What an amazing film! I went into tears when Adam started feeling unwell. I cried so much because I imagine how devastated he must have been to not be able to continue, but I’m glad he listened to his body and didn’t push his limits even further. Tania, I applaud and celebrate you for continuing for the both of you. And I cried for the second time when you made it. Congratulations, guys. Not only for this film, but for all of your films full of heart. We follow other travel creators, but you are the only ones we watch as soon as a new film comes out, and always feel like the 30 or so minutes went by “too quickly”. Thank you so much for bringing so much passion, beauty and adventure into our lives. Big hugs from Amanda & Emanuel in Toronto, Canada. ❤
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us such a beautiful and thoughtful message, Amanda!! It’s made me well up 🥹 and this sort of feedback is the motivation we use to keep us sharing here. We’re so fortunate to have you in our community 💛 xx Tania
I have watched a lot of these videos as I plan my own trip to Africa and I must tell you this is the best one yet. Thank you so much for sharing your adventure with us all.
What a beautiful film. The things that you two achieve is a total inspiration. The maturity of decision from Adam to stop when he had already come so far is just incredible. You are both such impressive people!
Wow! An absolutely beautiful & inspiring film… I’m sorry that Adam couldn’t complete the climb, but I must say I was crying with you Tania as you approached the summit. I felt your heart when you told Adam, “I’m going to do it for both of us”. You 2 have such a special bond and it’s such a privilege to come along on your journeys together. Thank you both and thanks to your amazing African guides- they ROCK! 👍🏾
I definitely felt scared and doubted my abilities. Before settling off I wondered if I would suddenly get sick and be unable to continue. Luckily the one day that I did not feel any negative effects due to the altitude and low oxygen, was on the summit day. The human body is incredible... after all the headaches I had suffered, finally, I had acclamatised! 🙌 Thank you for watching, Louise. 💛 Tania
O...M..G!!!...you two never cease to amaze me. I cannot belive you dont have a million or more followers!!!!!. Adam...it takes a person who has the integrity to quit when you did. Do NOT feel bad!. It rakes great courage to go as far as you did!. Not many people have gone as far as you did. Your video taping is always amazing and congratulations on knowing your own strength and weaknesses. Tania... what do we say about someone who is the whole package? She is SO warm friendly and her face just illuminates every emotion. I cried for Adam and I cried all the way to the top with Tania. Not only did she have the courage to go on for Adam and of course herself...but she actually finished for all if us as well! Congratulations to you Tania...and thanks again Tania and adam for another superb video. Love and God bless you both from Canada... hugs and please stay safe for I would truly miss you... Cheryl
Oh dear Adam my heart was breaking for you. I’m so sorry you couldn’t make it but I’m so glad you listened to your body. Very sensible ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Tania I’m so proud of you beautiful lady ❤️❤️❤️❤️ you are so strong and brave. Well done you are so impressive ❤️❤️❤️ you had me in tears. Thos beautiful guides helped you so much. What beautiful people xxxx
I finally found the quiet time I felt I needed to watch this one. What a gem. I really feel sorry for Adam not being able to make the summit but admire his intelligence to know this was not to be. Congrats to you both. And as always, well made docu, kids.
Aww, John!! Great to see you here, as always! This will certainly go down as a very special adventure for us, I'm delighted to hear you enjoyed it. Thanks for the continued support 💛 Tania
While they are all exceptional, this showcase filled with such heartfelt emotion, perseverance, beautiful souls and scenery, overflows with sensation and peaks them all. I cried with and for you. Tania, Adam, and hosts, you are radiant, insightful, inspirational gifts. 🏔🇹🇿✨️🤗
Thank you for the beautiful words of appreciation, River!! It means the world to hear that our film made you share in the feelings that we had on the mountain. We feel grateful to have you in our community 💛 xx Tania
I literally cried in the end watching this. Respect to everyone who helped you achieve this. Feel sad for Adam. One day I'll be there on the top hopefully, Kili ✨❤
Amazing film guys! So gutted for Adam but glad he made a full recovery. Summit Africa seems like such an awesome bunch. And so good to see they treat their porters fairly no matter what gender. What a truly inspiring film. Love it ❤
Hey Andy! Great to see you here, as always! Yeah, Summits Africa really does stand out as a wonderful company. They also provide mountain guide training for any porters who wish to upskill themselves. Like Eveta, she started as a porter and now is an assistant guide, soon to be a lead guide! She told me this job helps support her family and her sister's children too! 💛She is so proud and so she should be, she is a wonderful person. We bonded lots on this trip, mostly off-camera ☺ xx Tania
@@JitsIntoTheSunset Love stories like that. It makes what was an amazing adventure to start with into something that will stay with you forever. People are amazing ☺️
What an incredible film! I cried many times throughout. I really appreciated you sharing the details about how they monitor your health, and what the aim of each day is and why. What a fantastic team of people.
Incredible film! I am heartbroken for Adam that he did not get to summit, but altitude sickness is no joke and he was wise to listen to the message his body was giving him. I cried tears of joy and exhilaration with you, Tania as you walked those last steps seeing the sign at the summit. Absolutely epic experience for both of you. Thank you for taking us along on the journey and, as always, for so beautifully capturing and celebrating the men and women who were your support team. Bravo!
Thank you so much for this heartfelt message, Simone! It truly means the world to us that we were able to make you feel like you were right there alongside us, feeling the emotions we felt. We are so grateful to be able to share the magic of Kilimanjaro with you in this way 💛 Tania
Many years ago I climbed Mount Kinabalu in Borneo. I'm not comparing them, that was a 2 day hike and 2000m shorter, but we did get up before dawn to see the sunrise from above the clouds. This video brought back a lot of great memories of that whole trip. Congratulations on getting to the top. Great team, great video.
Oh wow, I bet that was absolutely stunning! We would love to explore Borneo someday - we will check out this hike!! Thank you for taking the time to watch and for your kind words 💛 Tania
Beautiful! Congratulations to Tania for achieving the summit & to Adam for listening to his body. What an amazing group of guides, porters, chefs and support workers. Thank you for acknowledging that many companies leading similar expeditions are not ethical in the way they treat their staff.
Thank you for the kind words, Ghislaine! It’s a pleasure to have been able to share in this experience with you in this way ❤ And yes, we were so shocked and disappointed to learn from the A-team themselves on how others on the mountain are treated. How other companies provide flimsy tents that leak for their team and only feed them once a day after a long days work (whereas Summits Africa feed them 3 times a day). Hopefully things will change on the mountain for the better ❤ xx Tania
wow what messages are conveyed in your brillant film 🙏🏻 i am so glad that Adam chose self respect and care for his body his well-being … the mountain gave it’s grace of clarity 🏔️
I'm delighted that our experience and message resonated with you, Michelle! Thanks so much for taking the time to watch. 💛I agree, I'm very proud of Adam for putting his health first. xx Tania
Congratulations to the both of you. Kili is a beauty that truly humbles you and teaches you the truth about your journey of life and that it was never about getting to the top but about the journey itself and mostly about the transcendental inner experience of being at one with your own soul. Ive been waiting for this trip of your, knowing you will love but nothing can explain what true altitude feels like, there are no words and it truly does push you so far outside your comfort zone. Be warned, my whole life changed, forever after my Kili trek, I finally found myself on a true spiritual path, I thought I already was but nothing has prepared me for the awakening after Kili. 10 years later and I’m a whole new version of myself, authentic…best thing I ever did. Super proud of you both, only people that have felt her energy can truly understand her power of transformation, no matter how high to got to, she still transforms you, well done. Enjoy the ride from here on IN ❤
Thank you so much for sharing about your transformative experience on Mt Kilimanjaro, Helen. ❤ I’m glad to hear the mountain had this lasting impact on you too and only hope your words will inspire others to take this challenge on themselves some day if they are able 🙌 Thank you for taking the time to watch and be here with us xx Tania
That was such an amazing film, loved every second. The quality of cinematography, the story telling, and the adventure is such a powerful mix. You've absolutely nailed it. love you guys x
Aww Ed!! It means a lot to us that you took the time to watch. Really appreciate you 💛 Looking forward to hanging out when we're back in the UK this summer🥰 Tania
Hi Tania and Adam…..wow, wow, wow…….you deliver yet another stunning video for us all to be part of and I have to say that you brought a tear to my eye when you set off on your own to the summit Tania….I can only imagine the emotions you both felt at that time! What a fabulous group of people you were fortunate enough to climb with and so good to read at the end that they are well looked after also by the company they work for. Goodness knows how you will better this video and experience, but I shall be here to watch! Best wishes Julie 😊
What a beautiful message to receive. Thank you so much, Julie! The fact that you always take the time to leave us such thoughtful words under our films does not go unnoticed and is deeply appreciated by us ❤ Thank you for being here! Xx Tania
Hi guys, this had me and my family in tears. Firstly, I want to say what a beautiful film about your Kili journey. I deeply resonated with you Tania, as I too reached the summit in early September last year and was 1 of 2 (the only female) out of our family group of 8 to make it. I truly felt what you were feeling the entire climb, but especially on summit and watching this took me straight back to that moment and to all of the intense and overwhelming emotions I was experiencing. You and Adam should be so very proud of yourselves for all of your perseverance and integrity throughout the climb ✨ Secondly, I wanted to share that we climbed Kili in honour of my late grandad who first made the summit when he was just 17 and failed to do so again when he was 71. While watching, I had to pause in shock because I believe the bracelet with his ashes is still attached to the wire on the Stella Point sign. His final wish was to be returned to Africa and after that summit sunrise, I didn’t expect to ever see it again. Thank you for sharing your incredible experience! 🏔️🇹🇿🤍
Unbelievable video. May be my favourite one yet? My heart broke for Adam and then I was absolutely bawling when you reached the top Tania. Well done to you both an amazing achievement.
