I’m 72 years old. Thank you for taking me to Kilimanjaro on my treadmill. Ioved the video but most of all your respect for nature and the porters. You are a good person. You inspired me!!!
Im 38 and doing the same
I was born in Kilimanjaro region that allowed me to see Kilimanjaro mountain every morning. Thanks for visiting Tanzania and climb this unforgettable mountain. I wish you could visit more Tanzania attractions. 🙏🙏🇹🇿🇹🇿🇹🇿🇹🇿🇹🇿
LANDWAY GLAD your welcome to travel around beautiful destination and sceneries
I climbed it in 2010 I noticed some porters were wearing trainers with the toes cut off and had very little cold weather gear. But they were amazing men. At the end they did a song and dance for us. It reduced me to tears. I gave them all my climbing clothing and boots. It was so life changing and a beautiful place. Great vid brought back some memories.
I am from Kilimanjaro and I am so happy to see you guys climbing mount Kilimanjaro.I love when you tried speaking some swahili.I loooove my country,I love my region Kilimanjaro and I mostly love my people.
Karibu tena.
I’ve been obsessed with watching these videos of Mount Kilimanjaro and think I’ve watched them all, this one is by far the best one out there. He goes into detail about the place, culture ...he respects the land and the people there...he respects and appreciates the work the porters do ...and u can just tell he appreciates being there 👌👌🙌🙌🙌 love from Scotland 🏴🏴🏴
Thank you for this lovely comment!! It is appreciated :)
Am Tanzanian and I have climbed Kilimanjaro three times but I have summited only twice. It was an exceptional experience. I hope to take my children up there one
day as my father went with me my first time. You guys vagabrothers did a wonderful job with this video. Congratulations and Karibu tena TANZANIA.
I live in Tanzania, and I just want to say thank you for respecting TZ culture and sharing the love
I loved making this!!! Take me back :)
Hahah Yes!
I love watching it 😜
Awesome! Greetings from Hans aka the Swedish Rock 👍from the climbing team
Loved it!
Awesome video! Extremely inspiring to get out there.
Congratulations I just climbed it 2 weeks ago and am super proud of myself
I love Kilimanjaro
Hope you took a shot pick videos of your experience
Congrats! How was it?
@r laze I don’t know of many deaths on the mountain, but I could be wrong. I think the low summit rate is just that people run out of supplies on the way up, or just get exhausted of the climbing.
Love this video! I climbed Kili on the Macheme route back in November of 2015. A couple things I'd like to add to your tips:
-Kili can be climbed in the rainy season. Yes, it's wet but if you love the rain you'll be right at home. The rain invigorates you. You're not hot or sweaty. Best of all there's no crowds in the rainy season. You'll literally have the whole mountain to yourself!
-Book with a company that belongs to the Kilimanjaro Porters Association. This way you'll know the porters are well paid and well treated.
-Bring a treat along for the hike. Something you're into and will enjoy. The two other trekkers with me brought hot chocolate and energy bars. I brought hot sauce with me. Being up in high altitude makes eating difficult. The hot sauce ensured I ate well and kept my calorie intake up.
-Kili gets cold at night. Bring a water bottle and ask the camp cook to fill it with hot water. I kept the water bottle under my sleeping bag like a teddy bear. It helped keep me warm at night.
-Walking poles make a huge difference!
Great tips thank you
@@upendasana7857 wow…such great tips…thanks! What route do you recommend taking?
Oh I miss home now! This is one of the best videos I have seen so far. Thanks for showing our natural wonder to the rest of the world. From Tanzania to the World. Asante sana, kaka! Kila la kheri na karibu tena Tanzania 🇹🇿
I agree, it's also shameful that africans haven't changed the lake's name yet
I LOVE MY COUNTRY TANZANIA♥️♥️🇹🇿🇹🇿🇹🇿💪💪
The way you explain in detail is awesome sir. We gain alot of knowledge thank you for uploading the video.
Good wishes from INDIA.
CHEERS:)
Thank you Hara!!! I appreciate that!
Kilimanjaro has been on my bucket list for years and years. I really must stop thinking about it and do it. Thanks for a great video. I can't wait for the rest.
Hi buddy You should climb this highest free standing Mount Kilimanjaro before your "bucket list” get any older.

