- When you watch vlogs about climbing mount Kilimanjaro, bear in mind that the real heroes of this climb are the porters and the guides. I will give you a glimpse into the life of one porter and one guide on the mountain. What are their stories? Why do they do such an exhausting job? What are their dreams?
LET'S ACCOMPLISH THEIR DREAMS TOGETHER AND HELP THE PORTERS ON MT.KILI

Demanding work. Bright attitudes. Can't imagine making a living this way. Being underpaid is an understatement. Thank you for allowing us behind the scenes
🙏🏻🙏🏻
Are they underpaid? I expect for most Tanzanians $10 a day is a good wage, especially in a remote area.
Really enjoy your videos
@@ElifromRussia A much better life than the civilian victims in Ukraine of rape and murder by Russian "soldiers"
@@ElifromRussia do you have discord
Eli, its not a phrase but I experienced that even those who have less are much more kind and would share their life and belongings rather those who have nearly everything and still trying to get more and more, but will never achieve the main goal of life to be satisfied and being gratefull of what you have.
Life is so unfair. $10 per day for carrying all the luggage and preparing meals. My gosh! Thanks Eli for this video and thank you for donating the proceeds of this video to these porters. God bless you Eli!
Hi Eli, you are the definition of kindness. I have been watching your videos for over two years now, so I think I kinda have an idea of who you are??! Anyways, I'm originally from Africa... and you are always and always welcome to Africa. God bless you, Eli!! We love seeing kind people like you!
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Hey all, I want to share a few experiences I've had.
@@ElifromRussia I'm from india. Do you have any facebook account? If so, why what name?
I always thought AFRICA was a continent🤦♂️. BTw, I'm from Tangier, North Morocco, and I wish to visit your country africa one day. 😂😂😂
@@mr.riffian9507 africa is a continent 😅
I can well imagine the porters were so grateful that you showed how vital they are but so underpayed. They are the most important people for the success of the hike to the summit but the most underpayed compared to how much each tourist pays. A video to make many of us grateful for what we have, thank you Eli. Gail, Czech Republic ❤️
Dear Eli, thank you so much for this heartworming vlog. You are a real humanitarian! Love to you and so much blessings and I wish you more power to continue your very much appreciated work. Greetings from Bremen in the North of Germany❤️
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
A humanitarian who loves Putin, thinks the war is a good thing for Russia to do and hates gay people
Beautiful, to put these people in the spotlight.
You pretty much already did in the 1st Kilimanjaro video. This one is all about them.
It may look like a vacation in a 30 min. video, but it takes a week to go up there.
They're taking care of you in such a sweet way.
Beautiful. And here's a little something from me to them.
🙏
Great vlog Eli ,having lived in Central Africa for 15 years ,i seen the struggles and hardship these people live in but they are always kind , happy and always smiling ,thanks Eli for another great vlog
Yes they are 🙏🏻🙏🏻
😘
Thank you for making this video! I lived in Tanzania and was always amazed by the people's kindness. I was appalled when I heard my ex-pat friends not give good tips to their Safari drivers and guides. In fact, they live off tips, as their salaries are not much at all. We gave our driver over 100 dollars back in 2002. Others gave 10 dollars for 5 days of driving and taking care of them.
Ugali is basically cornmeal porridge.
My love of Tanzania and the Tanzanian people makes my heart ache to go back there and I hope one day I will be back in the country that gave me so much love. Truly a wonderful country and wonderful people.
Welcome back to Tanzania
butifull video ❤️❤️
Ur welcome
What I will say is that you can't compare Western salaries with poorer countries.
I was in Africa and in the beginning I was handing out tips all over.
However after a while I saw that this was destabilizing and created a lot of jealousy in their communities.
Ask any foreigner living there long-term. They are the best people to give advice. Tourists are definitely not
@@787maggie I was the "people" living there long-term.
Eli, you are an amazing story teller!! What a great video!!!!
Thank you so much!
Eli, I don't know what I else I can say about you except that you are some kind of wonderful person. This vlog about the porters of your Kilimanjaro climb is so selfless and touching that it shows you to be one in a million. The world could do with a few more like you.
Michael is so, so sweet -- makes me want to cry. And Alex is amazing too. Thank you for spotlighting these hard-working, important people!
I climbed Kili in Feb 22. Thank you for this! My favorite porter quote: “why not?!” From the male porter talking about his female Co-worker. Perfect and so ahead of others! I met an All-female climbing crew and their female lead guide: they planned to summit on Intl Women’s Day! ❤
Thanks!
🙏💝😘
Awesome video! Thank you!
Eli you're a wonderful person but that such a wonderful thing that you're doing and that man has a heart of gold
Well edited and a pleasant surprise behind the scene video.
You are quick to pick up others languages and interact not just using English.
Compassion is part of your wonderful Soul Eli
So compassionate she loves Putin, thinks the war is a good thing for Russia to do and hates gay people and makes excuses for the rape and murder of civilians in Ukraine
Nice video of Mt. Kilimanjaro, the tour guides and cuisine.
Bless all these hard working men, beautiful video
🙏🏻🙏🏻
You are awesome Eli. Love from Indonesia and all the best for the porters of kilimanjaro
❤❤
Ur appreciation family 🙏
wow amazing the way you treat them incredible and full of heart
Thank you for sharing this side of climbing. Such an incredibly difficult job. What incredibly strong spirits the porters have.
Elina💕!
Spread the love...
Some things can never be denied
She spreads Putin liar propaganda
Elina, your ability to listen to and recognize people uplifts everyone. It's a beautiful gift you share. I want to protect you like this young man so eloquently expressed. I believe he spoke for so Many. ⚘ He couldn't have said more clearly what everyone is feeling/thinking 20:12
I am always praying for you Elina. You are an Angel on earth. Please be safe💕
Wow thank you for showing the true story of how tourist are able to make it to the top of Kilimanjaro. I truly have not seen any other video that give due credit to the porters and was surprised to see how everything is provided and prepared by the porters, and how comfortable and catered to the tourists are. really an eye opening video.
Very Good initiative. You have a very beautiful heart and mind. May Allah paak bless you and your all dreams come true
we thank God very much for you... may he empower and help you because you have seen something very big among us porters
Asante Sana all hard-working Tanzanians and Eli for this video.