Aww, thank you, sweet Lisa!! This is certainly one of my favourite films too - I think that without it, I might have ended up forgetting the details of each day and our fluctuating emotions. 💛 Thank you for your support xx Tania
That was so well shot and edited, beautifully done. Thoroughly enjoyed watching that. Respect to both of you, and to the team of porters, who all seem like total legends 🙏
Hey Tracie! I'm so pleased to hear this and YES absolutely.... you can do this!! Just remember to go Pole Pole, listen to your body and you'll make it!! What a brilliant way to celebrate 50 years of existence!! 🙌🎉 xx Tania
I summited at age 51. And not in the world's best shape (unless you count round as a shape). It is totally doable. If I can recommend 2 things: DIAMOX and ATTITUDE OVER ALTITUDE.
HAKUNA MATATA! Just keep your pace POLE POLE from the beginning, try to eat and drink every time the porters are serving something. I did UHURU PEAK thirty years ago, have to addmit ,with lots of headache pain killers. At that time the whole top was covered with snow and ice. Nowadays you walk on a dry growel. I just wish you good luck on your effort! One notice: Discussion with your friends/girlfriend/ before the final ascent because everybody cannot do it. Are you sorry/happy if I go. CAN I GO?
Wow! Just Wow! Thank you for a beautiful episode. So sorry that Adam couldn’t make it but glad to hear he fully recovered. Congratulations Tania on reaching the Summit, an incredible achievement. Not forgetting the awesome team that were with you every step of the way🙌
Yay!! I’m so pleased you enjoyed being here with us, Dale! ❤ Appreciate your continued support of our films and how you always take the time to write to us. THANK YOU! Xx Tania
Fantastic film and what an incredible accomplishment for you both! I'm so glad you listened to your body Adam, I think that was incredibly wise. Perhaps your headaches were actually gradually preparing you Tania! Our bodies are absolutely incredible, what they are capable of, but we are all so different. Personally, I would be perfectly happy just to go up as far as the foliage goes, pole pole, appreciating the flora and fauna. The Summit Africa people seem amazing, so vivacious and supportive! Thank you so much for taking us with you, giving a beautiful glimpse into an experience many of us will never know and inspiring others 🙏💛
It’s always such a pleasure to see you here in the comments, Nyree!! Thank you once again for your incredibly kind and thoughtful words 🥹 Yup, the human body is incredibly. To think that the one day that I suffered no headaches or other altitude sickness, was the most important day for me, summit day! All this time that’s exactly what my body had been doing, acclimatising to the low oxygen levels. Finally I woke up at midnight that final day and I felt well rested and full of energy. Wow! I feel so grateful for that 🙏🏼 and proud of Adam for respecting his body and the mountain. Our health and safety should always be the priority ❤ xx Tania
Great video guys. Brought back great memories of my trip to the summit of Kilimanjaro. Like you, I was quite emotional at the summit. Never thought that I could do something like that. As you said, it takes many people to help you reach you goal, either on a mountain or in life. Recognize all and cherish them. Kudos to Adam for having the courage and good sense to listen to his body and stop when he did. There is always another time to try again. Best of luck on your next adventure!
Thanks a million for your kind words, Philip! It means a lot to hear that our film resonated with you and brought you back 💛 Curious to know which route you took and a stand out moment was for you? Xx Tania
What an amazing achievement and loved the film. The team looking after you were truly awesome - carrying all that gear up the mountain too. Truly wonderful experience for you both. The film was like we were with you ❤
Thank you so much, Lesley!! I'm still pinching myself - it's hard to believe that we actually did it. I'm super grateful to have this film to look back on in the years to come so I can relive the whole experience and our emotions throughout 💛 xx Tania
Guys..I couldn't click quick enough.. WOW.. so emotional... I smiled and cried all through the vlog. A fantastic experience, AMAZING company! Thanks Summit Africa for taking our favourite you tubers on such an incredible experience and looking after them so well 👏🫶😊. Congratulations Tanya on reaching the summit 🥰.. I felt your joy and pain at climbing without Adam. Adam you are a star! Well don't for climbing higher than "base camp on Everest", facing the wall and recognising that your life/ health are more important that climbing that last part to the summit👍🫠. Your videography and story telling for this trip was INCREDIBLE as always. You both did "Summit Africa" proud! Thank you for sharing 🙏.
Hey Rebecca!! It's alwasy such a pleasure to see you here in the comments - thank you for always supporting us with such kind words!! 🥹 I'm delighted to hear you enjoyed coming along with us on this trek. 🙌 We have once last film to come from our Tanzania series which I think you'll really appreciate, so stay tuned for that! Lots of love, Tania xx
What an amazing film. To reach that summit Tania must have felt exhilarating. Adam you did the right thing listening to your body. Congratulations to you both 😊
Thank you so much lovely, really appreciate that! I don't think either of us will ever forget this trek and are both still feeling super proud (and kind of in disbelief) that we did it! xx Tania
Jambo! Wow, thank you for this incredible video! Our Friends of Friends hiking group went in Jan 2024. Eveta was one of our asst. guides - she and the amazing A-Team truly made the experience magical. Like Adam, we had two of our nine that were unable to summit. Thank you for allowing me to relive this journey with you and share in your tears as you summited.
Oh my goodness, this is so wonderful to hear! Eveta is truly a special person... her physical strength and mental endurance are an inspiration to me personally. 💛 Thank you for taking the time to watch and for the kind words. xx Tania
Awesome Video!! Such great cinematography as always. Truly inspiring for all who watch. So sorry that Adam couldn't make the whole journey, but you have to listen to your body and heed your warnings!!
