Eight participants undertake this physical and mental ordeal towards the top of the highest mountain in Africa and one of the seven summits. But they are not alone: they are guided by Sofie Lenaerts - herself an experienced mountain climber and the first woman from the Benelux to climb the seven summits - and wildlife cameraman Pim Niesten. Sofie, as an expert by experience, prepares the eight as best as possible for everything involved in mountain climbing, while Pim, as a nature photographer and expert, prepares the participants for the special arena of the mountains and any risks this entails.
