Kilimanjaro (19, 340 feet), then off on safari and climb up Ol Doinyo Lengai at Lake Natron (10,000 feet), and finished off with a trip to Mt. Kenya. Participants have the choice of doing a non-technical climb to Point Lenana (16, 355 feet) or a longer technical climb to the very summit (17,060 feet).
