Ever since traveling for me meant to be active. I was taking on new outdoor challenges every year from skiing in the Alps to rafting in South America, Biking trips in North America and several multi-day trekking adventures in places like Patagonia, Peru or Kyrgyzstan. This year I was ready for the next step: climbing one of the seven summits. When G Adventures asked me to become part of their Wanderers program I saw my chance to take on the highest mountain in Africa as one of their brand ambassadors….but little did I know how hard this endeavour would be….
Unlike other trips this one started actually 5 months before the first day of trekking…I worked on my fitness, changed my diet and did a lot of research on Mt. Kilimanjaro. I decided to take on the Lemosho route which is 56 kilometers long and takes altogether 8 days - my decision was based on 2 reasons: one was the fact that the itinerary of this route is the best for acclimatization of the body to the high altitude and the resulting high summit success rate (which is at 96% for G Adventures), the other reason is the beauty of the route which is often described as the most picturesque and spectacular of all popular routes.
Located in North East Tanzania Mount Kilimanjaro is with 5895m the highest mountain in Africa which makes it one of the seven summits. Apart from that it is also the highest free standing mountain in the world. Kilimanjaro is a dormant volcano with three three volcanic cones, "Kibo", "Mawenzi", and „Shira“. The highest point is located on Kibo - after the independence of Tanzania it was named Uhuru Peak in 1964 - which is Kiswhali and translates into „freedom Peak“.
-About my Cooperation with G Adventures-
For many years I was searching for a suitable partner who offers outdoor tours which align with my style of traveling as well as my values. After many meetings I’m glad I found this partner with G Adventures who offer many adventurous tour packages for travelers like me…but who also care about the environment and local communities in order to execute sustainable tourism. I forced this cooperation because I like the products and the philosophy of the company. Nevertheless all opinions, recommendations and views are my own.

Thank you so much for watching this and for you nice comments. Meanwhile I put together all information in a separate video in order to help you prepare for this adventure. I went in September and have summed up all the information in an own blog post here: www.back-packer.org/climbing-kilimanjaro-tips/
have you ever heard of a CF patient who has climbed mt. Kilimanjaro?
Wonderfu¡!!!
I am going to do it!!!!!!! Greetings from South Africa
proudly Tanzanian I'm from this small town called Moshi Kilimanjaro I'm happy to see our unique mountain on you're channel
Wow from Moshi also here
The real heroes are the porters. Notice how huge the packs are that they carry on their backs and shoulders and, yes, on their heads, yet how quickly, you can say effortlessly, they climb the trails. I bet you wouldn't hear any "Steve-like" panting out of them. :)
The other heroic sights are the beautiful scenery, for level after level, plus the determination and the joy of accomplishment of the climbers. And best of all are the teaser shots as the summit reveals itself. The way you reserved this hidden treat for us was very nicely handled, Steve.
How you're coping with altitude sickness shows in your face, Steve, around your eyes. At first, I thought it was simply bad lighting. You're a strong man to have made it through this.
ha! That's one of the first things I realized and my respect for them grew each day seeing what they are doing there (that's also why we loved calling them G-Fighters instead of porters). Trekkers like me go up there one time and celebrate the achievement while the porters are the true kili heroes. Our team was simply amazing and I hope to have captured that apart from my own story. Thank you so much for your nice words, that means a lot to me!
It's true fighters are porters at Kilimanjaro!
Welcome to Tanzania Kilimanjaro www.bravekilimanjarotours.com
I trekked the Lemosho Route (and successfully summited) back in 2015 at age 55. Loved your video--I got to relive the greatest adventure of my life! And the Barranco Wall: You either love it or hate it...I loved it! Cheers!
I've watched about a dozen videos on Kilimanjaro and they are interesting. This video has been the best.
Bravo, bravo standing innovation congratulations. Very well filmed and edited. I saw Kilimanjaro 35 years ago from Moshi when my dad took us on a saffari with a Datsun that had only 20cm clearance. Overheated 4 times in Serengeti but the saffari was epic. When I saw the snow on Kilimanjaro I could not understand how it was possible to have snow at the equator. I was 5-6 year old at the time. May be one day I'll try to climb it. This documentary is a great inspiration. Thanks
Thanks so much! What a great story to read - thanks for sharing. This mountain definitely has something!

