  • Hey Kurt,

    very good video.

  • Thanks Alexander! I'm having a great time hanging with you guys! We need to climb Kilimanajaro someday. Kurt

  • Moving video. I'm 15 years old, and I'm climbing Kili on September, I hope I can get to the summit, I know it's going to be a really hard task, specially for what I've heard the last day of climbing, the day you get to the summit. Congratulations for reaching Uhuru Peak :)

  • Good luck on your climb. You should be ok as long as you drink a lot of water and climb (as they say in Swahili) pole pole! Let me know how you did... Kurt

  • Nice video. We better get to Kilimanjaro before the glacier completely disappears!

  • Yeah - it's a shame. I talked to an older safari guide from Kenya who said they had to wear crampons the last day or so climbing Kili in the '60s. It's a lot different today, unfortunately.

  • @kbestor Man this is cool! me and my friend plan on going in a year and the only we are woried about is AS (Altitude sickness) we hear it isn't the funnest thing to experience in the world... Do u have any like pointers or tips on how to avoid Altitude sickness?

  • Interesting footage & commentary.

    What a bonding experience.

    You have the perfect narrator's voice.

    Eight people, twenty-nine porters, cooks, table cloths? Far more posh & pampered than I expected.

  • Hey how weird...I am the 19,340th person to view this vid....the height of Kilimanjaro...spooky !

  • ill love to climb kilimanjaro

  • schnee am kilimanjaro . ich will diese legende noch selber sehen . der ruhige vortrag passt zu diesem stoischen berg

  • great video, well narrated. just the right info as im planing a trip there summer 2008.

  • Kilimanjaro is in Tanzania not Kenya!!

    To this day some people still believe that Mt Kilimanjaro is in Kenya or atleast half of it. These experts go even further to assert that the views are better from the Kenyan side as if on the Tanzanian side there is skyscrapers obscuring the view.

    If the Tanzanians do not wake up before you know it the Serengeti and Ngorongoro will also be in Kenya soon!!
