You can see an excellent video posted by a previous climber, Julia Rhodes here. Julia gives you a look at both Water School projects in Nairobi, Kenya (the starting point for the adventure) as well as the climb up the mountain itself. 

Overall, climb team members spend two days in Nairobi before heading to Tanzania for the six days it takes for the climb and descent from the mountain. An optional 3-day/2-night safari at the Masai Mara Game Reserve can be organized for climbers at an additional cost. For more information on that, visit Eco Adventures, the official tour company of Water School.  

Each climber will have a page on the Water Climb 2012 site where sponsors can support their efforts by helping them meet their individual $5,895 fundraising goals - $1 for each meter that Kilimanjaro rises into the sky. 

The cost for each climber to participate is an estimated $2,950 (based on 2011 prices - the exact total cost will be confirmed closer to the climb dates). The fee does not include the cost of airfare from wherever you live to Nairobi, but does include all of the following:
