are totally there for you every step of your journey from initial enquiry, mountain side, extensions to arriving home, they assisted witrh our bespoke week of relation post our challenge, a first class organization with a "Hakuna Matata" attitude. If Kili is on your bucket list..go do it with AC

Climbing Kilimanjaro was a voyage of discovery for me, in terms of physical endurance and mental strength, but boy was it worth it. The experience itself is one of those that you'll never forget. Action Challenge and the local team made the whole trek feel more comfortable than I thought possible, covering every detail and being on hand to respond to any of our group's needs. Joe and Matt made a fantastic team as guide and medic respectively, and were on hand to provide any support necessary and help to group gel and navigate the challenges the climb and the elements. The food was surprisingly good and the camp team were amazing in settling up camp for us every day. The office team arranged everything we needed and helped with visas etc. I would thoroughly recommend Action Challenge and this particular event.

Everest Base Camp- wow, what an experience.
From paying my deposit until arriving back from the trip, Action Challenge sorted everything. They responded to questions, they organised all my travel and accomodation.
All staff in the office and on the trip were friendly and helpful.
I would highly recommend using this company for any of your adventures. This is my third challenge with them and I will hopefully booking another soon.

Have done a few UK ultra challenges with Action Challenge, all brilliantly organised. I’m a solo walker. Decided this year to sign up for my first overseas challenge (Jordan) which was early this month. Would definitely recommend this event and don’t doubt the other overseas challenges are equally well organised. Would definitely encourage anyone considering signing up to do an AC challenge, to take the plunge (health permitting). You won’t regret it, even if it hurts.
From the meet and greet at Luton airport until our return, the organisation and support was professional, supportive and friendly. UK crew (included 3 medics) couldn’t have done more for the challengers. Aside from ensuring we were all safe, well and comfortable, they gave freely of their friendship, time and knowledge to ensure we had the best possible experience.
The local Jordan support, from airport rep, drivers to base camp crew was incredible. The latter kept the camp clean, made sure we were well fed and entertained us. Not sure how they managed to prepare food to such a high standard in the desert, but they did.
The heat and the soft sand made this a challenging challenge but being in the vastness and beauty of the Wadi Rum took some of the edge off.
My fellow challengers were a pleasure to be around. I always felt someone was looking out for me.
To top off an amazing event [for me] has to be a trip to Petra. I have no adjective(s) that do it justice.

Fantastic Kili trip this October. Everything lived up to what I'd hoped, and all the organisation was spot on. Wouldn't hesitate to use AC again. The actual challenge was really tough but felt fully supported by the local crew, the fantastic medic and group leader and a lovely group of fellow hikers!

Just go for it. Put one foot in front of the other and keep going. If I can do the Sahara Challenge anyone can! And the Action Challenge team will be with you every steep of the way, you won’t find a more helpful and friendly team, and very reasonable prices too.

Great experience with Action Challange! My first abroad challange with them. Great organisation, best camp ever, nice staff and very good food. Despite remote location all very hygienic, clean and up to standard. Challange itself definitely worth trying but get some training first!! No bad word to say, all positive!!

Action Challenge is a very efficient organisation in planning events. Every detail is covered. My recent trek to Kilimanjaro was incredible albeit the toughest thing I have ever done. We had our own amazing leader Collette who along with the Doctor met us at LHR and we had local porter's and guides leading the way up to the summit of the tallest mountain in Africa! It was an unforgettable trip of a lifetime.

I went with Action Challenge to climb Kilimanjaro and it was indeed the experience of a lifetime. I cannot praise the whole team enough from the leader Joe to the local guides, porters and chefs who not only carried our gear, offered a helping hand on tricky bits but also kept us motivated and entertained with their chatter and singing. Our daily briefings were informative and helpful, letting us know exactly what to expect and how best to achieve it. The food was also great! I have done several of their Ultra challenges in the UK and chose them for Kilimanjaro as I trusted their high standards. I was definitely not disappointed and cannot recommend them enough. I will be booking with them again.
Thanks everyone for the invaluable support and a brilliant experience.

I went with Action Challenge to Tanzania & took on Kilimanjaro (Feb 24) & I can’t praise these guys enough. They’re super organised & I can’t fault the service I received. The leader of my trip ‘Joe’ was absolutely brilliant, preparing us every step of the way. Along with our Medic, who was always there to look after us, no matter how small the problem. The local team they use are also 1st class & they worked unbelievably hard, shifting all our stuff from camp to camp everyday & providing everything we needed in camp (including superb food). I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Action Challenge to anyone planning to take on Kilimanjaro🗻 & I’ll definitely be considering using them again for any future adventures. Thanks Guys, for a brilliant experience from start to finish.

Having taken part in Action Challenge events in the UK, when my friend and I decided to take on Kilimanjaro, they were the obvious choice. Total support before, including zoom calls, informative App, help with VISA and always at the end of an email. Total support at the airport, connecting flights and transfers. After a final kit check and briefing, we were off, supported by Action Challenge leader Joe Johnstone, 2 doctors and 110 staff. Good quality tents and comfy camping mattress and 5 chemical toilet tents. Excellent food including fresh fruit was served in the mess tent breakfast, lunch and dinner, with safe prepared drinking water in abundance with snacks for our backpacks. Regular briefings throughout the course of the day. To me it's all about being safe and at no time did I feel in danger. A truly most unforgettable experience for that I can't thank Action Challenge enough.

Amazing challenges and amazing team looking after you every step of the way

The events are well organised and signposted. Organisers are friendly and approachable. These are brilliant, we have done 3 so far and hope to enjoy many more. Definitely recommend these as good, doable challenges.

This was the 1st time I did a challenge like this and I was very impressed with how well organized it was and well signed it was along the route . The staff were helpful and the food /snacks were great .
