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!!!
Im 38 and doing the same
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. 🙏🙏🇹🇿🇹🇿🇹🇿🇹🇿🇹🇿
LANDWAY GLAD your welcome to travel around beautiful destination and sceneries
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 🏴🏴🏴
Thank you for this lovely comment!! It is appreciated :)
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.
I live in Tanzania, and I just want to say thank you for respecting TZ culture and sharing the love
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.
Congratulations I just climbed it 2 weeks ago and am super proud of myself
I love Kilimanjaro
Hope you took a shot pick videos of your experience
Congrats! How was it?
@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.
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.
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 🇹🇿
I agree, it's also shameful that africans haven't changed the lake's name yet
I LOVE MY COUNTRY TANZANIA♥️♥️🇹🇿🇹🇿🇹🇿💪💪
I did this climb back in 2006. Brings back a lot happy memories. Very challenging, but so rewarding.
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!
Great tips thank you
@@upendasana7857 wow…such great tips…thanks! What route do you recommend taking?
This is some National Geographic level video.
totally agree
Facts
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
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!
I am from Tanzania and This melts my heart,, incredible experience
Karibu Sana 🙏🏼
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!!
I love that you shed light on local porters' efforts.
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
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
Home Sweet home Tanzania 🇹🇿
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!
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!
Africa is rich and beautiful. I will definitely visit Tanzania. great country

*greeting to all the Kilimanjaro climbers !
Mungu Awabariki Africa*
Been there, done that 3 times , once Marenge twice Lemosho .
Glad to see you liked my Kilimanjaro video!
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.
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
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.
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.
Your videos are like a therapy. Keep travelling
Thank you hahah!! Glad we can help :)
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.
Beautiful people, beautiful culture, beautiful views 💙
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.
I'm climbing with yall from my bed and in my dreams lol
Hahah awesome!!!
Haha same here!
Haha me too
That's great
Drink lots of water.
The Tanzanian blokes are legends, more awesome work.
This is the best of them all
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. ❤🌍
The different ecosystems are amazing! What an inspiring video
You guys are putting out some of the best TH-cam has to offer in 2019.... and I watch a lot of TH-cam. Great Video and Great Channel!
Thank you for taking us along on this amazing adventure.
Vagabrothers will always be my favorite TH-cam 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! :)
🌹
Very good video.Thanks.. Kilimanjaro : My dreams Mountain.
I LOVE IT 😍! Karibu tenaaa TANZANIA 🇹🇿
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Correction that was the first European dude to climb that mountain.
yes locals have been climbing it forever. great video
Just like Columbus didn't discover America.
@@KT-rk6fn Did you watch the video? They showed the white guy's face. You trolls got to get better.
@@KT-rk6fn don't assume his racist?
I don’t think anyone is saying dude is racist, lol. It’s totally something I used to do too, but folks pointed it out to me that a lot of non-African folks take a Eurocentric view when talking about the feats of the European explorers. I am glad someone pointed it out to me, because you can still mention the Europeans that climbed and travelled to various places in Africa, Asia and the americas, but put it in context, “dude was the first non-African to climb so-n-so mountain and dude made it more popular with other non-African folks, helping to developer the tourist industry in the area.” More accurate and more interesting history lesson.
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.
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!
Welcome back to my country Bro,
Show love from (TANZANIAN TH-camR)
Do people ski in the snowiest areas? Looks awesome!!
Congrats on making it this far. A lot of hard work and effort went into the making of this video so thanks for sharing.

Vega Brothers, Thank you for this breathtaking experience and excellent cinematographic video.
what an awesome adventure. I still remember my climb following the Machame route to the summit
👍 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. 🤔
"Vagamanjaro"!! It's just a great big "Vaga" world out there.. Beautiful Alex..

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)
They love dancing in Africa. I like that alot. They know how to have fun.
Amazing views from top of the mountain kilimanjaro
Beautifully presented!
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!
The elevation is crazy!!! The views were even more unbelievable.
This was incredible. And inspiring.
Thank you Jen!!! Stay tuned for part two!!
How many days will it take to climb up & down ?
Do we need to get any training in mountain climbing prior to the climbing ?
How much it costs, to hire all these porters and all ?
This was a great video. Thank you for sharing this experience.
Cheers Ed!! Appreciate that!
Amazing trip, amazing video, amazing information. I love your channel!
*My fiance 💍 and I ❤ how informative and well shot your videos are. They're fun to watch and they inspire us!*
Thank you!!! Glad you enjoy them!

I love how every day starts with song!! Cool way to welcome a clearly amazing day 🤙🏼
Oh yeah!!! The team at Kiliwarrior are amazing! The song and dance are lead by Kimini, the camp manager who used to be a preacher. He’s super musical!
