FINAL film from my experience climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania!!! HUGE THANKS to the Kiliwarrior team and Pat for being a YES MAN. Hope everyone's New Year goals are off to a killer start, the best is yet to come!
Erik Conover loved it bro!!
#OM Peace #Freedom of Soul
Well done Erik. Keep up the good work. Thanks for showing us this.
so what's the next trip? :D
Erik, this brought tears to me eyes. I've been watching you since way back in the tiny apartment and you were lifeguarding at a pool. To see you on top of Kilimanjaro, literally on top, of the world is so symbolic. You've worked hard, worked through the obstacles, handled the difficulties and heartbreak of life, believed in yourself, kept at it and gone, up, up, up, and you always stress that you don't do it alone, that you have people in front, beside and behind you all the way. What an inspiration you are my young friend! Keep spreading your message!
You are Great Sir, Real inspiration for me. You are responsible for one push that brings Dream and reality more Closer. Keep dreaming and keep achieving forever. Godspeed.
This video is not just about climbing a mountain... this is about the struggle, persistence, hard work etc. needed to achieve our goals in life. Kudos Erik! You made it.
Thank you for that !
Yes! There's something beautiful about perseverance. What a great picture of that.
As I am watching this film, my daughter Jacq has just reached the summit at Killi...what an accomplishment! I am extremely proud of her...I thank God for her safe passage!!!
The Porters and those camps are literally a 7 star hotel for Everest climbers.
I successfully climbed Kili in 2015 at age 55. And the cold--like you--I can't describe how bitterly cold it was (and I'm Canadian!). On my ascent, in the middle of the night, I thought I would just stop, keel over and die and my team mates would find my body the next day when coming back down the mountain. That's how cold it was!! I persevered and made it to Uhuru Peak. Congrats to anyone who treks Kili. She''s a beast to be sure!
Congratulations
What time of year did you climb it?
@@Jacolock123 February 1st - 8th. Our team leader has trekked it many times and this is when she takes a team. Our Tour Guide was ZARA Tours. They also do tours in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. Check them out. You won't be disappointed.
First week of February.
Man this is an awesome comment.
The camera crew deserves a lot of credit! Great video, especially the glaciers, and carrying all that gear up the hill is a task.. I walked up Kilimanjaro on the Lemosho route a few years ago when I was sixty. We did it in seven days, not nine. A few suggestions if you choose to take the walk. First, take the longest route you can for which you have the time and money-that will increase your odds of success. Don’t dwell on the cold or the elevation; it only makes it worse for you and more so on those you’re walking with. Occasionally you will be breathing hard and you will be a bit chilly, just like everyone else. Instead, go slow; look at the sights, chat with the guide and porters, enjoy the trip. Also, book a local company, it’s way cheaper and you will learn more about Tanzania. (Thirty-five yrs ago I was a Peace Corps volunteer in East Africa.) Don’t wear safari gear like the narrator-our porters told me it’s insulting. Learn a little bit of Swahili online, the porters will love it. Use your old boots, old parka, and old sleeping bag, and plan on giving them to your porters (who desperately need them) at the end of your trip, and do that away from the guide. Otherwise many guides will take the donated gear and sell it. And if you tip money, then the guide and the company most likely will get all of it. Don’t be intimidated by the Western Breach. At its worst places, it’s barely class 2, and using even helmets is overkill. Everyone in my group made it to Uhuru: Haraka haraka haina baraka, Pole pole ndio mwendo. The trip is fun, and you should take this walk.
Safi sana ulijifunza na Kiswahili
Veryhelpful
Thank you, sir! I’m planning my trip to Tanzania right now.
Awesome :)
Hw was it. 👌🏾@@Percules625
Went there in 2017. To me, the porters are just amazing people. Great companions. They can never get enough recognition.
Seriously awesome man, congrats on reaching the summit.
Gabriel Traveler I'm a big fan and I love your blogs :)

You motivated me to get out of my comfort zone, and in a couple of weeks I’ll be traveling to Norway and Iceland
you will love Norway! Might be heading to Iceland next week
Erik Conover that’s awesome! I hope you do!