Hey Brad! Great to see you again here in the comments - thanks so much for taking the time to tune in and for the kind words. They mean a lot 💛Yes, I am so proud of Adam for being responsible and prioritising his health. I think we can all easily get carried away when a goal is so close that you feel like you should push yourself but doing that on a mountain like Kilimanjaro could have serious consequences. Thanks again for your support xx Tania
What a joy to see your adventure this morning. Your content is always the Best! Thank you for doing this climb. I have always been fascinated with Kilimanjaro. I loved my experience and sunrise on Mt. Fuji. I feel content to be with you in spirit, while I drink my cup of coffee 🙏
Yay! Thanks so much for taking the time to tune in - lovely to see you back here in the comments ☺Oh wow, I bet Mt. Fuji was something special, we would love to experience that someday. 🙌 Thanks again for your support xx Tania
Another incredible film!! And if we ever go to Mt Kilimanjaro, we'll know who to go-with! 😊 Amazing trek, both of you!! Beautiful footage, beautiful moments, people... simply breathtaking. ❤
Such a wonderful travel film! Climbing Kilimanjaro hasn't been on my bucket list for very long but after seeing this it feels like one of those things I have to do :)
So enjoyed this film. I've been to Everest Base Camp & Macchu Picchu and know first hand what altitude sickness feels like. Adam made the right call , it's just not worth the risk. The Summit Africa team really stand out as exceptional people, memories for a lifetime. Huge well done!
Very beautiful film. I appreciate two things (above all the wonder you present) and that is the focus on the help it takes to do something awesome and the appreciation of that help, and the freedom and ability to say...this is enough, no farther...when you have a set goal. It takes strength to do that because we are taught that we HAVE to finish things. But knowing your limits, whether those are physical or emotional, is even more important than that end goal. Adam shows us in this film that it's ok, and actually necessary, to let that goal go and take care of himself. We love that. Thank you again for sharing your adventures!
One of my favourite messages we have received… thank you so so much for your kind words. I appreciate your appreciation, truly. ❤ Thank you for being here and continuing to support our channel. I enjoy seeing your name pop up in the comments of our films xx Tania
By the way, I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned this yet, but Sammy (my wife) is now Irish too. Since Brexit is a gift that keeps on taking and she has an Irish grandmother, we decided to apply for Irish nationality for her, which was approved last year. So, you two are fellow countrywomen now! 😘
What a superb doc! Congratulations on reaching the peak, Tania and also well done Adam on listening to your body and not giving into “summit fever” I’m going to Kilimanjaro in August this year on the same route so this has really helped me understand what to expect (and look forward to)… thank you!!
Your films always make time disappear 😅 how was that 30mins! Really beautiful to watch. My heart went out to both of you, for Adam making the call to stop and look after himself and to Tania going forward, knowing Adam was there lovingly awaiting your return. So grateful you sourced a reputable company who look after their crew ❤ another wonderful story to the collection Well done team 🥰
What an amazing film. Thank you so much ! Tania you rock….❤ so sorry Adam got altitude sick but it’s probably best he stopped when he did. Still he almost made it.
@@berenicegarcia7988 Yes he took the altitude pills but that doesn’t guarantee that they will work since everyone’s body reacts differently. ☹️ Best of luck on your Kilimanjaro adventure! Which route will you take? Tania
Always a pleasure to see you here in the comments, Annie! Thank you so much for joining us on this trek - I'm glad to hear it resonated with you like this 💛 xx Tania
Thank you for sharing your adventures. Congratulations Tania on achieving an amazing goal. I hope Adam healed completely from his sickness. Be happy and stay safe.👍👍👍
Thanks a million, Marie!! Really appreciate you taking the time to watch and for the kind words. It's amazing how good Adam felt once we had descended back into the forest. It's incredible the effects the lack of oxygen can have on your body 🥰 xx Tania
Awesome Tania and Adam … and congrats to you both🎉 … Adam you were close enough and listening to your body is key … so applaud there for trusting you’re intuition and not you’re ego 👏🏼🙏💙 Well done Tania … great accomplishment … you finished the last bit for both of you 🙏❤️👏🏼 A great vlog… so well filmed as usual… thank you for sharing and taking us with you😎
Thank you very much for the kind words, Jo!! Still pinching ourselves in disbelief that we did this… feeling mega accomplished and can’t wait to take on more stunning treks like this around the world ❤ Appreciate you being here and supporting our channel 🥰 xx Tania
@@JitsIntoTheSunset aww you’re welcome! You are living life and experiencing much … and mindfully 🙏 look forward to the next ‘journey’ however big or small .. but always interesting and fun. ♥️
Definitely your most amazing video - so beautifully filmed and narrated. Very proud of you both for your achievement on Kilimanjaro but so sad that Adam didn't summit. Tania, you are a legend! Like many others in the comments, I was in tears during parts of this video!!! And a huge shout out to the guides and porters who helped you on this epic trek. African hospitality at it's best.
Aww, Dianne, I'm so glad that you feel this way! Climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro was so much more than about the trek itself, it was about the people and all of us being a team and it was also an opportunity to learn about ourselves. Going Pole Pole for so long gave us a lot of thinking time which was incredibly valuable to us 💛 Thank you for taking the time to watch and for your continued support xx Tania
Hey guys I really enjoyed watching this episode. Adam you definitely made the right decision to stop, you listened to your body wisely. We could see it was a very emotional time for you Tania. But you did it for the both of you. Wonderful. God bless 👍🐸
Always lovely to see you here in the comments! Thank you very much for your kind words and support. Still in a state of disbelief that we actually did this... thank goodness for our film so I can forever relive the emotions that Kilimanjaro brought 💛 xx Tania
What an amazing adventure , surrounded by an amazing team of people. Your conclusion came from the heart and could not be more perceptive. You do deserve a bit of a rest after that huge undertaking, that’ for sure.❤
Hey hey!! Great to see you back here in the comments - I'm so pleased that our words have resonated with you. They did truly come from the heart. We feel so privileged to have had this experience and even more so to be able to share it here with you and the rest of our wonderful community 💛 xx Tania
Thank you for taking the time to tune in all the way from down under... we hope to explore Australia someday!! An epic road trip in your beautiful country awaits... 💛
Thanks for sharing this amazing experience, we feel so sorry for Adam but very happy for Tania. Kilimanjaro is not to be underestimated in anyway and you have to listen to your body and make the right decision for your own health. Watching your video made me quite emotional as I did Kilimanjaro with three friends 19 years ago, it’s definitely the hardest thing that I’ve ever done.
Hey Kevin! I’m delighted to hear that our film was able to bring back memories of your own Kilimanjaro experience. It just goes to show that a trek like this has a lasting impact ❤ Curious to know which route you took? Thank you for taking the time to watch, we appreciate you being here 🙌 xx Tania
@@JitsIntoTheSunset we had a bespoke itinerary over 8 days. We started on the lesser used Chambers route with options for camps each day depending on health and fitness of our small group.We did do the Barranco Wall as you did. It’s one of the best experiences of my life. Thanks for the memories xx
Wow🥹🥹😭❤🤌🏽that was beautiful!!! It is my dream (objective/goal) to hike and summit Mount Kili!! Ya'll were such an inspiration. So heartfelt! I just need to get the money to get there! And i will! By the heavens, God, my Ancestors and the power vested in me!
Well worth the wait for this one. Absolutely brilliant cinematography. As I remarked at the time commiserations to Adam but he knew and did the right thing and not putting his self at further risk. Congratulations Tania on your achievement. The emotion at the summit was clear to all. Well done.
Hey Ian! Always such a pleasure to see you here in the comments 🥰 Thanks so much for the kind words - still feels a bit surreal that we actually did this. Makes me appreciate the fact that we took the time to capture this experience on film so we can always look back and remember the detail. The landscapes, people but also the rollercoaster of emotions! 😅 Thanks so much for your continued support 💛 Tania
Thanks a million, Christine! It's our pleasure to be able to have you join us on this adventure and share in these memories. We appreciate you taking the time to watch💛 Tania
@@KevinAugelloNewEarthFilms Hey Kevin! Glad you enjoyed it, thank you for watching. ☺️ We made sure we had a permit to fly the drone. For this, we needed to have a military escort with us, which we did. Otherwise flying without a permit on Kilimanjaro is a huge risk. Hope this helps. 😊 Tania
@@JitsIntoTheSunset Yep absolutely, I thought you must’ve had a permit which I know is a logistical pain in the butt. I just came back from Everest Base Camp and there there is a huge risk due to the amount of light aircraft and helicopters… am off to Kilimanjaro myself next week ! PS - watched every commercial to its end I hope you got a couple of cents extra
@@KevinAugelloNewEarthFilms Oh wow!! EBC must have been awesome - hope you had great weather for it! Best of luck with Kilimanjaro, which route are you taking? Yeah, the permit was organised through a third party, several months in advance. We were so fortunate to have had that organised for us otherwise we wouldn’t have known where to start! Aww thanks a million, appreciate that! We’re expecting a baby in a couple of months so every penny counts 😉🤣
I wanted to see you make mention of your partner when you were at the summit and then meeting him for the reaction directly when you returned to camp. He must have been crushed about not being able to go, and then so proud of you.
