Very much welcome, the mountain will be kind to you

Wow! 1974! Must have been extremely rewarding climbing at that time. I'm sure the mountain looked extremely different.. As you see, today, more than 100 people summit Kilimanjaro every day.

Hi Angie, thanks for popping up here and for watching the video.. Much appreciation and pleasure once again meeting you at Kilimanjaro... Feel welcome to East Africa again.. Best regards..

Thank you very much for the positive feedback...

Thanks for the positive feedback. For the safari you can dm on social media then I can make the arrangements..

Please do, you will have a memorable time..

Thank you..

The audios are available on TH-cam free Library for creators...

@@kiarieexploreske I havent found them sorry....do u edit on youtube?

@@monayolo17 Just search 'Free youtube music' or 'royalty free music'. Honestly that is where they are. I don't edit on TH-cam. I edit on PC then upload the complete final product

I went solo and then joined a random group. If you're in Mombasa or Diani you can ask your hotel and they will easily link you up. You can also dm me and I can arrange, ie if you are in Kenya already.

@@kiarieexploreske Okk thanku!

They are, and climbers are encouraged to also tip them as per their ability.

They provide you with some little warm water to wipe yourself off but you can get enough water for a complete shower at extra cost, as it needs to be carried all the way..

@@kiarieexploreske i saw rivers and lakes.. are climbers allowed to use that water?

@@the1kenyanetertainer yes it is allowed but the water has to be used at camp, so it is fetched and carried by the porters.

Thanks moran.. AfricanMoran to the world too!

It may cost anywhere between 1500 USD to 2500 USD depending on tour company you are using, number of days on the mountain and extra services you may need from the basic package..

Thank you @Nkatha for the positive feedback. Cheers to adventure and life..

Wow! 1989 is a long time ago! Congratulations. The huts are now on the Marangu (Cocacola) route, at the Whiskey route you just camp in tents. The mountain nowadays gets so many visitors, even on the Marangu route you still find people camping as the huts are usually full on most times. Snow and ice have reduced significantly over the years, the mountain has changed a lot... Thanks for taking the journey again on this video..

Glad to hear you had an amazing time at the mountain and congratulations too. Thank you for watching and for the positive feedback..

Was really nice climbing this giant with you brother... You never know how much you are capable of untill you test yourself..

2012 is quite some years ago. So much has probably changed over the years, if you can, pay the mountain a visit again. Thanks for your comment.

@@kiarieexploreske Yes, sure am planning to visit again, the experience is unforgettable.

You're so much welcome to the trails brother.. Thanks for the feedback...

Thank you ClimbKili.. Kilimanjaro is a beautiful mountain😊

Muchas gracias por los comentarios. Las montañas son un lugar bendito y una vez que empiezas a escalar, nunca paras. Por favor, ven algún día al este de África y escala nuestras montañas. muchas bendiciones

Thanks @missidominici7744.. That was new year's, crossing into 2022 from 2021..

Thank you for your comment, kindly share your email or send me a dm I share his contact.

Thanks Nancy. I did just 2 nights, one at Mackinders and one at Austrian, then went all the way down. Actually the route is not even that hard as assumed. But in my own opinion I'd say Met station- Mackinders is quite a distance which may be difficult for some people...

@@kiarieexploreske oh great, I can handle Met to Mackinders. How is the terrain from Mackinders to Austrian and Lenana? Was it as steep as the one from met station to Mackinders or more steeper? Am kinda into that route as I found it very scenic inspite of the vertical bogs lol! Am also wondering if sleeping at Austrian wouldn't heighten altitude sickness

Met to Mackinders is not very steep but quite a distance, Mackinders to Austrian is extremely steep, but Austrian to Lenana is a short easy climb.

Thank you Jason, if you haven't, please visit the place when you can. It will be worth it..

😆😆 even if they existed you won't be alone in the water...

The general term is snorkelling gear, referring to the goggles (or full face mask) and the snorkel itself. Hope that is helpful..

That is exactly what I said on the description, unless you didn't watch the whole video, thanks for your comment though..

De hecho, es increíble ver a los pequeños animales crecer hasta la madurez. Gracias por tu comentario.

Thanks

Depends on which route you are using. Most of the routes actually don't have huts, plus you can also use the route with huts but opt to camp.. You can be advised further when you decide to embark on the climb. Thanks for the question.

Ahsante for the feedback. 😀 you however need to learn how to swim if you want to enjoy the ocean.. 😉

Thanks. Probably one day in the future. I still got so much climbing to do before I get to the level of K2, but it is a dream..

@@kiarieexploreskeI’m sure the other continent’s second highet mountains are good places to start.(Ojos Del Salado,Mount Logan,Dykh-Tau,Mount Tyree,& Mandala Peak are good places to start.)

I actually want to first do the seven summits, then the second highest summits.. Have only done Kilimanjaro, so still a long way ahead, but I appreciate the challenge...

Kindly follow up on that inquiry via their website or contacts. They'll assist you..

@@kiarieexploreske oky thanks

Depends on how many days you spend on the mountain and which route, as well as the tour company you use, but usually between 30k to 40k Ksh...

😄 I agree..

Thank you. The message needs to be passed on..

Thank you, visit please when you can

Thank you for passing by, please visit when you can..

Depends on season but usually about 3 dollars for Kenyans and about 10 for foreigners..

Thank you sir..

It is Pete brother, the TV show... Pate is another island in Lamu, Funzi is in the South Coast...

Thank you so much Pierrette for the feedback and for having a warm heart for animals... May you too be blessed...

Thanks Sherry for the comment. It is a blessing to have such minds with conservation at heart.. I hope humanity wakes up to the realities of wildlife, environment and what is for the future..

If you go by the statistics on world elephant population, the pace in which they have decreased is extremely worrying... I hope we can change our attitude and behaviour.. Thank you for your comment..

@@kiarieexploreske you're welcome. I read yesterday that one third of the world's trees are endangered . You will notice there is nothing but silence when it comes to human overpopulation . I'm sorry to say , I think it is too late . As far as the poor elephants and rhinos go , they don't have much of a chance .

@@tommurphree5630 let us just hope that the few people who love animals and the environment will continue with the push..

It is not that hard... Only that it is shorter so steeper, but also very scenic... Welcome again and thanks for the feedback...

The music is available on TH-cam free audio library..

I remember hearing those two names being mentioned when the orphans came out... You are a hero for adopting those lovely creatures. Thank you for passing by the channel, and for watching... Blessings