I show this to my 6th graders every year when we study Subsaharan Africa. I use it to highlight how the environment changes as you go up in elevation. Also the kids genuinely enjoy it. They feel like they went on that adventure with you. Also great message at the end!
Tanzania the land of Kilimanjaro,the highest free stand alone mountain in the world🇹🇿🇹🇿🇹🇿
Erik, I lived on Kilimanjaro (at Marangu) as a teenager. Back in the the 1960s, most of the climbing expeditions began at Marangu, so I was in touch with the whole experience of climbers regularly passing my friends and me on the soccer field. In my own attempt for the summit just before coming back to the States, I got past the third hut to 17,500 feet, an hour and a half from the top, but had thrown up 30 times in 30 minutes. Altitude sickness hit me big time, so I was forced to turn back. Still, this is a mountain climb that is exquisitely beautiful, and doable for many people with good health who do not get crippled by the altitude. It is one of life’s sweet pleasures, as you have shown in this EXCELLENT video. No need for ropes or pitons, it’s in a stable country with lovely people for the most part, seasoned porters and guides are there to assist, and this would be a terrific bucket list goal for some of your viewers here. I have traveled now in 40 countries, and I often think the most beautiful place I have ever been is lying in the alpine meadow at about 9400 feet, just above the first hut, called Mandara. A close second place would be getting toward the top of the gorgeous mountain and beholding the royal blue sky during the daytime, darker because there is less atmosphere and you’re closer to outerspace up there. Go try it! Na bahati mzuri! (And good luck!)
My friends went last December and a few couldn't make it due to altitude sickness. You are amazing, you not only climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro but made an entire documentary out of your journey. Huge respect! :)
We lost a wonderful personality in South Africa trying to summit this mountain and through your videos, I find myself realising how brave he was.... this does not look easy and it requires more than physical strength. I'm glad you made it and safe. #RIPGuguZulu
The Fastest Brother in Africa 🏎
I tried 3 times!
Nearly died 3 time. Went on Machame and Lemosho.
Still love Kilimanjaro.

If climbing Kilimanjaro nearly killed you, imagine climbing the Himalayan monsters.
Can you please tell a little more detail ?
about the hardships that you had
@@yangerjamir0906 then when you climb Kangchenzongha, Mt Everest feels like child's play.
Erik this video looks straight off the National Geographic channel! Absolutely beautiful and huge congratulations for reaching the summit! You should be really proud of this video and climb!
thanks for the love, these are the kind of adventures that I will be sharing this year

Everytime Erik speaks about the air/oxygen, I immediately start feeling like I was hyperventilating lol I can't imagine how thin the oxygen is in that part of the world. Such stunning views though!

Bro honestly I felt the same! I was breathing a bit heavier even though I’m just laying in my bed
Omg You are right about the mountain she is amazing! And The air isn't that thin I've summited mountains that need bottles of O And lots of it. But Climbing rn is a crime not to do.
Andre Cummings people that have empathy usually feel that way. It’s like if someone yawns you yawn, we’re hard wired to be social creatures
Being in Everest base camp, this doesn't look anything. But still every place has its challenges.
My wife and I used a candle lantern in our tent each night. 1 single candle running all night for about 8-10 hours. When it was 15F degrees outside on our snow covered tent, it was a comfortable 38F inside out tent. :)
Did she got lucky , in the tent , you know, warmth , candles , wet socks drying ...
2 months of training, i cant even imagine the endurance. this was surreal to watch, absolutely breathtaking..a whole other level!
Feels like I climbed Mt Kilimanjaro with you. I can’t even imagine the feeling of successfully getting to the tops. Just amazing.
Erik you started calling your videos as films,a perspective I found really interesting.Today it is the first time I felt like I was watching a film and not an ordinary travel video etc.Your work is outstanding and keeps getting better and better
*you are a very st**id person tackling in feet, like 95% of the world uses international metric units*
I summited this January, one of the greatest experiences I’ve had. It’s a hard trip, not “a walk up the trail” as others have said. I was sick the entire time and pushed through it. The porters are the true heroes and I will be be respectful and gracious towards them. It rained the entire time, except for the summit push. Great video
Mount Kilimanjaro is absolutely breathtaking! You did an amazing job with the climb and with this video! Son, you are a true inspiration! Love you, mom