Absolutely beautiful. A real tear-jerker. Well done Tania! Adam too, for listening to your body, that also takes courage. SO good to see you write about the porters and their fair treatment, I hope this inspires people to choose a fairer company like this too. I can't believe this video has only got 17K views, I'm amazed by the quality of your films, every time. Thanks for sharing.
Wow, that was amazing, spectacularly captured on film and beautifully narrated. What a trek and how thrilled you must have felt at reaching the summit, poor Adam will have been gutted but made the right decision and trusted you to get the job done, which you did, enormous well done! What a fun bunch of porters and so good to know they are well looked after by their employers, Summits Africa. Having your own tent, all set up en route, must have felt like a palace after a day’s pole pole trekking.
I've been very near the mountain. I have a great photo if a bull elephant with the mountain in the background. To see you young people struggle ,I'm glad I didn't try to climb the mountain. Excellent film
Poor Adam. "I'll do it for Adam" is such a cliche but it was meant well. I would have felt a little patronised by that. Wonderfully put together film. Exceptional. Should have interviewed Adam later to show he was OK and not feeling too bad. I'm still gutted for him. He seems such a lovely bloke.
So amazing. So inspirational. If you keep taking steps slowly one foot in front of another you will reach your goal no matter what, you just have to go at your own pace and know you can’t do it without the help of others.
What a fantastic film . I,m looking to do this in 2025 and this gave me a proper insight into the highs and lows. Thank you and well done. Does Adam feel now it was the right thing to do or maybe could have pushed on given his guide believed in him. I,m asking more out of concern in case I,m in that position.
Hi ya Tania and Adam , the awesome team, what an awesome video. I was lucky to get a cold shower when I lived in a tent.l could have watched for hours, thank you so much for sharing. Look forward to your videos. Hope Adam is ok,take care and stay safe cheers from Australia 🇦🇺☕️❤️
Hey Barry! Great to see you here as always. ☺ Yup, having a hot shower towards the end of the trek to soothe our aching muscles felt like an absolute TREAT. We felt TRANSFORMED and slept extra well that night 😴 Big hugs from us two xx T
Wow! WELL DONE, both of you. That was incredible, and we could truly feel all the emotions as you shared your journey, and was definitely emotional to watch, on so many levels. Thank you for sharing your beautiful adventure
Delighted it made you feel this way, Kathleen! It's one thing being able to experience this for ourselves but the fact that we are able to share in our memories with you and the rest of our community, well now that's just the cherry on top 🥹 Thank you for being here 💛 Tania
Another epic video ❤🤘😎 Well done Tania for making it to the top 🎉 Sorry to see you couldn't join Tania but Adam you made the right decision to stay put and let your body rest. Excited for your next adventure guys, once you've recovered from this one 😁
Thank you very much for the kind words, Angela! 💛 I'm so proud of Adam - it's so important to respect the mountain and our bodies. Our health and safety should never be taken for granted xx Tania
Hi! What a wonderful experience. I loved your video and I booked a tour and I’m going to Kilimanjaro next January. How did u prepare this trekking? Thx
Oh god, I'm bawling 😭. You both must be so proud of yourselves, Tania for making it to the top and Adam for knowing when to listen to his nody and rest. Amazing video again x
So happy to see the new video! Any idea when you will be back in Jits? Missing her in your content, although your three musketeers certainly make up for it 🐶🐾 xxx
Hey!! Thanks for watching 🥰 Oh yes, we are excited to be reunited with Jits at the end of July when we return to the UK. Really hoping she will be in a good state when we return and that we didn't forget to throw away a banana skin somewhere... 😅 xx Tania
Your story telling is always such a huge inspiration, especially your intros!!!! Well done to the both of you for getting as far as you did, and especially Tania for summiting! I struggle to get up Yr Wydda at times 😆
Thanks so much, Jimmy! That's very kind of you to say 🥹 I certainly felt anxious having to take on the summit alone that night, as well as having to think about capturing how I felt so we could round of the film and tell the full story. It's hard to feel motivated to film when holding the camera freezes fingers...so I'm glad it all worked out in the end 💛 xx Tania
I can't express my feeling when you summitted mount Kili. I'M dreaming on this mountain so bad and at the same time I keep asking myself if I can really make it to the top? Thanks for this video.. And your right this mountain is no joke.
Hi! Sure, we had a drone license approved by the National Park which allowed us to fly. It took several months to organise (lots of paperwork) and it’s worth noting that it requires that someone from the military accompany the drone pilot. Hope this helps and you enjoyed the film ☺️ Tania
Sad for Adam but Kazanzuri to you! We summited 2 weeks ago and share your experience (including one of our own having to go down back due to altitude sickness), elation and achievement in hiking up this spectacular force of nature

What an amazing film! I went into tears when Adam started feeling unwell. I cried so much because I imagine how devastated he must have been to not be able to continue, but I’m glad he listened to his body and didn’t push his limits even further. Tania, I applaud and celebrate you for continuing for the both of you. And I cried for the second time when you made it. Congratulations, guys. Not only for this film, but for all of your films full of heart. We follow other travel creators, but you are the only ones we watch as soon as a new film comes out, and always feel like the 30 or so minutes went by “too quickly”. Thank you so much for bringing so much passion, beauty and adventure into our lives. Big hugs from Amanda & Emanuel in Toronto, Canada. ❤
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us such a beautiful and thoughtful message, Amanda!! It’s made me well up 🥹 and this sort of feedback is the motivation we use to keep us sharing here. We’re so fortunate to have you in our community 💛 xx Tania
I have watched a lot of these videos as I plan my own trip to Africa and I must tell you this is the best one yet. Thank you so much for sharing your adventure with us all.
What a beautiful film. The things that you two achieve is a total inspiration. The maturity of decision from Adam to stop when he had already come so far is just incredible. You are both such impressive people!
Wow! An absolutely beautiful & inspiring film… I’m sorry that Adam couldn’t complete the climb, but I must say I was crying with you Tania as you approached the summit. I felt your heart when you told Adam, “I’m going to do it for both of us”. You 2 have such a special bond and it’s such a privilege to come along on your journeys together. Thank you both and thanks to your amazing African guides- they ROCK! 👍🏾
I can’t believe Tania went on her own. Amazing. I don’t think I could have done that. So gutsy.
I definitely felt scared and doubted my abilities. Before settling off I wondered if I would suddenly get sick and be unable to continue. Luckily the one day that I did not feel any negative effects due to the altitude and low oxygen, was on the summit day. The human body is incredible... after all the headaches I had suffered, finally, I had acclamatised! 🙌 Thank you for watching, Louise. 💛 Tania
O...M..G!!!...you two never cease to amaze me. I cannot belive you dont have a million or more followers!!!!!. Adam...it takes a person who has the integrity to quit when you did. Do NOT feel bad!. It rakes great courage to go as far as you did!. Not many people have gone as far as you did. Your video taping is always amazing and congratulations on knowing your own strength and weaknesses. Tania... what do we say about someone who is the whole package? She is SO warm friendly and her face just illuminates every emotion. I cried for Adam and I cried all the way to the top with Tania. Not only did she have the courage to go on for Adam and of course herself...but she actually finished for all if us as well! Congratulations to you Tania...and thanks again Tania and adam for another superb video. Love and God bless you both from Canada... hugs and please stay safe for I would truly miss you... Cheryl
Oh dear Adam my heart was breaking for you. I’m so sorry you couldn’t make it but I’m so glad you listened to your body. Very sensible ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Tania I’m so proud of you beautiful lady ❤️❤️❤️❤️ you are so strong and brave. Well done you are so impressive ❤️❤️❤️ you had me in tears. Thos beautiful guides helped you so much. What beautiful people xxxx
I finally found the quiet time I felt I needed to watch this one. What a gem. I really feel sorry for Adam not being able to make the summit but admire his intelligence to know this was not to be. Congrats to you both. And as always, well made docu, kids.
