      „Brave, amazing, incredible“ I hope you know that the porters that work on Kilimanjaro are working everyday bringing up over 80 kg EVERYDAY without any weekend and are still getting absolutely underpaid. The situation there is even worse than at the 8000 with the Sherpas. The porters are genuinely suffering bringing up those way to heavy backpacks while people like your favorite youtuber are just doing a little walk.

    Well done to the whole group. Am in Essex, UK. I did the same trip last August with Follow Alice and it was much busier. The emotions,fatigue you experienced echoed my own. I conjured up some reserves of energy from somewhere and just thought about my late mum whose spirit carried me through. We were both born in Kenya(just across the border) so it was like coming back to my roots. Brilliant that you gave a shout out to the amazing porters and Follow Alice, I wouldn't recommend any other company. Alex was my assistant guide last year and I wouldn't have done it without him; he was so full of enthusiasm and energy, it's remarkable. I've no idea where it comes from considering the number of times he's climbed it, it always seems like it's the first😀. Am still in touch with him as we're going back again in a couple of weeks. Glad you all made it safe and sound. Never give up on your dreams! On to the next adventure

Having lived in Africa myself in the late 70s and early 80s (in Egypt and Morocco then for a few months in Tunisia) I always wanted to attempt Kilimanjaro! I’m almost 60 now and that Life dream as well beyond me, but I feel like I’m living a bit vicariously through the two of you. I just don’t have words right now and I think I’m going to have to watch this Vlog for a second time. ❤ That was NO easy feat!!! Kudos for all of the hard work and inspiration for everyone that still dreams of this. Your videography and photography is stunning - but I know it cannot do justice to being there in the moment.

The porters are genuinely suffering bringing up those way to heavy backpacks while people like your favorite youtuber are just doing a little walk.
      Btw, every year there are around 100.000 people doing the walk (1000 people a day), could you imagine how much trash there is?

      I hope you know that the porters that work on Kilimanjaro are working everyday bringing up over 80 kg EVERYDAY without any weekend and are still getting absolutely underpaid. The situation there is even worse than at the 8000 with the Sherpas. The porters are genuinely suffering bringing up those way to heavy backpacks while people like your favorite youtuber are just doing a little walk.
      Btw, every year there are around 100.000 people doing the walk (1000 people a day), could you imagine how much trash there is?

    I cried with you guys, so so proud of you and I don't even know you.🫶 I summited Toubkal recently (highest peak in Northern Africa) and even though it was significantly lower at 4167m I struggled in between, but never gave up. Didn't even think about it. It's always worth it to follow your dreams. 🙌🏼 Keep going you two and lots of love from 🇦🇺

    This was the most incredible adventure you have taken us on. Through this level of emotional and physical hardship can only come huge relief and primal joy. You're brave for showing your vulnerability.
    Also I couldn't believe how much the landscape changed. Day three already looked more like Scotland than Africa!
