  • In January 2024, I climbed Kilimanjaro with my friend Matt. I booked it not knowing what to expect from a climb in January, and we were the only 2 people in the group trip we'd booked. Being a pretty quiet time on the mountain and uncommon time to summit, I recorded this video to give others an insight in to what the experience is like, using the Marangu route across 6 days.
    Any questions, please do leave a comment and I'll do my best to respond.

    Great video Luke! Those cloud inversions were beautiful 😍I enjoyed watching your Toubkal video before I did it myself and now I think I'll have to do Kilimanjaro

      Thanks! Ha, does this mean I’m now an influencer!? I see you’ve posted a video about Toubkal - I’ll give it a watch see how it looks this time of year, great place hey. Kilimanjaro was excellent, but I think I downplayed the impact of altitude on me in the video. We recorded that intro about 6x! But I’d definitely recommend it. Amazing part of the world.

      @@Luke_Duggan I give you permission to adopt the title 😂 Well as you'll see in the video, the conditions weren't quite as we were expecting, but still amazing! Altitude sickness is definitely a concern, but I think you did one of the shorter routes? Maybe I should consider a longer one. Also interested in Everest Base Camp but apprehensive for the same reason!

      We did yes and it’s considered the easiest route because of the huts and it’s quite short. I still can’t say if how I felt was due to the malaria tablets, the altitude or the D&V… so I need to do another higher one! Peak Lenin would be cool.
      Everest Base camp looks like an excellent trek, and it’s quite affordable…

      @@Luke_Duggan Oh wow Peak Lenin would be amazing, definitely a bit higher than I'm thinking of going just yet, but maybe one day 😂 a bit more off the beaten track than Kili or EBC as well, would be a very cool area to visit. Will be interested if you make a video!

    Great video, really enjoyed it. You made it like I was with you, which is handy as I feel I don't have to do it myself now!