My friends from undergrad and I climbed Kili in June 2017... most beautiful of experiences! A week without internet was pure bliss. Thanks for this video series.. brings back great memories
What a truly stupendous video ... loved your humility which made it possible for me to feel your passion, sense of expectation, anticipation, pain, anguish, awe and exhilaration. Above all, I loved how you kept showing your respect for the indomitable Kiliwarriors. Learned so much. 🙏🙏🙏
Glad you enjoyed it!
Unbelievable. I teared up watching this video. Congratulations Erik, and thank you for sharing this journey with us. Thank you for sharing parts of the local town and the story of the porters. I'm also really glad you made it back safely. It might sound weird, but I was actually concerned for you and was glad for your quick update on Instagram. I can't wait to see more videos from you!
8:50 Drone goals! That shot is pure fire!
I will never get to cross this one off my bucket list in this lifetime. Health, age, and circumstance will prevent me. Thank you for taking me with you on your journey. I will join you in my next life. Gods blessings my friend!!
I first visited your page for the love of houses.., I didn't know I would end up watching you visiting My country and City., I am Proud to be a Tanzanian and I am Happy you made such a trip..., Karibu Tena Tanzania..
My friends and I climbed Kili this year- they told us your route was no longer used because too many folk were killed in rockslides. It also was warmer for us, no snow at lava tower, so it looks like you had a hard climb. Respect ✊
Not so sure about those deaths stories you were told.. it’s NOT the Everest… more like Washington’s Rainier.. very rare for a death to occur, all are near miss! ❤️🇹🇿
@@PrincePaulIowa its true that route isn't used any more, a number of people lost their lives due to Rockslides, i am from hiking Kilimanjaro last month.
Love it my dude
thank you brother!

Man, everything about this series was just epic... this was literally television quality. I could really sense that you were 10000% into it too. You have come along way dude... crazy. I even watched your first few videos just now to get a sense once again of how far you have come. That's the great thing about youtube that you wont find anywhere else, I can watch the first videos of creators like yourself/lost le blanc/ gabriel traveler/vagabrother e.t.c and get a real sense of how it all began. Very motivational!!!!
I climbed the machine route this past summer at 15 years old and it was an experience, very cool to see another route.
Erik-- I have been watching your channel since the tiny studio apartment. It was been a joy to watch you come into your own, develop your film skills, and purse your dreams. I have enjoyed every trip, but this one-- this one left me feeling like a dear friend had just accomplished an amazing feat! I'm so ridiculously proud of you. Well done!! And the footage is just the icing on the cake.
Congratulations on making it to the top of Kilimanjaro Erik!
This is the absolute best of CZcams and the absolute best of humankind right here. Brought me to tears
Thanks for taking the Climb Joey! Kili will welcome you back anytime!
Probably your best video so far! That's what I call a proper travel vlog!
AHHHH ERIC! YOU ARE SUCH AN INSPIRATION! THANKS FOR SHARING THIS WITH ME!
Those glaciers!! Thanks so much, Erik and the team, your amazing photography has shown me things I couldn't have imagined. It seems that Kilimanjaro is not just a mountain, it's a land, incredibly vast, diverse, and mindblowing.
I trekked to the summit in 2013 and wow I’ll never forget that feeling as your on the roof of Africa
Well done guys
‘We call him, Mama’ lol 😂 best joke ever
Ohh boy the joke knocked me down lol
One day maybe I'll climb that mountain or another but man you make us feel like we're right there with you. I feel invigorated just watching this video.
Climbing mount kilimanjaro is on my bucket list after watching this video...its the true adventure...how beautiful and surprising is nature's wonders...snow in Africa!
The views at the summit are outrageously beautiful. Wow!!!
did this climb in 2017,its one of the greates things am proud of
Nice way to present your documentary of Mt Kilimanjaro with all the narrative scene support in the video.. So far best one i've seen, please keep up your good work.
Erik, this was amazing! I got all misty eyed a few times watching! What you have done here is magic and I believe we all can feel that magic! You have the heart of a great explorer! Don’t ever stop!!
Dude these two videos on Kilimanjaro were AMAZING! I'm turning 40 in a couple years and have been trying to think of something EPIC to do on my 40th birthday...maybe this is it!
One of my favorite videos of yours, keep up the great work!
Hi Erik,
I climbed Kilimanjaro as well in February of this year and this video is an amazing representation of the feelings that one feels on the exceptional adventure. This video really made me realize the magnitude of our achievement. Congratulations and thanks for the great video.
LOVED this series Erik! Beautifully shot and narrated. Congratulations on summiting!
very inspirational! Being overweight and dreaming about Kilimanjaro push me to work out even harder. Thank you Erik.
I have been waiting for this !

