Choose a Challenge

Adventure with purpose

This year, SUBU are proud to present three exciting challenge opportunities with Choose a Challenge! Each opportunity fundraises for a charity chosen by our student volunteers.

Morocco 

In the far Northwest corner of Africa, perched between the Atlantic Ocean and the
Sahara desert, lies Morocco. A place characterised by the smell of incense, narrow
labyrinths of ancient souks and rolling golden dunes - nowhere catches the spirit of
Northern Africa quite like Morocco. The journey to the High Atlas Mountains gives
you the chance to explore the rocky gorges and high altitude settlements that have populated the area for centuries.

Challenge Difficulty: 3/5 (Moderate)

Duration: 8 Days

Standard cost*:

  • £490 registration fee
  • £1940 base fundraising target inclusive of flights*

Three Peaks

Kilimanjaro

For many people, standing on the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro is a lifelong
ambition. The world’s highest freestanding peak, Kilimanjaro rises alone from
the surrounding savannah. Situated in Tanzania, this challenge is an amazing
opportunity to not only climb Kilimanjaro, but also to explore East Africa and
learn about the rich culture and varied landscapes of the region.

Challenge Difficulty: 4/5 (Upper Moderate)

Duration: 9 Days

Standard cost*:

  • £490 Registration fee
  • £4,970 standard fundraising target*