After these life stories, I will laugh at my "problems"...
I wish that every of this porter become a guide 💪💪💪

Porters are the unsung heroes of mountaineering. Kudos to them all!

Hi Eli, I am from Nepal, I have been watching all your videos, they are all very good and welcome to our Nepal! In this beautiful and peaceful country where the world's largest Mount Everest, the place where Buddha was born and many other castes, religions, cultural and religious heritages are there! We warmly welcome all people who want to visit our country Nepal!
Thanks
Thank you! Porters will appreciate it!!!
Thank you...
Loved this video! Incredible to see how these guys put in 100% into what they do, despite having an abundance of difficulties and hardships back home and in their personal lives. Awesome to see how much care, and love they put into making sure everyone has a safe and unforgetable experience.
Once again a great video, thank You Eli!

Helping these guides is very positive. International Friendship and Brotherhood is very important.
It's so cool you are amazing kiddo
I enjoy your work, and thank you for opening yourself and revealing the struggles we all need to overcome. I love this piece.
I ❤ your posts -- you kind and beautiful girl!!
Thank you so much!!
Wow! Thank you for this video! I can't believe they are paid 10$ a day, this is crazy!🤯
🥲🥲
You´re so sincerely human and humble with these great guys. Thank you again for this great video.
I’ve shared this video to all my friends. The whole world need to know that a woman from Russia is showing the beauty of Africa. As a caucasian man from New York, I started watching your channel because you showed the real Russia and not what the media is showing us. To see Africa from a different angle is really beautiful. Thank you
Well done Eli..you have a big heart for sure.x
Very enlighting content.
🥰 It's really a wow for Eli and the Porters with this video. In my personal opinion, the quality of this film is almost reaching a documentary level like Discovery's work or those of some big organisation's. Thanks for showing us such another beautiful culture and living style through your journey. Many people from different places and cultures are really making efforts to enhance their spirit and vision. Best blessings to everyone who seizes the moment in their life ❤
you're fast Lena that's why you may speaking many languages
you make me happy when you was count in swahili without any incorrect

