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!!!
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. 🙏🙏🇹🇿🇹🇿🇹🇿🇹🇿🇹🇿
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’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 🏴🏴🏴
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.
@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.
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.
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 🇹🇿
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!
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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!!
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!
love the ant standing up who seemed like he was directing his troop... I was camping in Africa for over 6 months back 1997 - mama africa! great vid man! ;)
My god guys, closing in on that 1 million mark. So deserved. Wish I could meet you guys some day, you've been so inspirational to my girlfriend and I. We've recreated three of your adventures; Amsterdam & Rotterdam, London, and next week Ireland:) we love visiting the places you've been; from the biggest excursions to small-town restaurants - we have never been disappointed.
I climbed Kilimanjaro once, will definitely do it again after watching this, Mama Louise deserves a credit 😀😀😀, waiting to watch part 2 of the adventure 💪🏿
I went with Kiliwarriors in 2010 when I was 17! While the crew and company have changed a lot since then, I am happy to still recognize some faces! This video is beautiful! It really captures the amazingness of each day on the hike! It is truly a life changing experience that I am so happy I was able to do. Thanks for making such a great video to really show the love of this amazing mountain volcano, as well as the hardwork these porters do, because yes, none of us would have gotten to the summit without them. They are incredible. Asante sana!
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. ❤🌍
Do more advertising on social media. This channel has potential.Don't quit doing these travel videos. It's gonna take some time but you are gonna make it.
👍 for all the porters and support staff who got the Vag-crew up the hill. Surprised to see the drone fly at the final camp. Thought it would struggle along with the humans in the thin air. 🤔
Hello from Tanzania.My husband original village is just at the foot of the mountain.He used to be a potter to earn extra money during school holidays.They put maximum of 30kg for safety of the potters also.
The highest we've been is about 10,000 feet up in Rocky Mountain National Park, we weren't very prepared for the drastic weather change from Denver and had to run from lightning! The views up there look spectacular!
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
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. ♥🇨🇦
Alex, your cinematography and production is A+. Superb footage! Where’s Marco and Carrie?! Miss them both! (Don’t follow other socials so I may be out of the loop)
Exceptionally professional video. Awesome footage, very captivating narration. Just top quality. Good fact telling and great advice too. I am impressed with you guys. You are awesome!
Vagabrothers will always be my favorite RUclips 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! :)
Your Video is super cool! This is one of the best, definitely the best video of Kilimanjaro i have seen. I was born at the foothills of this mountain, my dream is to climb this massive mountain someday. You video inspires me to do so very soon. And hey you also have a great attitude of explaining things. Love all the way from Tanzania.
(August 10, 2022) I enjoyed this video very much, Alex, even if it is 3 years ago. The short glimpse of Mt. Kilimanjaro is beautiful and no wonder than many treks have been made by mountain climbers and nature enthusiasts like you. I will surely continue viewing the finale of your trek---Part 2 of climbing the highest mountain on the African continent! Thank you for sharing your beautiful and very informative videos.😄
Wow that is awesome! Beautiful video! I've been wanting to head out that way for a while and get some footage for my own channel. Keep up the good work!
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.
16:24 they are incredible and care the climber so much, look how the food they made beautiful even it in the middle of the dessert. Respect and love to them :)
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!

@@upendasana7857 wow…such great tips…thanks! What route do you recommend taking?
I did this climb back in 2006. Brings back a lot happy memories. Very challenging, but so rewarding.
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.
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.
To travel is to live
I love that you shed light on local porters' efforts.
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
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.
This is some National Geographic level video.
totally agree
Facts
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.
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.

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.
I LOVE MY COUNTRY TANZANIA♥️♥️🇹🇿🇹🇿🇹🇿💪💪
The porters are super humans ,this video is everything . I hope to climb Kilimanjaro soon
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
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!
