I walked 800km across Tanzania to climb Kilimanjaro

- Aren't you afraid of hiking alone through rural Tanzania?
This is the question I got over and over again a month before departing. My goal was to summit Kilimanjaro from sea to sea.
Hiking from the Indian Ocean to climb Mount Kilimanjaro was probably one of the most challenging things I've ever done.
The heat, blisters and long distances wore me down even from before I got to the town of Moshi.
It took 12 days to even get to the start of Umbwe Gate, the start of the Umbwe route.
When I arrived I wasn't in any state to climb the highest freestanding mountain in the world, but this is exactly what I wanted when I set this goal - a next level challenge.
This crazy journey is the second of 7.
My end goal is to climb each continent's highest mountain (the 7 Summits) from sea level, and back to sea level.

That shot is unreal.. a floating summit
“Just get it done” made me chuckle! Incredible landscape, fantastic video.
You are insane 😂😂
as a tanzanian I love this, karibu tena Tanzania 🇹🇿🇹🇿🇹🇿
@@filamupictures9349 Asante sana 🙏🏻
Although this journey is mostly about those seven summits, I enjoy to see these mezmerizing countries through your eyes no less.
I love the no fancy bullsh1t approach of the things too. I wish you all the luck and strength for the upcoming peaks, and already can't wait for your next upload 😉
Carry on, Cris!
Thank you mate 🙏🏻
I can't remember when I first heard about this project, but it's turning out super fantastic. Well done mate.
Looking forward to part 2. Following from your insta the ascent wound up super chill and couldn't have gone much better!
What a journey! So cool to see this part of the world and through your eyes!
As a Tanzanian,You earned my respect.Man your adventureos I will have to story tell this to my friends,What you did is crazy hard work+ grit+courageous🎉 even locals won't dare let alone tourist/foreigners.Ahsante kwa kuitangaza Tanzania 🇹🇿 karibu tena.
@@Halphan-cw3de Thank you so much 🙏🏻
You're a legend mate, I love this adventure of yours. Hiking 40 km day after day in the African heat, that's actually insane. You're a huge inspiration to us regular guys who dream of the big mountains too. In a few days I'll try to hike to above 2000 meters for the first time, 20 km and 1000 meters of altitude. "It's not about being positive, it's about getting it done", I'll try to remember that haha
Thank you for the kind words mate. Enjoy the mission, it sounds great!
You are amazing and what a great storyteller! Following your challenges all the way and rooting you on from the small country of Lithuania 🎉
@@jcbonly Thank you 🙏🏻
humidity and traffic are absolutely crazy there! I use myself a mental trick about focus on every day thing rather than the whole picture. Anyways, you are incredible and I am waiting what's next to see how you smashing it!
Thank you Viktoria! 💪
Respects mate. Bragging rights earned!
Fratele you and your chanel deserve soo much,good luck !!!!!
@@rlserex8268 Mulțumesc 👏🏻
This is absolutely amazing!!! So Inspiring man, I have similar goals and dreams so you're really pushing me forward!
@@ΚωνσταντίνοςΚυριάκος Thank you and keep going for those goals 👊🏻
Really enjoy watching your adventures. To continue walking with that heat and those feet, massive achievement. Hope you succeed on your 2nd peak.
@@susanbucknall9296 Thank you 🙏🏻
Again a fantastic inspiring video. Curious for the next episode. Keep on living your dream! You'll never forget it! Thumbs up for Viv too! 👍
A lil’ tip about blisters...if you use a needle & thread to lance through & then leave the thread running through it & cover with a bit of surgical tape, it will fully drain & not seal-up & refill again. Once fully dry just pull out the thread.
I used to wear NB Heirro’s as my trail shoes along with Darn Tough socks, but having now switched to Topo Athletic & only wear Injinji socks, it’s been a game changer.

@@wishdarkstalkaz4050 Thank you for the tip!
Good luck! 😊
Another great video my friend , looking at you walking on those roads make me felt like walking by your side but then inside me thinking " este hombre esta completamente loco , a que horas sale algun animal salvaje ? , Your wife will know what I just said . Looking forward for your next video .
@@felipegodinez5298 Jajajajajajaja. Gracias Felipe!
Fascinating video, Cris. It must be sheer determination that keeps you going. I wouldn't have lasted beyond the first day in that heat. Looking forward to seeing the climb.
At the end of that first day, I was surprised I lasted too in all honesty 😂Thanks for watching and for your comment!
Still in awe you did this 👏
2nd part? :D pls c'mon with the cliffhanger!
@@EnricAdventures Coming out on Sunday 🙌🏻
Loving this series! What brand glacier glasses do you have?
@@Rory_Perkins Vallon Heron Glacier
Never remove a blister patch until you're home 🤣
😂😂😂
@@TraintoSummit 😁
Nice! Which one of the seven summits are you going to do next?
Fingers crossed - Puncak Jaya 🤞
Was not expecting the Cris karaoke 😂
What a journey! You have a nice way to tell your story even though it was tough. Your determination kept you going. Waiting to see the climb with Viviana 🫶🏻
Brilliant and inspiring film this is what RUclips was invented for Cris best wishes to you and viv
Simon 🤠👍🏔️
I'm so excited, but what's touch me is you two guys. I so wish I was so fortunate to find a partner that you two have done.
Madalin, you are a superhuge inspiration.
I really hope to meet you guys before I end my days.
As always, thanks so much for the kind words Rino 🙏
I hope we get to meet one day too!
And yes, I'm eternally grateful that I met Viv☺
Beautifully building to the big climb, suffering and enjoying the journey with you!
What an INCREDIBLE journey!!! Can't wait to see the next part of the trip! You and Viv are tough.
Beautiful storytelling from such an amazing place! Well done for getting through that horrendous heat!!
I enjoyed watching this!!! Well done chris
Great stuff!
Super. Felicitări!❤❤❤❤
Good stuff, look forward to the climb episodes.
Great watch! Have you heard of: walking/hiking wool? It’s anti pressure & anti inflammatory and works wonders for blisters. Way better than tape or band aids. Highly recommend.
Thanks for the video. Looking forward to the next part. Cheers!
I'll check it out!
Very nice
maybe i'm an idiot but that sure looks like a plantain and not a banana at 11:10
you know other languages don't differentiate between plantains and bananas, right?
You need to wear toe socks - they help tremendously with rubbing and sweaty toes. Also, try wider barefoot style shoes like Altra or Vivobarefoot. A foot conversation is a whole body conversation!
