Meet the 2011 Kili Leap Of Faith Team

Lori's Leap Of Faith Adventure
Have MS? Join us for 14 adventure filled days in the wilds of Africa. Our adventure begins with a climb of Mt. Kilimanjaro, the highest point in Africa. Crowned by eternal snows, the mighty Kilimanjaro (19,340ft) is the highest free-standing mountain in the world and dominates its landscape unlike any other mountain. Located in Tanzania, this extinct volcano looms over five eco-systems and large game reserves and is certainly one of the world's most impressive sights. The terrain is nothing short of dramatic. Climb with me! Following our climb of Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, we begin a four-day safari to the spectacular game parks of Tanzania. Throughout the safari, we lodge in luxurious hotels and travel by Land Cruiser across the Great Rift Valley, travel into the Ngorongoro Crate, visit the Tarangire River National Park and Serengeti National Park, following wildebeests, lions, and other indigenous wildlife. We end our life changing journey with a spectacular hot air balloon ride, and witness the breathtaking sunrise over the Serengeti plains. Join us along with the expert guides at Alpine Ascents International, and Empower Yourself Through Adventure!
