Today marks three years since Jonty left the UK for Tanzania, the home of Africa's tallest mountain, Mount Kilimanjaro. Leaving behind our young family for 10 days was painful enough but what was to come was the most challenging experience that to this day, remains one of the best moments in Jonty's life.

Much love, Jonty. To this day you're the best tent mate I've ever had whilst in Africa

@WONDERLUSTworld 3 года назад

Hahaha! Thanks mate. I loved re-editing this and looking back on such a great time!

Great show. Altitude sickness is not fun. Glad that you got thru. So sad that one of the member didn't made it. It is thru such adventure that one gets to have a better reflection on life in general and family in particular.

@WONDERLUSTworld 3 года назад

Absolutely!! Never appreciated my family more than when I was out there!!

@ciarawest8163 3 года назад

Wow!! What an adventure and what an experience. Gorgeous scenes of the beautiful landscape, and so brilliantly captured, too! All for a really important cause. This is genuinely something I would expect to see aired on the BBC. Bravo, Jonty 👏🏻

@WONDERLUSTworld 3 года назад

Thank you Ciara!! Was an unforgettable experience 😊 if I ever make it onto the BBC, trust me, I will never forget the support we first received through RU-vid ❤️

That was so awesome. You and the guys were so awesome!

Thank you!! Those porters were incredible.

That first flower you showed is the Kilimanjaro Impatiens which is unique to the mountain. In the UK Impatiens is called 'Busy Lizzie' but ours is not so pretty. Don't worry about the emotions. I think the altitude must cause it as I saw several male colleagues tearing up through happiness or sympathy on the climb, including me 🙂 Oh wow! I have just seen how it ended. I have to say I was surprised you went straight from Baranco to Base camp as almost everyone sleeps at Karanga so they can get more sleep at the base camp next day but it looks like that had no bearing on your ascent issues. Well done for surviving it all.

Thank you! Was an awesome experience and I’d do it again in a heartbeat!

What an absolutely meaningful adventure... thanks for sharing it with us. The look on the kids' faces and Millie's at Heathrow was priceless.

Great video. A group of my family and I just climbed Kilimanjaro at the beginning of October. I can attest that it was one of the hardest things physically and mentally to do. In the end we pushed through and made it.

@WONDERLUSTworld 3 года назад

Wow!!! Congratulations!! Must have been an amazing feeling!!! I’ll make it up there one day 😁

I hiked Kili last summer. The true unsung heroes are the porters; seeing how hard the porters worked and how little they bring home. I was told the porters main income come from tips from the hikers. Our group tipped them as generously as we could. My friend and I gave away gear that we didn't need anymore. Please make sure to tip the porters and give away any gear you don't need. It is so sad that a porter died due to insufficient clothing.

@WONDERLUSTworld 2 года назад

Yeah! We had heard from hikers who did it a few years before me that even as recent as 2014, porters were climbing in flip flop slippers!! We gave away heaps of our gear too 😊 and Thanks for watching. I hope it brought back some good memories for you?

@KenMathTeacher 2 года назад

Yes it did! I was blessed to be with great company and had lots of care (nearly 30 crew members for 8 hikers). We all managed to summit safely. It was a memorable experience. Thank you for your video.

Altitude sickness is the worst. I had that when I travelled to Manchu Picchu and Tibet. The constant headache and shortness of breath was terrible.

@WONDERLUSTworld 3 года назад

Yes! But I would do it again in a heartbeat! Machu Picchu is on the bucket list for sure!! Need to prepare 🤣

@deepakmohinani 3 года назад

WOW! You took me back to Tanzania! I was there over 20yrs ago to produce a documentary of a gold mining project in Geita (near Lake Victoria). I only viewed Kili from the plane. There was a lot more snow at the summit then.

@WONDERLUSTworld 3 года назад

Wow! It is stunning from the plane! I’m really interested in your documentary??
