I really enjoyed watching you old guys climb Kili! And without your Christian faith, I a sure it would have been much harder. I climbed Kili in 2011 at the age of 55 on the Machame route, so this video brought back a of great memories. Thanks for creating such a fine video, with such a nice personal touch!
I would love to climb this mountain, but I am afraid I would never get out of the rainforest because I would be too busy looking at all the plants. I would definitely be hanging back with the slowest guy so I could make sure he didn't get hurt and to look at plants.
Oh men. It surely exist a better way to come near to God, then to fly in a crazy heavy metal bird, with many people around the world, and think, to give life a meaning - to climb with aluminum sticks, a gas bomb and much other stuff on a mountain. The idea to climb in higher age is good, no question. Why again in this always heavy, egoistic and earth-disroying way of life. Its no art to jet, let carry the heavy load from africans on their holy mountain top, that you can eat your noodles like at home and sleep on your beloved pillow. You have so many beautiful mountains in USA, that you could reach by bicycle (e-bikes/-trikes, with a light solartrailer, if you want), and you make almost no footprint. Like this, you will be next to god and his son with less energy, dirt and suffer. Besides; i heard, they where both almost nude and had nearly nothin’ to life their enormous lifes. Is that not the best example, to do like they did, and let go!? Peace.
Amazing video and stories. Did you know Mt Kilimanjaro is a Holy Mountain? one of 19 in the world. there are energies put in it for us to use. all unselfish prayers upon ii can help others, the world, the planet - whether you know or believe.

At 8:57 the man’s story is like mine. My friend who I just met told me that his greatest dream is climbing Kilimanjaro. I was at a different phase of my life . I was into posh most luxurious resort so sleeping in a tent ⛺️ on the ground wasn’t my cup of tea. Came home and a week later want d to know why my new friend wants to climb Kilimanjaro. It grew on me . Zoom in 8 months in, he and I ventured out to climb. I’m forever grateful to Tomek for his inspiration. Forever grateful to the guides and porters for the experience. I got very sick and had to be evacuated in the middle of the night as my life was hanging on a threat . I m looking at the trail and feel your steps . I know exactly where you are and what I was doing at that point. I still want to attempt the mountain one more time! My Tanzanian friends discourage me out of fear that I won’t make to the summit or die as they see people dying on the summit. May God bless all the climbers on the way to and from the summit! Attitude BEFORE altitude! REMEMBER THAT!
I have climbed Kill 3 times . I had attended Machame, and twice Lemosho . My favourite guide is Joseph Marandu from Moshi who is working for Zara Tours. Love my guides and porters, they give all they have to support climbers every step of the way ! I love Tanzania, it’s people. We have so much to learn from! Mungu Awabariki Rafiki Wangu . I left my ❤️in Tanzania 🇹🇿.
I trekked Kili (Lemosho Route) with Zara Tours in 2015. Our Guide was Joseph "Photo" Marandu, too! Our team of 10 all made the summit! It was the adventure of a lifetime.
@kimberly smith They good(Zara tours,no lies)When i climbed Kili never used Zara,My friend hitted by Mountain Sickness and were out of Oxygen on our way down we met Zara tours and helped us wit Oxygen Suppliments
Nice sales pitch to get people to pay GOD knows how much money to be pampered on a vacation with a bunch of old rich dudes........this piece really bugs me.
Rachel Edwards I climbed with Zara tours, my guide is Joseph Marandu. +255 713 454 411. He is one of the best guides! The tour company is arranging everything for you . My trip coordinator was Frank Sululu. The most picturesque trek is Lemosho, I’ve been to Lemosho and Machame. Good luck whenever you decide to go !
21 of jan 2017 at 07:02 I was at Uhuru Peak. Your video is so helpful for those who are making their attempt to climbe Kilimanjaro. In some videos it might seem easy and most of the videos consists of music and footage. Really appreciate your video since it shows how it really is, you get affected with the altitude. NO ONE that has not been at that altitude have any idea how it feels. You can´t breathe but you still have to walk uphill. Thank you and good job walking up that mountain!
Thank you for sharing your amazing experience with us. This video was an encouragement for me. Me and my husband are planning on climbing Mt kilimanjaro next year. You all did a great job .
@Smitha Harwood You will have a great experience and a once in a lifetime experience. Just be prepared and remember "If your mind is willing your body will adapt". It takes will power. Also, consider Machame route, no huts and the most fantastic scenery. It will be worth it.And always, listen to your guides, they know. If they say no, it is no. Have a good hike and wish you all the best.
Great doc! The god thing got a little nauseating . Why do we search for a significance to life, is not life enough? Enjoy life! It's the only one we know.
I'm 69 and like bicycling. I'd like to make this climb but with a minimum of drama and maybe expense. Hmmmm. Meanwhile I'm starting to think of some lower peaks. Thanks for the vid! Paul in Thailand
Caesarillion Aurelius go straight to the tour company in Tanzania. It is less expensive. If you are serious, I can contact my friends at Zara tours to help you . They will take a great care of you . Good luck! Its worth while . If you don’t want any drama ask for a private (VIP) tour . 300$ but you go on your own speed .