Facts
I love you Alex! ...i mean all those words you said of guides and potters have touched my soul! i just hopr other climbers would do the same regarding guides and potters! God bless you @Alex!!
I did this climb back in 2006. Brings back a lot happy memories. Very challenging, but so rewarding.
Hey Alex, thank you for this amazing video. I can't wait to see Part II. This is awesome. I really enjoy watching the videos of you and your brother and also Carrie 😚.
Thank you for exploring so much and show us so much from places we haven't been so far. Wish you all the best and have a nice day. Oh and I of course send this video to my brother and father who are talking about climbing mt. Kilimanjaro for years. Both are passinate climber in the bavarian alps here in Germany. My dad also did a apl crossing from Germany to Italy last year with my sister. ❤🌍
Thank you for taking us along on this amazing adventure.
Alex ... Such a beautiful journey and video. Your entire demeanor is on a heightened spiritual level. This experience is very different than any other I have ever seen you encounter. Beautiful reverence for the mountain and the trek. Can't wait to see you reach the summit!
This was REALLY enlightening. Been a fan of you guys for almost a year now and I love binge watching your content, especially before I travel. Was so happy to see that mt. Kilimanjaro helped you become so happy! I haven't traveled much in my life yet, but that is definetely on my bucket list!
Congrats on making it this far. A lot of hard work and effort went into the making of this video so thanks for sharing.
Definitely one of the best videos you've ever done! Way to go!

Good work. Excellent video and climb. Thanks for all the information to go along with the beautiful images. Can't wait for Pt2.
You guys are putting out some of the best CZcams has to offer in 2019.... and I watch a lot of CZcams. Great Video and Great Channel!
fantastic production, you deserve way more views than what you've currently got. Thoroughly enjoyed it!
Well done! Hope to hike up Kilimanjaro myself one day.
Incredible experience. Wow.
I love the adventures you bring us too. I know have 'been' to places I didn't know anything about.
Rest well and until the next video.
♥🇨🇦
dude! love this video! you just motivated me to set even bigger goals than I already had!! Love it!
Awesome video! I had no idea that there were four different ecological zones on the mountain. I think I have to add this to my bucket list now.
The porters are super humans ,this video is everything . I hope to climb Kilimanjaro soon
Vagabrothers will always be my favorite CZcams channel. Well done on this video, Alex! It's incredibly inspiring, beautifully shot and makes me excited to embark on this trek in the future! :)
🌹
I summited Kili in June of 2008. It was always my #1 item on my bucket list. I will never forget the last day's 3,500 foot climb from Barafu Camp to Uhura Peak. Encountered heavy snow half way up that June 6th day, but getting to the summit and sleeping that night at Crater Camp (500 feet below the summit) is something I will never forget.
Africa is rich and beautiful. I will definitely visit Tanzania. great country

The different ecosystems are amazing! What an inspiring video
Really cool video dude. Great all round way to share your experience!
I like the way you portrayed this I'm Tanzanian watching from China but this is absolutely scintillating....I like the energy from those guys
February 1, 2017 - that was the day I hit the summit of Kilimanjaro. I traveled solo and had a great time Thank you for bringing all those memories back to me.
Glad to see you liked my Kilimanjaro video!
Vega Brothers, Thank you for this breathtaking experience and excellent cinematographic video.
Awesome!! Well done, Alex!
Thanks for sharing! This is beautifully done. I'm climbing next July, so this gives me a perfect look into what's to come. Looking forward to the next one.
This is one of the best video ever! Amazing how you explained everything and footage are unbelievable!
I'm planning to climb it next year, and I can't wait
Welcome friend,am Kilimanjaro guide,Just visit my page www.onewayadventures-tz.com we've good offer for you
Amazing video Alex! I can't wait to climb this thing myself!
Thanks dude!!! When are you planning to do it?
I remember in your walk and talk in NYC talking about climbing it. I know you can do it man!
1:14: *First westerner climbed in 1889. It is quite Euro-centric to believe that nobody from the continent of Africa climbed it before then.
Joel Taylor hahaha Europeans always want to take the credits for our very own things. Our ancestors climbed to the top many centuries ago
Ha???? Millions upon millions of people lived there through out history. How dumb you have to be to think that they never climbed it 💀💀 please, humble yourself you sound dumb.
I live at the slope of mount Kilimanjaro,our ancestors has climbed it before that European,a European was try to climb it without a guide but was difficult on that time,but next year he come to do again,he take a guide from my village and made it to the top,are you there? Just visit my page! www.onewayadventures-tz.com
Our ancestors climbed the mountain and prayed there. The Maa have reference to it from ancient times.
He clearly said "The first WESTERNER to climb." That in no way suggests the local inhabitants did not make the climb also. Don't be so anxious to distort people's statements into meaning something they didn't say.
Alex, we have been waiting for this video for a long time now and we are glad it is out!!!
Thank you!!!
I loved this video, beautifully filmed! I'm looking forward to Part 2. This is definitely on my bucket list now.
Thank you!!! Part 2 is coming soon!

(August 10, 2022) I enjoyed this video very much, Alex, even if it is 3 years ago. The short glimpse of Mt.