Larry the legend.
Dear Steve,
thank you so much for uploading this amazing video.
When I visited Amboseli/Kenya in 2003 I told my wife that I would like to hike Mt Kilimanjaro one day. Now, 15 years later, I have decided to do it. I will also walk the Lemosho Route end of January 2019. Just 2 months to go, and honestly I start getting a bit nervous. Videos like yours confirm that it was the right decision. I am aware that this will probably the hardest thing I have ever done, but I will be ready for this challenge. For preparation I am running, riding my MTB and hiking in the nearer area, wheras there are no mountains here. Thanks again!
Karsten
That's a great way to kick of 2019, Karsten. It looks like you got everything sorted and come with the right attitude - training is important to be able to also enjoy this experience. I wish you all the best for this wonderful adventure!
My son and I are doing this exact trip Jan 31-Feb 9, 2019. Is that the one you are on?
That denpends on the organization you're hiking with. However, I will start on January 27th.
Karsten Jahns Going with G!
@@karstenjahns1245 how was your trip?
Thank you😎 I SUMMIT Kili 21.10.21 did Lemosho Route and only found your video now ☀️ it's a STUNNING representation of an AMAZING experience everyone should do✨
This is amazing Steve!! Now when people ask me what it was like I can direct them here! So many awesome memories from this trip. Thank you!
Harriet, great to see you here! Thanks for being part of this awesome adventure - you guys made my job easy by hiking always in line. haha :) Means a lot to me to hear such nice words from people who have been part of this all the way. Hope you recovered well and had an amazing safari afterwards!

Did you make the trek? Or, did Covid-19 disrupt your plans? I'd like to hear about your experience.
Great film, you did a nice job showing the workers
Congratulations steve!!! You inspire a lot o people with your videos, definitely!
Aww - thank you so much!
Whoaaa!!! Kilimanjaro is a huge bucket list item for me. I've been across the Himalaya and the Andes but both by car. But I've always been fascinated by climbing two mountains: Mt. Kilimanjaro and Mt. Fuji!
So I have watched a lot of documentaries about both of them and I must say that your video is one of the best ones out there when it comes to showing the details of the trek!
Thank you so much, glad you liked it - I wanted to show as much of what the experience is like as possible!
Mt. Kilimanjaro and Mt. Fuji are two mountains I've climbed. Both of them were exhilarating experiences, each in it's own way. They are not really difficult to climb if your body can adjust to the heigth. But the last day on Mt. Kilimanjaro was tough. Invest in an extra acclimatation day and you will increase your chances of succeeding.
I don't know why I am crying! I am so inspired and so happy for all of you! Thank you for sharing this special experience.
Awww..that's so sweet - thank you for watching!
Thank you so much for this video..I climbed kilimanjaro on 2013..through marangu route...its a place to see ..I can't explain it but you'll have to trek it...and you'll feel un overwhelming joy and closeness to God or appreciate Gods creation...I miss Tanzania from USA
What an incredible documentary, with a deep view of the climbers and the heroes porters, that makes an unique video of climbing Kilimanjaro, I wish I could get it in 2020 or 2021. Congrats for the video Steve!
As you you were showing Kibo, I was in shivers! The feelings came back . Such an emotional journey! It was very cloudy.
Mungu aw akubariki Rafiki!
Great Job Steve! Such an accomplishment to climb Kilimanjaro!
Love to hear that. Thanks!
Thanks Steve! That was just the motivation I needed to hang in with my training. I leave in 3 weeks for this exact trip with my son who will turn 33 on the hill. So I'm not as old as Larry but I have worked my but off to get in shape for this dream. Great review of the details and team support! I have shared this with my whole family so they get an idea.
how did it go Lorrie?
Awesome shots and great story… I love it! May I ask how you went about getting a drone up there? I have heard it can take some time to get permits and is not so easy. I am trying to find someone who can assist me with all necessary permits etc. Thanks & regards, Nic
"Climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro ... "
This is an ignorantly titled video.
It is not Mt. Kilimanjaro.
Kilima in Swahili means "mountain" ... so the title incorrectly translates as
Mt. Mountain njaro.
Kilimanjaro. translates as
Mountain shining
In 1965 three of us climbed to Gilmans Point, up and down in two days ... for free.
I have the video as evidence!!

