I'm only 16 years old and I'm climbing Kili in july, this video made me even more excited than I already was. Thank you!
You’re gonna love it!
OMG... Saving this to watch later. My hubz and I are planning to climb Kili 2023. We wanted to go next year, but due to the pandemic, we move it to 2023. Next month it will be my turn to get jabbed.
Cheers.
Hope you make it there soon! We're waiting on our jabs down here in New Zealand! Hopefully in the next month!

Just wow. Bought me right back to the mountain and the feelings and physicality that you experience while climbing. I didn't summit (acute mountain sickness came on summit night 2,000ft before the peak), but I definitely had my own personal summit. I can still perfectly visualise the sun coming up over Mawenzi that morning. Kili changes you in ways I am still discovering and exploring 2 years later. When I can, I hope to go back and try another route.
Thank you Casey! It’s such a personal journey! I’m sorry you got mountain sickness but it is so high up there! I’m glad my video brought you back!
Casey, what route did you take? I hope that you make it back
I feel bad for the one person that disliked your video
Haters gonna hate lol
This is indeed a great video.
it was a nice video till @7:30 and I stopped watching
The Swahili captions are way accurate I like it...🇹🇿
Amazing!!!! What a spectacular, heartful, well-shot and produced Kili vlog!!!
Thank you 🙏🏼
As a beach person, I starting to appreciate the beautiful mountains all over the world.
I get it!!! Mountains are amazing - but as a beach person it took me a while to realize too haha
Too agree! Maybe it takes a different level of appreciation that most won’t take time to understand 😩
I lived in Moshi (foothills of Kilimanjaro) for 9 years, and I love that people get inspired to climb the mountain! -Marisela
What a cool place to call home!
'few great journeys are completed alone' wow 😍
The truth!
I love this video! Come back to it frequently for its abundance, What an experience! id rather climb this mountain than everest, id visit the base of everest tho. with the african culture and the rainforest its snowy peak a beautiful combination cant believe its real and we live in a time where you can travel there.. what a time to be alive God bless
Thank you Joshua. I love your comment.
My boss climbed this 2 years ago! She’s a badass woman! I hope to be as healthy as she is when I’m her age! She had such an amazing time and had such great stories to share about her group and the guides/helpers :)
Awesome!! Yes it’s such a great experience! Maybe share this with her and see what she says :)
I’ve enjoyed many Kili videos but this is the first video that made me want to climb the mountain. Simply amazing
Thank you! It was an unforgettable experience!
Waoh Alex, this is one of the best video documentary I’ve seen so far. Spectacular views and a breathtaking moon rise in perfect alignment with Venus. Loved every second of it. 🤗😘🌼🇻🇪
Thank you Monique 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Thank you Mahmoud. Must have been nice back then!
Alexander a coisa mais difícil é um céu azul no cume do Kilimanjaro. Seu vídeo foi o melhor de todos que já vi. A geleira no cume deveria ser património da humanidade de tão linda. Meus parabéns pelo trabalho lindo. BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL THANKS.
Muito obrigado Nilton!
Hi Alex , thanks for showing this journey, that is some of the most beautiful views I have ever looked at . As an amateur astronomer, that moon rise was out of this world , and the fate of the glaciers is horrifying, you are a very lucky man . that is one hell of an adventure.
Thank you James! Yes the moon rise was unreal! Hope the glaciers stick around for much much longer
You inspired me throughout this clip. The powerful and emotional ending teared me up. I'm gonna do the summit in the summer. Thank you Alex!
Thank you Niaz. We can achieve anything we out our mind to!
Wow they were really out there singing “Hakuna Matata” when you arrived
Disney copied the song from the popular Swahili folk songs
But also because it pays the bills…
That was nuts- Congrats on summitting! And congrats on a life-milestone video. ❤️ The length and editing just feel so monumental.
Thank you Johanna!!! Really appreciate the kind words 🙌🏼
I am filled with admiration for all of you who climbed Kilimanjaro! Congrats. I've seen it from the air as I returned birthplace of South Africa. The feelings you guys felt and breathed was being in Africa. Sadly you never were able to walk barefoot on the red Earth! You will experience a major moment.. You are on Mother Earth/ Mama Afrika. Be very proud.
I love being in Africa. The most incredible continent. Thanks for watching hope you subscribe and stick around for more 🙌🏼
Of all the MANY Kili videos I've watched, yours is hands down the best. Thanks for bringing us along on your journey.