Aww, John!! Great to see you here, as always! This will certainly go down as a very special adventure for us, I'm delighted to hear you enjoyed it. Thanks for the continued support 💛 Tania
While they are all exceptional, this showcase filled with such heartfelt emotion, perseverance, beautiful souls and scenery, overflows with sensation and peaks them all. I cried with and for you. Tania, Adam, and hosts, you are radiant, insightful, inspirational gifts. 🏔🇹🇿✨️🤗
Thank you for the beautiful words of appreciation, River!! It means the world to hear that our film made you share in the feelings that we had on the mountain. We feel grateful to have you in our community 💛 xx Tania
I literally cried in the end watching this. Respect to everyone who helped you achieve this. Feel sad for Adam. One day I'll be there on the top hopefully, Kili ✨❤
Amazing film guys! So gutted for Adam but glad he made a full recovery. Summit Africa seems like such an awesome bunch. And so good to see they treat their porters fairly no matter what gender. What a truly inspiring film. Love it ❤
Hey Andy! Great to see you here, as always! Yeah, Summits Africa really does stand out as a wonderful company. They also provide mountain guide training for any porters who wish to upskill themselves. Like Eveta, she started as a porter and now is an assistant guide, soon to be a lead guide! She told me this job helps support her family and her sister's children too! 💛She is so proud and so she should be, she is a wonderful person. We bonded lots on this trip, mostly off-camera ☺ xx Tania
@@JitsIntoTheSunset Love stories like that. It makes what was an amazing adventure to start with into something that will stay with you forever. People are amazing ☺️
Amazing. So inspiring! Another fantastic film. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us!
What an incredible film! I cried many times throughout. I really appreciated you sharing the details about how they monitor your health, and what the aim of each day is and why. What a fantastic team of people.
Thoroughly loved this video, thanks for filming and sharing it! 😊
Yay! It’s our pleasure to have you be a part of this shared experience ❤ Thanks for being here, Kevin 🌟 Tania
Incredible film! I am heartbroken for Adam that he did not get to summit, but altitude sickness is no joke and he was wise to listen to the message his body was giving him. I cried tears of joy and exhilaration with you, Tania as you walked those last steps seeing the sign at the summit. Absolutely epic experience for both of you. Thank you for taking us along on the journey and, as always, for so beautifully capturing and celebrating the men and women who were your support team. Bravo!
Thank you so much for this heartfelt message, Simone! It truly means the world to us that we were able to make you feel like you were right there alongside us, feeling the emotions we felt. We are so grateful to be able to share the magic of Kilimanjaro with you in this way 💛 Tania
Many years ago I climbed Mount Kinabalu in Borneo. I'm not comparing them, that was a 2 day hike and 2000m shorter, but we did get up before dawn to see the sunrise from above the clouds. This video brought back a lot of great memories of that whole trip.
Congratulations on getting to the top. Great team, great video.
Oh wow, I bet that was absolutely stunning! We would love to explore Borneo someday - we will check out this hike!! Thank you for taking the time to watch and for your kind words 💛 Tania
Beautiful! Congratulations to Tania for achieving the summit & to Adam for listening to his body.
What an amazing group of guides, porters, chefs and support workers. Thank you for acknowledging that many companies leading similar expeditions are not ethical in the way they treat their staff.
Thank you for the kind words, Ghislaine! It’s a pleasure to have been able to share in this experience with you in this way ❤ And yes, we were so shocked and disappointed to learn from the A-team themselves on how others on the mountain are treated. How other companies provide flimsy tents that leak for their team and only feed them once a day after a long days work (whereas Summits Africa feed them 3 times a day). Hopefully things will change on the mountain for the better ❤ xx Tania
One of my favorite channels. Love you two!
Thanks so much, Debra! That means a lot to hear 🥰 xx Tania
wow what messages are conveyed in your brillant film 🙏🏻
i am so glad that Adam chose self respect and care for his body his well-being … the mountain gave it’s grace of clarity 🏔️
I'm delighted that our experience and message resonated with you, Michelle! Thanks so much for taking the time to watch. 💛I agree, I'm very proud of Adam for putting his health first. xx Tania
Another amazing video! Well done both! So proud of you Tania for pushing through, and proud of Adam for listening to his body 💪
Thanks so much Toners!! So lovely for you to keep up with our films - hope you're doing great!! 🥰xx Tania
Congratulations to the both of you. Kili is a beauty that truly humbles you and teaches you the truth about your journey of life and that it was never about getting to the top but about the journey itself and mostly about the transcendental inner experience of being at one with your own soul. Ive been waiting for this trip of your, knowing you will love but nothing can explain what true altitude feels like, there are no words and it truly does push you so far outside your comfort zone. Be warned, my whole life changed, forever after my Kili trek, I finally found myself on a true spiritual path, I thought I already was but nothing has prepared me for the awakening after Kili. 10 years later and I’m a whole new version of myself, authentic…best thing I ever did. Super proud of you both, only people that have felt her energy can truly understand her power of transformation, no matter how high to got to, she still transforms you, well done. Enjoy the ride from here on IN ❤
Thank you so much for sharing about your transformative experience on Mt Kilimanjaro, Helen. ❤ I’m glad to hear the mountain had this lasting impact on you too and only hope your words will inspire others to take this challenge on themselves some day if they are able 🙌 Thank you for taking the time to watch and be here with us xx Tania
That was such an amazing film, loved every second. The quality of cinematography, the story telling, and the adventure is such a powerful mix. You've absolutely nailed it. love you guys x
Aww Ed!! It means a lot to us that you took the time to watch. Really appreciate you 💛 Looking forward to hanging out when we're back in the UK this summer🥰 Tania
Hi Tania and Adam…..wow, wow, wow…….you deliver yet another stunning video for us all to be part of and I have to say that you brought a tear to my eye when you set off on your own to the summit Tania….I can only imagine the emotions you both felt at that time! What a fabulous group of people you were fortunate enough to climb with and so good to read at the end that they are well looked after also by the company they work for. Goodness knows how you will better this video and experience, but I shall be here to watch! Best wishes Julie 😊
What a beautiful message to receive. Thank you so much, Julie! The fact that you always take the time to leave us such thoughtful words under our films does not go unnoticed and is deeply appreciated by us ❤ Thank you for being here! Xx Tania
Hi guys, this had me and my family in tears. Firstly, I want to say what a beautiful film about your Kili journey. I deeply resonated with you Tania, as I too reached the summit in early September last year and was 1 of 2 (the only female) out of our family group of 8 to make it. I truly felt what you were feeling the entire climb, but especially on summit and watching this took me straight back to that moment and to all of the intense and overwhelming emotions I was experiencing. You and Adam should be so very proud of yourselves for all of your perseverance and integrity throughout the climb ✨
Secondly, I wanted to share that we climbed Kili in honour of my late grandad who first made the summit when he was just 17 and failed to do so again when he was 71. While watching, I had to pause in shock because I believe the bracelet with his ashes is still attached to the wire on the Stella Point sign. His final wish was to be returned to Africa and after that summit sunrise, I didn’t expect to ever see it again. Thank you for sharing your incredible experience!
🏔️🇹🇿🤍
Why was i crying, too? 😢 Thank you for sharing your amazing journey.
Unbelievable video. May be my favourite one yet? My heart broke for Adam and then I was absolutely bawling when you reached the top Tania. Well done to you both an amazing achievement.