Excellent Video, lots of detail, answers to questions that I was looking for as I plan a this hike in 2024
Hi Steve, thank very much for sharing with us this amazing experience. Best regards from Buenos Aires, Argentina
Lovely and informative documentary, thank you. I am headed to Kili via Machame route next week.
I really enjoyed watching this. Thanks for sharing
We climbed it last month, this documentary is so amazing to see, and I felt every second of it. It even made me cry❤️ an amazing adventure
Congratulations steve!!! You inspire a lot of people with your videos... Keep going
I always loved this mountain growing up. Something fascinating about it...another excellent video
A very very wonderful video...I´ll climb Kilimanjaro in summer 2020 and I hope I´ll make it to the top too :-)

This is awesome! Must have been amazing adventure! Would totally love to do this or something similar one day!
It was such a great trip and I can only recommend to go for the Lemosho route if you decide on doing Kili! ;)
It looks fun
Larry is an inspiration. Never give up on your dreams. Thanks for making this great video. Stay encouraged.
Yes! Larry was amazing. I trekked at age 55. The adventure of a lifetime!

Oh my word, I am going up Kili on this same route; Lemosho Western Breach! But I am doing 6 other multi day hikes here on South Africa to acclimatize in addition to trail running and ultra marathons. Can’t wait to be back in Tanzania! The last time I was there was work
So beautiful, so human, amazing!!! Congrats!!!
Ilove you
It is the most beautiful story I have seen about the ascent of Kilimanjaro.
Give us a chance to see how it's there, thank you.
Thank you Steve awesome video very inspiring. I have booked to go in September 2020 on the same route as you for a significant birthday treat and although you have confirmed to me it will be hard it will also be a marvelous adventure. Also what a fine tribute you have made to the porters, guides and your other fellow trekkers.
That sounds like a great plan. Thanks for your nice words!
I did the 6 day machame route in october. The only symptoms I had was a little loss of appetite at lunch at lava tower, and a little bit of vomiting that next morning, but after breakfast that morning, felt great for the rest of the trip.
great documentation. I did the tour myself in october. get goose bumps again.
Awesome & Congrats!
How was the weather in October??
What a great video! Well done. Good story-telling! Thank you for the video!
Thanks!
A beautiful and informative documentary, thanks a lot! :)
Thanks for watching!
Great Job you did there! Verry nice documentary ! Whish i could have done it on my own as well..
Thank you Stefan - hope you can do it in the future!
Beautiful place to visit
wow it is very informative and educational documentary. It is not just ordinary travel but so much historical information. a well done job and so impressive. Love from Philippines.
Hii Steve,.,very well documentary brother. Informative, picturesque and covers all the aspects of climbing.
Wonderful video Steve... I vicariously enjoyed it without the effort....Well done....Truly inspiring and heartlifting ..the power of the human spirit...
You did the great job
I was struggling to take my decision about go or not go but you inspire me to go so thank you very much for sharing your happiness and experience with worlds unknown people
Thank you 🙏 thank you
James and the g fighters... did this in January... the guides were awesome!
amazing video! loved it ❤️
Inspired me to do this, great work!
Great job and congratulations! This was a great documentary on the joy and struggle of pursuing the high peaks. I have been considering adding this great mountain to my bucket list and have been checking out your catalog of videos for information. Cheers!
Awesome!!!! on my bucket list :) hopefully on 2020. This is amazingly beautiful!!!!!
Thank you!

Absulutely stunning video Steve. A huge well done to you and all the ream, the guides, the porters the cooks and everyone involved. Great commentary, nice music and great camera work. I go in Oct 2021 and this has been such an education. Many thanks.