Kilimanjaro is coming up in September. I am beginning my journey for the 7 summits. I think Africa is the trip I am most excited about.

Summiting those 14ers aren’t easy either! Thanks for watching and for the nice comment. 🙏🏼

This is such a professional and comprehensive documentary on climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro; it belongs on the Discovery channel. Way to go Alex! I have a lot of items to check off my bucket list, climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro has always been one of them, but it has definitely moved up in priority after watching this video! Just incredible.
Thank you Melissa - really appreciate the kind words. Hope you make it up the mountain soon!
One of the most comprehensive guides to Kili. Thank you. Planning a trip this Aug. I'm looking forward to and pumping up for it.
Awesome! Enjoy it!
Alex....you are just awesome 👌❤! Thanks a lot for sharing your adventure with us....thank you for choosing Kilimanjaro.....Tanzania is beautiful country!......Africa as a whole is an amazing continent!.... Thanks again Alex, keep up the good work....love from South Africa!
Thank you Thoko. I loved South Africa and my time there. Hope to come back and see more one day
Wow! I am just impressed with this vlog/documentary of your Mt. Kilimanjaro climb. A+ stuff. I completed my own Kilimanjaro last December 2021 and by Grace of God, I was able to summit and reach Uhuru Peak. I didn't take the Lemosho route like you guys did but chose the Machame route instead, doing the entire trek in 7 days. Watching this brought a little bit of tears to my eyes, recalling my difficult but rewarding climb. Thank you for this guys!
Fantastic visuals and heartfelt sentiments combine to make an exquisite presentation! Especially love those words of encouragement and acknowledgment for your mom my dear friend.That you thought to recognize her strength while you were at the top of your journey really was very special! Boundless determination for both of you!You’re a good man Alex!
Thank you Alison 🙏🏼❤️
I’ve watched your videos for years and this is definitely one of the best you’ve done. It definitely makes me want to climb this mountain, even with my fear of heights.
Awww thank you Kailia 🙏🏼
You should climb this highest free standing Mount Kilimanjaro before your "bucket list” get any older.
To travel is to live
Just wow! Where do i begin 😍This is a leggit film. Amazing footage, great explanations as you walk us through this amazing journey with you clearly from the heart.. I love mountains and i have been thinking about kili for a while this really puts me in the picture of how the trekking trip could go. Thank you taking us with you. Also so happy for your mom! alhamdolilah 😊
Thank you!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
❤️ wonderful cut of your experience on this mountain.
Thank you Terri! I really appreciate it
Wow such a great documentary and one to learn in advance what to expect, this sure will be one of those trips I will be taking with my son , done k2 & Everest and now this one is on the horizon quite literally!!👍💪🏻
If you’ve done those two mountains Kilimanjaro will be a walk in the park
Spectacular and inspiring. Thank you for sharing this amazing journey.
Thanks Hank!! I’m glad you enjoyed the film
Another amazing work of art ...wow, always impressed on your creativity, sincerity and adventure ...great work!
Thank you 🙏🏼

Thank you!
What a beautiful and exciting expedition. Great filmed and great information 👌🏼 I just loved the energy of the K warriors 👏🏼 🌞 Hakuna matata na pole pole 👊🏼
Thank you Kaveh! It was a treat to climb with their team.
Beautiful!!! Followed your advice, I poured myself a cup of coffee, but ended up not even touching it, because I was so fascinated by your film. Very inspiring, true and beautiful. Thank you.
Thank you 🙏🏼 I’m really glad you enjoyed the film
Good video dude. Well put together, kudos
Thank you David 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Yay was waiting for this :D

Awesome vlog! I can’t wait to climb it next year.
Saved for watching later! For sure this will be mindblowing
Enjoy it 👍🏽👍🏽
hello Alex thank you for cheering this huge and wonderful experience with us, your film is very inspiring and well documented, and the narration and cinematography are excellent; I was programming a trip to Tanzania this month, and the idea of climbing Kilimanjaro was out of my expectations, I suffer from osteoarthritis of the knees , but seeing your video bring me up to challenge my self. and I delay my trip for later, i think if I train and focus maybe I could climb next year
Good Saturday Morning from New Zealand, Marvelous Mt Kilimanjaro Video, Thanks for sharing Have a great weekend
Thanks Tony! Enjoy!