Aww, thank you, sweet Lisa!! This is certainly one of my favourite films too - I think that without it, I might have ended up forgetting the details of each day and our fluctuating emotions. 💛 Thank you for your support xx Tania
That was so well shot and edited, beautifully done. Thoroughly enjoyed watching that. Respect to both of you, and to the team of porters, who all seem like total legends 🙏
❤❤❤Love...Love...Love this video. I am planning Killi for my 50th Birthday next year and this has made it seem possible to achieve❤❤❤
Hey Tracie! I'm so pleased to hear this and YES absolutely.... you can do this!! Just remember to go Pole Pole, listen to your body and you'll make it!! What a brilliant way to celebrate 50 years of existence!! 🙌🎉 xx Tania
I summited at age 51. And not in the world's best shape (unless you count round as a shape). It is totally doable. If I can recommend 2 things: DIAMOX and ATTITUDE OVER ALTITUDE.
HAKUNA MATATA! Just keep your pace POLE POLE from the beginning, try to eat and drink every time the porters are serving something.
I did UHURU PEAK thirty years ago, have to addmit ,with lots of headache pain killers.
At that time the whole top was covered with snow and ice. Nowadays you walk on a dry growel. I just wish you good luck on your effort!
One notice: Discussion with your friends/girlfriend/ before the final ascent because everybody cannot do it. Are you sorry/happy if I go. CAN I GO?
Another great film!! Love you guys!!! Thank you and congratulations Tania and Adam!!
Wow! Just Wow! Thank you for a beautiful episode. So sorry that Adam couldn’t make it but glad to hear he fully recovered. Congratulations Tania on reaching the Summit, an incredible achievement. Not forgetting the awesome team that were with you every step of the way🙌
Yay!! I’m so pleased you enjoyed being here with us, Dale! ❤ Appreciate your continued support of our films and how you always take the time to write to us. THANK YOU! Xx Tania
Fantastic film and what an incredible accomplishment for you both! I'm so glad you listened to your body Adam, I think that was incredibly wise. Perhaps your headaches were actually gradually preparing you Tania! Our bodies are absolutely incredible, what they are capable of, but we are all so different. Personally, I would be perfectly happy just to go up as far as the foliage goes, pole pole, appreciating the flora and fauna.
The Summit Africa people seem amazing, so vivacious and supportive!
Thank you so much for taking us with you, giving a beautiful glimpse into an experience many of us will never know and inspiring others 🙏💛
It’s always such a pleasure to see you here in the comments, Nyree!! Thank you once again for your incredibly kind and thoughtful words 🥹 Yup, the human body is incredibly. To think that the one day that I suffered no headaches or other altitude sickness, was the most important day for me, summit day! All this time that’s exactly what my body had been doing, acclimatising to the low oxygen levels. Finally I woke up at midnight that final day and I felt well rested and full of energy. Wow! I feel so grateful for that 🙏🏼 and proud of Adam for respecting his body and the mountain. Our health and safety should always be the priority ❤ xx Tania
Great video guys. Brought back great memories of my trip to the summit of Kilimanjaro. Like you, I was quite emotional at the summit. Never thought that I could do something like that. As you said, it takes many people to help you reach you goal, either on a mountain or in life. Recognize all and cherish them. Kudos to Adam for having the courage and good sense to listen to his body and stop when he did. There is always another time to try again. Best of luck on your next adventure!
Thanks a million for your kind words, Philip! It means a lot to hear that our film resonated with you and brought you back 💛 Curious to know which route you took and a stand out moment was for you? Xx Tania
What an amazing achievement and loved the film. The team looking after you were truly awesome - carrying all that gear up the mountain too. Truly wonderful experience for you both. The film was like we were with you ❤
Thank you so much, Lesley!! I'm still pinching myself - it's hard to believe that we actually did it. I'm super grateful to have this film to look back on in the years to come so I can relive the whole experience and our emotions throughout 💛 xx Tania
I glad to see in the comments I was not the only one in tears . What adventure! Amazing !
Guys..I couldn't click quick enough.. WOW.. so emotional... I smiled and cried all through the vlog. A fantastic experience, AMAZING company! Thanks Summit Africa for taking our favourite you tubers on such an incredible experience and looking after them so well 👏🫶😊. Congratulations Tanya on reaching the summit 🥰.. I felt your joy and pain at climbing without Adam. Adam you are a star! Well don't for climbing higher than "base camp on Everest", facing the wall and recognising that your life/ health are more important that climbing that last part to the summit👍🫠.
Your videography and story telling for this trip was INCREDIBLE as always. You both did "Summit Africa" proud! Thank you for sharing 🙏.
Hey Rebecca!! It's alwasy such a pleasure to see you here in the comments - thank you for always supporting us with such kind words!! 🥹 I'm delighted to hear you enjoyed coming along with us on this trek. 🙌 We have once last film to come from our Tanzania series which I think you'll really appreciate, so stay tuned for that! Lots of love, Tania xx
@@JitsIntoTheSunset Hi Tania.. can't wait for your next installment. LOL Rebecca x
We cried, at times, watching this one. Its was fabulous, the story telling was spot on, as it gave such raw emotion, well done to you both ❤
What an amazing film. To reach that summit Tania must have felt exhilarating. Adam you did the right thing listening to your body. Congratulations to you both 😊
Thank you so much lovely, really appreciate that! I don't think either of us will ever forget this trek and are both still feeling super proud (and kind of in disbelief) that we did it! xx Tania
Jambo! Wow, thank you for this incredible video! Our Friends of Friends hiking group went in Jan 2024. Eveta was one of our asst. guides - she and the amazing A-Team truly made the experience magical. Like Adam, we had two of our nine that were unable to summit. Thank you for allowing me to relive this journey with you and share in your tears as you summited.
Oh my goodness, this is so wonderful to hear! Eveta is truly a special person... her physical strength and mental endurance are an inspiration to me personally. 💛 Thank you for taking the time to watch and for the kind words. xx Tania
Awesome Video!! Such great cinematography as always. Truly inspiring for all who watch. So sorry that Adam couldn't make the whole journey, but you have to listen to your body and heed your warnings!!
Hey Brad! Great to see you again here in the comments - thanks so much for taking the time to tune in and for the kind words. They mean a lot 💛Yes, I am so proud of Adam for being responsible and prioritising his health. I think we can all easily get carried away when a goal is so close that you feel like you should push yourself but doing that on a mountain like Kilimanjaro could have serious consequences. Thanks again for your support xx Tania
What a joy to see your adventure this morning. Your content is always the Best! Thank you for doing this climb. I have always been fascinated with Kilimanjaro. I loved my experience and sunrise on Mt. Fuji. I feel content to be with you in spirit, while I drink my cup of coffee 🙏
Yay! Thanks so much for taking the time to tune in - lovely to see you back here in the comments ☺Oh wow, I bet Mt. Fuji was something special, we would love to experience that someday. 🙌 Thanks again for your support xx Tania
Another incredible film!! And if we ever go to Mt Kilimanjaro, we'll know who to go-with! 😊 Amazing trek, both of you!! Beautiful footage, beautiful moments, people... simply breathtaking. ❤
Yay!! So glad you enjoyed this adventure… between this and Safari, Tanzania blew our socks off 🧦 💨 😅 xx Tania
Such a wonderful travel film! Climbing Kilimanjaro hasn't been on my bucket list for very long but after seeing this it feels like one of those things I have to do :)
So enjoyed this film. I've been to Everest Base Camp & Macchu Picchu and know first hand what altitude sickness feels like. Adam made the right call , it's just not worth the risk. The Summit Africa team really stand out as exceptional people, memories for a lifetime. Huge well done!
Very beautiful film. I appreciate two things (above all the wonder you present) and that is the focus on the help it takes to do something awesome and the appreciation of that help, and the freedom and ability to say...this is enough, no farther...when you have a set goal. It takes strength to do that because we are taught that we HAVE to finish things. But knowing your limits, whether those are physical or emotional, is even more important than that end goal. Adam shows us in this film that it's ok, and actually necessary, to let that goal go and take care of himself. We love that. Thank you again for sharing your adventures!