Thanks for sharing what is an experience you will never forget. A truly outstanding accomplishment. Looking forward to the next adventure!
I have never seen such Majestic beauty in my life. This video really does it justice. As African, I have heard a lot about Mount Kilimanjaro, now I know how truly impressive it is. Superb!
Beautiful place and going through all (well, almost) of Earth's climate zones in a week is pretty cool!
wow I enjoyed it a lot The scene was aesthetically pleasant . Love from Pakistan .
Eric, you have motivated me more than I can ever tell, Thank you so much. You are quite literally amazing for all you have accomplished my brother. ❤ Love from Fiji.
Absolutely love this video. Brings back many amazing memories. Did this trek back in 2011.
this was beautiful. amazing video!
Its 2 am here in Ireland and I've just watched this video. It brought back vivid memories of February 2008 when I climbed this amazing mountain. Well done and thank you for sharing. In ten years time and beyond you will treasure the memory like I still do.
This is a piece of work that shows us and teaches us how to make a dream becoming true no matter how many difficulties you have to go through.
It made a tremendous impact to me.
Thank you guys for this
Yes
You've come so far, Erik! I am so proud and happy for you
SubhanAllah it's beautiful
Amazing! When I got up this morning and saw this was up I thought "Yes! I get to finish my trek up the mountain!" Your travel videos inspire and also give the feeling that your audience is with you. Great work. Can't wait to see where you go next!

Congrats and thank you so much for taking me on this journey with you!!!
Really beautiful footage, Erik. Especially the shots of Crater Camp, the glaciers and the amazing flyover the Ash Pit. Just gorgeous!
The shots at the top are some "planet earth" type shots. cheers!

Incredible video - I climb in 2 weeks and this has made me even more excited (and anxious) but thank you for creating this! It looks beautiful and I can't wait to witness the sights that you saw very soon.

Always appreciate the authenticity behind your videos. This video not only extremely beautiful but the journey of getting to the top is simply inspiring and so touching. The struggle, determination, teamwork behind the whole process had me tearing up but smiling with admiration as well. Sending much love your way. Keep shining.
Very impressive! Gorgeous images, and your commentary builds excitement, but also humility towards the people who helped you to reach your goal. Can't wait to see your next adventure!
This was incredibly inspirational to watch. Congrats on your achievement!!! The video shots are beautiful. Keep striving to live the best life possible :)
I agree with you
Amazing! Nice job Erik!
Best video I have seen in a very long time. Was amazing to watch really felt like you were taking us along for the ride. congrats as well for reaching the summit.
WOW! I have major respect for you guys. What an accomplishment!
Awesome video dude. I am a New Yorker but i was born in Moshi right at the foot of the mountain and had the privilege of climbing it twice.
I describe altitude sickness as the worst hangover you’ve ever had...and drinking more won’t help. It’s difficult and painful to do anything. Your head pounds, you feel like vomiting, and you have no energy. If you ever take young children on vacation at high elevation and they say they don’t feel good then remember your worst hangover and that’s probably how they feel. Oh yeah, and your fingers tingle like someone is poking them with needles. It’s an awful feeling.
I've been wanting to climb Kilimanjaro for 9 years. Last year at 30 years old I summited Mt. Fuji and watched the sunrise. Hopefully 2021 will be the year I summit the crown of Africa.
Come to Nepal and climb Mt. Everest or Mt. Annapurna!
You will enjoy a lot.
Lots of love from the country of Himalayas, Nepal.