Larry what a legend
What an unforgottable experience! Thanks for sharing your experience with us and making this awesome video💕
Glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome video it should definitely be more popular
Excellent video, especially that you presented us the people "behind the scene" which made possible a normal being without any mountain experience, to climb to almost 6000m! I was mostly impressed by that GFighter; he was so dedicated to learn and work, that I'm sure he'll become a CEO guide in short time.
My God! Congratulations Steve!!!
congratulations... it should be noted, though, that you should not have attempted summit with the symptoms you were having. that severe headache can be a precursor to flash cerebral edema, which is brain swelling that comes on fast and once you have that, you usually die. it was not very wise for the guides to allow you to continue, as the only cure is descent. i have climbed kili, and know how hard it must be to turn around, but it would be irresponsible for people to think it is a good idea to keep going with those symptoms. you didn't have just one- you basically had them all. i am glad you survived.
That's cool , very nice shots have to say great background music feels like I'm in a dream. Thank you.
nice film
Great achievement...salute...Love from India ❤️
Nice video I love it we are supposed to clim it in sept 2022 for our honey moon (after being postponed) I hope we will enjoy as you did and succeed. Looking after it
thank you Steve for the wonderful video.. really hope i can do this trek after this COVID situation!
Excellent shooting. Hats off. Thank you so much.
The best,,, Thank you for everything.
Really great
piece of cake that trek
Excellent job Steve. After my Swiss Alps trip to Jungfraujoch I am considering this. Only thing is there are no trains. This is the real deal so I may have to first do some endurance training.
What an epic journey!
Hi Steve! Spitzen Video! Sehr informativ. Du setzt dir tolle Ziele! Weiter so! Es gibt auch Berge die sind weniger überlaufen ;-)
LG Jörg
Haha - danke! Klar, solch einzigartige Ziele wie Kili sind leider äußerst beliebt ;)
I’m planning on doing this in 2020, exact timeframe depends on when I can get the time off. I’m shooting for end of August.
Good one steve
Great work Steve! good leadership James!
Thank you for this inspiring video! Its my new goal. All the best of your adventures!!!
I love this trip most interesting and going whit good people
Thanks for the good info of Mt.Kilimanjaro.
Bautifull video !! And congratulations for reaching the roof of afrika .
Thank you for the video, I loved how authentic and detailed it was! I’m planning to go in late February next year, can I ask what your thoughts are about that time of year?
great overview - Thanks... Must admit that the portion sizes of the food look like children's portions.
Very well done! Great job!
May be, just may be.
One day.
I might be able to do it !
Sehr gutes Video!
Great video, Steve !
Thank you very much Sir for Sharing such a wonderful information.....!
Thank you Steve, winder tribute to Kiki and the people who make it happen
I’m climbing in July next year. Is the company you used Good earth?
My favourite route! Climbed 3 times .
3 times! Wow! With your record I would like to ask advice as you obviously have seniority. I am an athletic 18 year old kid and am wondering what your training program was like. Would you recomend training for and running a marathon before ascending? At what point did you know you were physically fit enough for the climb? For some context I live 2000 ish feet above sea level and am in close proximity to trails. I am from the northern US so i am used to cold weather and snow.
choosing this route
You have done good work on this.
Amazing documentary... Well done and thank you for sharing your experience. Very inspiring :D
Hi which month did you go.. The weather looked nice and which month would you recommend which is warmest and driest? Thanks.
Try Jan- feb, august - october.. The other months are either raining or extremely cold...
Amazing documentary! Thank you so much for sharing this experience! The gfighters team is very helpful, it seems. Your personality has great traits man! We can see those in your small actions and interactions with people. Well done!
Wow !! Moving video !
very detail journey, with so many climbers, how do they keep the trail free from trash?. I have seen other documentary on different routes, they sleep in wood cabins. So the chef, porters, cook etc are keeping the locals employed? From ecology point of view, wouldn't permanent wooden champs at different peaks better for the environment?
Hey - the huts are only on the Marangu route, which is the most popular of all routes. Trash in the camp is usually taken care of by the tour operators - beyond that it is everyones responsibility to take care of the environment and don't litter. There is a lot more work to do in educating people on this matter for sure as Kilimanjaro attracts a lot of people who aren't trekking regularly.