One of my favourite messages we have received… thank you so so much for your kind words. I appreciate your appreciation, truly. ❤ Thank you for being here and continuing to support our channel. I enjoy seeing your name pop up in the comments of our films xx Tania
This. Was. DELIGHTFUL. Thank you guys so much for allowing us to live vicariously through YOU. 🙏🏾🖤👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
It is our pleasure to be able to bring you along with us - thank you so much for taking the time to watch!! 💛xx Tania
Will watch when I get home. Looking forward to it. Your vids always make my day. All the best, you two! 🙏🏼😎
Yay!! This is one of my personal favourite films of ours ❤ I really hope you enjoy it as much as me, Jens! ✨ xx Tania
@@JitsIntoTheSunset I'm sure I will, Tania. Give Adam a hug from me! 😉
By the way, I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned this yet, but Sammy (my wife) is now Irish too. Since Brexit is a gift that keeps on taking and she has an Irish grandmother, we decided to apply for Irish nationality for her, which was approved last year. So, you two are fellow countrywomen now! 😘
What a superb doc! Congratulations on reaching the peak, Tania and also well done Adam on listening to your body and not giving into “summit fever”
I’m going to Kilimanjaro in August this year on the same route so this has really helped me understand what to expect (and look forward to)… thank you!!
Your films always make time disappear 😅 how was that 30mins!
Really beautiful to watch. My heart went out to both of you, for Adam making the call to stop and look after himself and to Tania going forward, knowing Adam was there lovingly awaiting your return.
So grateful you sourced a reputable company who look after their crew ❤ another wonderful story to the collection
Well done team 🥰
What an amazing film. Thank you so much ! Tania you rock….❤ so sorry Adam got altitude sick but it’s probably best he stopped when he did. Still he almost made it.
Didn’t he take the altitude pils?
We are going the beginning of October! Thank you for the video!
@@berenicegarcia7988 Yes he took the altitude pills but that doesn’t guarantee that they will work since everyone’s body reacts differently. ☹️ Best of luck on your Kilimanjaro adventure! Which route will you take? Tania
I love this... it made me both happy and sad. 😊😢 Thank you so much for sharing!!! 🧡🧡🧡🤗🤗🤗
Always a pleasure to see you here in the comments, Annie! Thank you so much for joining us on this trek - I'm glad to hear it resonated with you like this 💛 xx Tania
@@JitsIntoTheSunset I just love you two... you are such a sweet couple!!! 💖💖💖
Thank you for sharing your adventures. Congratulations Tania on achieving an amazing goal. I hope Adam healed completely from his sickness. Be happy and stay safe.👍👍👍
Thanks a million, Marie!! Really appreciate you taking the time to watch and for the kind words. It's amazing how good Adam felt once we had descended back into the forest. It's incredible the effects the lack of oxygen can have on your body 🥰 xx Tania
Awesome Tania and Adam … and congrats to you both🎉 … Adam you were close enough and listening to your body is key … so applaud there for trusting you’re intuition and not you’re ego 👏🏼🙏💙
Well done Tania … great accomplishment … you finished the last bit for both of you 🙏❤️👏🏼
A great vlog… so well filmed as usual… thank you for sharing and taking us with you😎
Thank you very much for the kind words, Jo!! Still pinching ourselves in disbelief that we did this… feeling mega accomplished and can’t wait to take on more stunning treks like this around the world ❤ Appreciate you being here and supporting our channel 🥰 xx Tania
@@JitsIntoTheSunset aww you’re welcome! You are living life and experiencing much … and mindfully 🙏 look forward to the next ‘journey’ however big or small .. but always interesting and fun. ♥️
Definitely your most amazing video - so beautifully filmed and narrated. Very proud of you both for your achievement on Kilimanjaro but so sad that Adam didn't summit. Tania, you are a legend!
Like many others in the comments, I was in tears during parts of this video!!! And a huge shout out to the guides and porters who helped you on this epic trek. African hospitality at it's best.
Aww, Dianne, I'm so glad that you feel this way! Climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro was so much more than about the trek itself, it was about the people and all of us being a team and it was also an opportunity to learn about ourselves. Going Pole Pole for so long gave us a lot of thinking time which was incredibly valuable to us 💛 Thank you for taking the time to watch and for your continued support xx Tania
@@JitsIntoTheSunset ❤
We climbed this amazing mountain on 8 Day Lemosho Route in February 2024! What an amazing experience.
Thank you for taking us on your epic journey
It's our pleasure to have you here, Gerard! I'm glad you enjoyed it 💛xx Tania
Great video. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much for taking the time to watch - glad you enjoyed it! 💛 Tania
Hey guys I really enjoyed watching this episode. Adam you definitely made the right decision to stop, you listened to your body wisely. We could see it was a very emotional time for you Tania. But you did it for the both of you. Wonderful. God bless 👍🐸
Always lovely to see you here in the comments! Thank you very much for your kind words and support. Still in a state of disbelief that we actually did this... thank goodness for our film so I can forever relive the emotions that Kilimanjaro brought 💛 xx Tania
Best summit celebration I have seen yet!
What an amazing adventure , surrounded by an amazing team of people. Your conclusion came from the heart and could not be more perceptive. You do deserve a bit of a rest after that huge undertaking, that’ for sure.❤
Hey hey!! Great to see you back here in the comments - I'm so pleased that our words have resonated with you. They did truly come from the heart. We feel so privileged to have had this experience and even more so to be able to share it here with you and the rest of our wonderful community 💛 xx Tania
Such a beautiful film ❤️ inspiring and exhilarating from Australia!
Thank you for taking the time to tune in all the way from down under... we hope to explore Australia someday!! An epic road trip in your beautiful country awaits... 💛
Thanks for sharing this amazing experience, we feel so sorry for Adam but very happy for Tania. Kilimanjaro is not to be underestimated in anyway and you have to listen to your body and make the right decision for your own health. Watching your video made me quite emotional as I did Kilimanjaro with three friends 19 years ago, it’s definitely the hardest thing that I’ve ever done.
Hey Kevin! I’m delighted to hear that our film was able to bring back memories of your own Kilimanjaro experience. It just goes to show that a trek like this has a lasting impact ❤ Curious to know which route you took? Thank you for taking the time to watch, we appreciate you being here 🙌 xx Tania
@@JitsIntoTheSunset we had a bespoke itinerary over 8 days. We started on the lesser used Chambers route with options for camps each day depending on health and fitness of our small group.We did do the Barranco Wall as you did. It’s one of the best experiences of my life. Thanks for the memories xx
Wow🥹🥹😭❤🤌🏽that was beautiful!!! It is my dream (objective/goal) to hike and summit Mount Kili!! Ya'll were such an inspiration. So heartfelt! I just need to get the money to get there! And i will! By the heavens, God, my Ancestors and the power vested in me!
Fabulous to watch this very touching
WOW exciting film, you were really good, I felt sorry for Adam, he was so close! Greetings from the Dolomites...ciao ciao
Amazing, that bought tears to my eyes, amazing team, amazing film. Well done all. And I love the concept of pole pole❤
Thank you, thank youuuuu! Delighted to hear you enjoyed it and that you appreciate the concept of Pole Pole too 💛 Tania
Well worth the wait for this one. Absolutely brilliant cinematography. As I remarked at the time commiserations to Adam but he knew and did the right thing and not putting his self at further risk. Congratulations Tania on your achievement. The emotion at the summit was clear to all. Well done.