Enjoy your climb Julia. It’s a once in a lifetime experience
thank you so much for this!!
My pleasure! Thanks for tuning in Anna.
Amazing thanks for this documentary
Thanks Alex, for sharing this wonderful documentary. I summited Kili on Aug 19, 2022 via the Machame route (not even three weeks ago), and this video is a treasure. Saw some familiar sights for sure. I feel like I'm in an elite fraternity now and I encourage everyone to join.🙂
Do Everest next

@@AlexanderAyling you're welcome!!
(August 10, 2022) I am so inspired by your determination to succeed Alex. I just say CONGRATULATIONS for overcoming heat stroke, dehydration, and altitude sickness caused by thin oxygen. I have made a long comment on Part 2 of your trek. Stay healthy and more power. You have now your homestead in New Zealand to enjoy renovating together with your beautiful wife Carrie. God bless you.
Even though at my current physical condition climbing the stairs feels like climbing Mt.Kilimanjaro, this video made me want to go out jogging and improve my physical condition so one day I also be able to experience this wonderful trip
The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
Fantastic !!! the most beautiful movie seen on the climb of Kilimanjaro. Good job! It would be nice to go up there! Greetings from Italy. Ciao
Thank you Teddy! Grazie
Mount Kilimanjaro must be an amazing experience for you and facing the challenges and difficulties and also enjoying the adventure must be amazing🔥
It is such a unique mountain. Really incredible!
You sold me brother. I'll be a few years behind you but I will climb this mountain.
You won’t regret it
Awesome video, beautiful
Thank you! Hope you subscribe and check out more of my adventures! Start here: czcams.com/video/cVGNrebszpI/video.html
My son is beginning his Kilimanjaro quest today so he can celebrate his 50th birthday. This was scary for a mother to witness but he has always been one to conquer his fears and push himself further. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Did he make it to summit
Ok the fried chicken and chips looked really good. You are such a wholesome guy i enjoyed this very much! We pray for your Mom's speedy recovery!
Thanks!
Excellent to watch. Well done for getting to the top.👍😊
Thank you!!
The Western Breach is no joke & rainy season dose't mean rainy. I went in April the so call rainy season & it rain 1 time but it was cold but it's always cold on Killi. I only saw 5 hikers & that was at the peak. I was the only hiker on the Western Breach in April.
Must have been amazing to be up there all alone
Great vid, hoping to do this June!
Thanks Jon. Hope you can make it happen
I have already subscribe your video is amazing bro
Thank you 🙏🏼
You make my day bro, feel very proud. From India.
Thank you Path!
Liking the video 4 minutes into it already 😍
Thank you 🙏🏼
Absolutely my favourite documentary of yours so far ( ‘documentary’ feels right, rather than ‘video’). This feels artful and so heart felt. Thank you for capturing this story and sharing it with us so beautifully! I’ve been thinking of making this journey- to be honest, I’d rather hike Kilimanjaro self supported just to offset the costs of guides and porters- and the fact that part of the reward for me is accomplishing these treks on my own. However, the porters and guide company seem wonderful and I’m sure it is safer and more enjoyable with their company, energy and support. In Nepal, I hiked the three passes trek in the Everest region with my partner on our own, and we did just fine at these elevations with the help of Diomox and taking the trek very poli poli! We also hiked the mustang trek to Tibet, where a guide is required by law, and we fully appreciated his help, friendly personality and cultural insights. I’m torn, because I like to be independent and challenge myself, but I understand the importance of supporting the local economy and these wonderful guiding outfitters. Your thoughts?
Thank you Philippa- I appreciate the kind words. I totally understand your sentiments- but it’s not allowed to climb self guided on Kilimanjaro. You have to climb with a licensed company, it is just the way they do it.
I would love to get to the Himalayas and climb up to Everest Base Camp or do some of the other treks in the region.
@@AlexanderAyling Ah, well I guess I wouldn’t mind having a light pack and my tent set up for me after a long day of trekking- I am sure I would adapt 😂 quite quickly. Who wouldn’t want to start their day singing and dancing? I think you would love the three passes trek in Nepal, you can add Everest base camp to the circuit as well. It took us about three weeks. We live in the Rocky Mountains in Alberta and when we returned home from Nepal, our mountains seemed so small! Happy trekking! Looking forward to more of your outdoor adventures in New Zealand. 🙂
Like this video very much. Well done and informative. Things our guides did not tell us. Well, we did not even ask, just enjoyed the time we had. You guys should have climbed Mount Meru before Kili. It's the more beautiful mountain and ideal for acclimatisation. Baboons and giraffes are crossing the paths in the Arusha National Park.
