The 35th IGC together with AngloGold Ashanti, the Geological Society of South Africa and Adventure Dynamics International, present the geological excursion for the adventure seeker!

The trip starts by descending to the deepest point on the African continent: the Mponeng Gold Mine (-4200m) in the heart of the Witwatersrand Basin gold deposit, then transfer to Moshi, Tanzania where we ascend, via the highly successful Rongai route, to the very highest point of the African continent: Kilimanjaro (5895m) at the edge of the African Rift Valley. By completing this “greater than Everest ascent” you will become part of a very select group having been to the highest and lowest points on the African continent: each a geological superlative in their own right.

The group will raise awareness of the importance of geology as a natural heritage on the continent. We will record a special summit message to be used during the opening ceremony of the 35th IGC. Each participant will receive a special edition plaque and branded sweatshirt in recognition of this unique adventure and double geological summit!