Hey Ian! Always such a pleasure to see you here in the comments 🥰 Thanks so much for the kind words - still feels a bit surreal that we actually did this. Makes me appreciate the fact that we took the time to capture this experience on film so we can always look back and remember the detail. The landscapes, people but also the rollercoaster of emotions! 😅 Thanks so much for your continued support 💛 Tania
Amazing - thank you so much for sharing and For Tania’s wise words ❤
I'm delighted to hear you enjoyed it! Thank YOU for taking the time to watch and for supporting our channel 💛xx Tania
Another great video well done, you are amazing, sorry Adam was too sick to make the summit, but it was the right decision 😊
Thanks a million, Christine! It's our pleasure to be able to have you join us on this adventure and share in these memories. We appreciate you taking the time to watch💛 Tania
Great film well done - Just a question how did you get away with using a drone ?
@@KevinAugelloNewEarthFilms Hey Kevin! Glad you enjoyed it, thank you for watching. ☺️ We made sure we had a permit to fly the drone. For this, we needed to have a military escort with us, which we did. Otherwise flying without a permit on Kilimanjaro is a huge risk. Hope this helps. 😊 Tania
@@JitsIntoTheSunset Yep absolutely, I thought you must’ve had a permit which I know is a logistical pain in the butt.
I just came back from Everest Base Camp and there there is a huge risk due to the amount of light aircraft and helicopters… am off to Kilimanjaro myself next week !
PS - watched every commercial to its end I hope you got a couple of cents extra
@@KevinAugelloNewEarthFilms Oh wow!! EBC must have been awesome - hope you had great weather for it! Best of luck with Kilimanjaro, which route are you taking?
Yeah, the permit was organised through a third party, several months in advance. We were so fortunate to have had that organised for us otherwise we wouldn’t have known where to start!
Aww thanks a million, appreciate that! We’re expecting a baby in a couple of months so every penny counts 😉🤣
I wanted to see you make mention of your partner when you were at the summit and then meeting him for the reaction directly when you returned to camp. He must have been crushed about not being able to go, and then so proud of you.
Great movie. We also just went up there, taking the same route as you did. Incredible experience!!
Nice ascent and great doc. I cannot prevent myself from thinking isn't the logistics a bit too much? How did you feel?
That was a beautiful film! Congrats!
Absolutely beautiful. A real tear-jerker. Well done Tania! Adam too, for listening to your body, that also takes courage. SO good to see you write about the porters and their fair treatment, I hope this inspires people to choose a fairer company like this too.
I can't believe this video has only got 17K views, I'm amazed by the quality of your films, every time. Thanks for sharing.
Love your video. I hope you can come to Mount Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia❤
Thank you so much for this suggestion! Malaysia is on our bucket list for sure! 🙌 xx Tania
@JitsIntoTheSunset awesome... I'm happy to hear from you
Wow what an achievement. Girl power !
Thanks so much, Mark! Really appreciate that... I still can't quite believe I did it! 🥹🎉 xx Tania
This is so beautiful
Wow, that was amazing, spectacularly captured on film and beautifully narrated. What a trek and how thrilled you must have felt at reaching the summit, poor Adam will have been gutted but made the right decision and trusted you to get the job done, which you did, enormous well done! What a fun bunch of porters and so good to know they are well looked after by their employers, Summits Africa. Having your own tent, all set up en route, must have felt like a palace after a day’s pole pole trekking.
I've been very near the mountain. I have a great photo if a bull elephant with the mountain in the background.
To see you young people struggle ,I'm glad I didn't try to climb the mountain.
Excellent film
Love the adventure to mt. Kilimanjaro, get well soon Adam
Thanks a million, Charlene! Appreciate you taking the time to tune into this film 💛 Tania
Poor Adam.
"I'll do it for Adam" is such a cliche but it was meant well.
I would have felt a little patronised by that.
Wonderfully put together film. Exceptional.
Should have interviewed Adam later to show he was OK and not feeling too bad.
I'm still gutted for him. He seems such a lovely bloke.
So amazing. So inspirational. If you keep taking steps slowly one foot in front of another you will reach your goal no matter what, you just have to go at your own pace and know you can’t do it without the help of others.
Spectacular & congrats … do it for the two of us … wonderful love observed for one another 🇨🇦 ❤
Thank you so much, Yvonne! Adam and I tell each other every day how lucky we are to have found one another to do life together 💛 xx Tania
y’all are my FAVOURITE PEOPLE 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Aww thank you, thank you!! Always appreciate your love and support! 💛
What a fantastic film . I,m looking to do this in 2025 and this gave me a proper insight into the highs and lows. Thank you and well done. Does Adam feel now it was the right thing to do or maybe could have pushed on given his guide believed in him. I,m asking more out of concern in case I,m in that position.
Hi ya Tania and Adam , the awesome team, what an awesome video. I was lucky to get a cold shower when I lived in a tent.l could have watched for hours, thank you so much for sharing. Look forward to your videos. Hope Adam is ok,take care and stay safe cheers from Australia 🇦🇺☕️❤️
Hey Barry! Great to see you here as always. ☺ Yup, having a hot shower towards the end of the trek to soothe our aching muscles felt like an absolute TREAT. We felt TRANSFORMED and slept extra well that night 😴 Big hugs from us two xx T
Absolutely enthralling.
Wow! WELL DONE, both of you. That was incredible, and we could truly feel all the emotions as you shared your journey, and was definitely emotional to watch, on so many levels. Thank you for sharing your beautiful adventure
Delighted it made you feel this way, Kathleen! It's one thing being able to experience this for ourselves but the fact that we are able to share in our memories with you and the rest of our community, well now that's just the cherry on top 🥹 Thank you for being here 💛 Tania
Another great video guys. Keep on inspiring ❤
Another epic video ❤🤘😎 Well done Tania for making it to the top 🎉 Sorry to see you couldn't join Tania but Adam you made the right decision to stay put and let your body rest. Excited for your next adventure guys, once you've recovered from this one 😁
Thank you very much for the kind words, Angela! 💛 I'm so proud of Adam - it's so important to respect the mountain and our bodies. Our health and safety should never be taken for granted xx Tania
Hi! What a wonderful experience. I loved your video and I booked a tour and I’m going to Kilimanjaro next January. How did u prepare this trekking? Thx
Oh god, I'm bawling 😭. You both must be so proud of yourselves, Tania for making it to the top and Adam for knowing when to listen to his nody and rest. Amazing video again x
Aww thank you so much, Denise!! Still pinching ourselves that this happened 🥹 Really glad to have you join us 💛xx T
So happy to see the new video! Any idea when you will be back in Jits? Missing her in your content, although your three musketeers certainly make up for it 🐶🐾 xxx
Hey!! Thanks for watching 🥰 Oh yes, we are excited to be reunited with Jits at the end of July when we return to the UK. Really hoping she will be in a good state when we return and that we didn't forget to throw away a banana skin somewhere... 😅 xx Tania
Your story telling is always such a huge inspiration, especially your intros!!!! Well done to the both of you for getting as far as you did, and especially Tania for summiting! I struggle to get up Yr Wydda at times 😆
Thanks so much, Jimmy! That's very kind of you to say 🥹 I certainly felt anxious having to take on the summit alone that night, as well as having to think about capturing how I felt so we could round of the film and tell the full story. It's hard to feel motivated to film when holding the camera freezes fingers...so I'm glad it all worked out in the end 💛 xx Tania
I can't express my feeling when you summitted mount Kili. I'M dreaming on this mountain so bad and at the same time I keep asking myself if I can really make it to the top? Thanks for this video.. And your right this mountain is no joke.
Drone? In Kilimanjaro National Park? Explain please?
Hi! Sure, we had a drone license approved by the National Park which allowed us to fly. It took several months to organise (lots of paperwork) and it’s worth noting that it requires that someone from the military accompany the drone pilot. Hope this helps and you enjoyed the film ☺️ Tania
Great video guys, Kili is in my bucket list! 👏💯
Thanks a million, Frank! Hope you make it to Kili some day... the views won't disappoint! 🙌xx Tania
Sad for Adam but Kazanzuri to you! We summited 2 weeks ago and share your experience (including one of our own having to go down back due to altitude sickness), elation and achievement in hiking up this spectacular force of nature
Hi guys, great video. Which month did you climb it?
Did you take Diamox for the high altitude sickness?
Thanks
