- Today marks three years since Jonty left the UK for Tanzania, the home of Africa's tallest mountain, Mount Kilimanjaro. Leaving behind our young family for 10 days was painful enough but what was to come was the most challenging experience that to this day, remains one of the best moments in Jonty's life.

Much love, Jonty. To this day you're the best tent mate I've ever had whilst in Africa
Hahaha! Thanks mate. I loved re-editing this and looking back on such a great time!
Wow!! What an adventure and what an experience. Gorgeous scenes of the beautiful landscape, and so brilliantly captured, too! All for a really important cause. This is genuinely something I would expect to see aired on the BBC. Bravo, Jonty 👏🏻
Thank you Ciara!! Was an unforgettable experience 😊 if I ever make it onto the BBC, trust me, I will never forget the support we first received through CZcams ❤️
What an absolutely meaningful adventure... thanks for sharing it with us. The look on the kids' faces and Millie's at Heathrow was priceless.
I was SO happy to have him home!
Great show. Altitude sickness is not fun. Glad that you got thru. So sad that one of the member didn't made it. It is thru such adventure that one gets to have a better reflection on life in general and family in particular.
Absolutely!! Never appreciated my family more than when I was out there!!
That was so awesome. You and the guys were so awesome!
Thank you!! Those porters were incredible.
Wonderful experience & great memories!!
Superb memories!!
Nice! Thanks for sharing, so glad you could experience some of the Africa spirit,it is just something you cannot explain 🙂
It was beautiful!!
Great video. A group of my family and I just climbed Kilimanjaro at the beginning of October. I can attest that it was one of the hardest things physically and mentally to do. In the end we pushed through and made it.
Wow!!! Congratulations!! Must have been an amazing feeling!!! I’ll make it up there one day 😁
@@WONDERLUSTworld Looking forward to seeing that video.
Thank you!
Beautiful, love the vast big open natural spaces😊👏👍
It’s BEAUTIFUL 😻
Amazing landscape.
Absolutely stunning!!
Thank God you are alive
Enjoying watching your video
Thank you 😊
That first flower you showed is the Kilimanjaro Impatiens which is unique to the mountain. In the UK Impatiens is called 'Busy Lizzie' but ours is not so pretty.
Don't worry about the emotions. I think the altitude must cause it as I saw several male colleagues tearing up through happiness or sympathy on the climb, including me 🙂
Oh wow! I have just seen how it ended. I have to say I was surprised you went straight from Baranco to Base camp as almost everyone sleeps at Karanga so they can get more sleep at the base camp next day but it looks like that had no bearing on your ascent issues. Well done for surviving it all.
Thank you! Was an awesome experience and I’d do it again in a heartbeat!
A wonderful and excellent hiking tour. Liked9. Cheers!
Thank you for watching!! 😁
You're welcome, my friend.
I hiked Kili last summer. The true unsung heroes are the porters; seeing how hard the porters worked and how little they bring home. I was told the porters main income come from tips from the hikers. Our group tipped them as generously as we could. My friend and I gave away gear that we didn't need anymore. Please make sure to tip the porters and give away any gear you don't need. It is so sad that a porter died due to insufficient clothing.
Yeah! We had heard from hikers who did it a few years before me that even as recent as 2014, porters were climbing in flip flop slippers!! We gave away heaps of our gear too 😊 and Thanks for watching. I hope it brought back some good memories for you?
Yes it did! I was blessed to be with great company and had lots of care (nearly 30 crew members for 8 hikers). We all managed to summit safely. It was a memorable experience. Thank you for your video.
Altitude sickness is the worst. I had that when I travelled to Manchu Picchu and Tibet. The constant headache and shortness of breath was terrible.
Yes! But I would do it again in a heartbeat! Machu Picchu is on the bucket list for sure!! Need to prepare 🤣
WOW! You took me back to Tanzania! I was there over 20yrs ago to produce a documentary of a gold mining project in Geita (near Lake Victoria). I only viewed Kili from the plane. There was a lot more snow at the summit then.
Wow! It is stunning from the plane! I’m really interested in your documentary??
@@WONDERLUSTworld please check your email. Cheers!
Wow, great adventure. LOVE to explore when borders open . . Mine was way , way back long ago during my secondary sch.exercusion to SABAH. Mount Kinabalu. Happy that I reached the submit..
Ah yes! Kinabalu - I can’t wait to experience it!!
Thanks for sharing your adventure. Great video! Which company did you use?
No worries! Thank you for watching! I used action challenge - they were awesome!
Thanks for sharing! Mad respect to even trying it! Meanwhile i can only scale Butkit Timah hill XD ~ Though one day i wish to try Mount Bromo in inodnesia!
Thank you! I really enjoyed it! Bukit Timah hill is challenging in its own right! 😁
Wow you scaled Bukit Timah? I only scaled Mount Faber it was really tiring not to mentioned left me thirsty.
@@gungho9 will do Mount Faber one day ! most important is to hydrate and always have a spare water!
Absolutely!! Hydration is key!!
What a challenge! Great achievement. Sad that a local porter can die on this trip. RIP.
That was very sad. They are amazing humans. So generous, so caring. It is much more than a job to them ❤️
What time of year was this ?
Hello! This was October 2018. Are you planning a trip?
@@WONDERLUSTworld beginning stages of planning yes 😃
Awesome!! Good luck!! Do reach out if you need anything 😊
Habari Yako! Mimi ni mtu mbaya mvivu sana = How are you! I am a very lazy bad person. kwaheri pumbafu = goodbye fool. Your friend has an mischievous sense of humor.
😂😂😂 I am so glad I didn’t use the phrases!!

Thank you 😊