Eli thank you for your gentle and patient interview.
I loved this Video, Eli! Your skills, hard work an appreciation of life and others, grow more, each day. 💚🌿
This is the most beautiful adventure 👍
You are a great role model for young women Eli. In a superficial and cheap world, especially on social lmedia, you demonstrate how true beauty emanates from within. I can't express how much I appreciate that.
This video is another excellent example of your intelligence and artistic talents. And what you have done for these hardworking and underappreciated people, I'm sure they will never forget. 💯. Somehow I never tire of praising you.
Absolutely breathtaking videos, which are in fact documentaries...Thank You very much Eli for Your work, feelings and gentle view of woman with russian soul...this was missing in my heart this hard times...
Thank you so much for capturing the Kilimanjaro employee experience.
Bravo to you, Eli, for this beautiful and moving video.
Well...
You are such a kind
and beautiful person.
I thoroughly enjoy watching
these views of the world
and the warmth from the people you interview
through your eyes
and your thoughtful commentary.
Wishing Peace and Joy
in the new year.😊
Thank you for giving us an opportunity for watching this video. I was amazed their hardship and financial struggles.
Amazing people working hard lovely experience.....
What wonderful people they are, the porters and the guides
My gosh, that was amazing👍
I put off watching for lack of time for a long video, but what a lovely one this is. Thank you for your kindness and for sharing your adventure. You have done very well once again at bringing a place and its people to life for us - a little window into a world not everyone gets to know.
Im looking forward to a trip in 2024. Thanks for the inspiration
Such a great story. Thank you! ❤
ELI, CONGRATULATIONS ON REACHING 400K SUBS!! 🍾🎉💕👏
Blessed One Always Express Herself The Best. Documenting The Other Side Of The Life Of Mountaineer.
ELI you're too much, what an amazing person you're ELI.. Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us, I watch the whole video smiling.. We love you ELI.. Remain blessed and sound, MARRY CHRISTMAS..
Hi Eli, thanks for the Beautiful place, beautiful People and all those beautiful dreams... May God make all their dreams come true... Thank you for this
One of your best videos , you are a true humanitian and one of best vloggers out there.
Very generous ..pure heart.
ThankYOU SO VERY MUCH FOR MAKING ME Think, Laugh and Cry❣ This was probably the most beautiful thing I'll ever see on youtube. ThankYOU FOR SHINING SO BRIGHT in dark uncertain world. 🌞 Wishing You Well and Successful. 🤟
Eli,hats off to you,for your mankind.such a nice person you are
Good job Elina, i began to follow your channel when you had 150000 followers and now, more than double; and at these ccircumstances...the best for you is coming.
Splendid and awesome , good luck to your mission ❤❤❤❤
Since they mentioned Swahili, I sang Baba Yetu when I was in high school, in choir. It’s so beautiful, I cry when I hear it. A beautiful language.
To add: earning $500 to go to college in America…it’s closer to $30,000 a year for anywhere here. Maybe at the least $10,000. I don’t know how anyone could go for less when they are from another country.
Eli, if the world were run by people like you, what a wonderful world it would be!
Hello Eli, Thank You for wonderful work You doing. We Love You, také care, be yourself, listen to your heart And soul 🧸❤️😇🙏🏻🍀
That is not fair, they need to be tipped way more. They are amazing people. I really hope people can donate to them. Even just $5 to them, it’s a coffee to us-it’s 1/2 a day’s pay for them ❤
I love this... very well done and enjoyable... thank you beautiful Eli
My hat goes off to you for all that work, you got my vote!
You are an excellent blogger! As a nearly 80 year old that doesn’t travel much anymore really enjoy your videos. I was in Moscow about 15 years ago and recall having to wait for Putin’s motorcade while in traffic. My daughter-in-law is Russian.
P.S> (I did a not very flattering song about Putin a few months ago under my original playlist.)
aweseome video Eli! keep up the amazing work!
This is such a heart felt video.
What an interesting video! Thank you for showing the daily lives of the porters and guides.

👹grrrrrrrrr😹

Just like the old days...some do the work for the enjoyment of the few.
I really enjoy your videos, I think you have a great gift of story telling.
