Proudly Tanzanian🇹🇿❤

[@chriscorless16]

I climbed Kili 2 years ago. My greatest achievement and best trip of my life.

[@stephensmullen2684]

I climbed Kili last Summer when I was seventeen and it was the most powerful experience I have ever felt. It is the first time I have ever had to overcome such adversities and had to ignore all the voices in my head telling me to stop. Once you reach that summit, it truly does make u see the world in a different light. I will never forget all the names of the crew that got me there. Everyone should do this and experience these feelings for themselves :)

[@JakeRichandAnnaChah]

The spirit of those people just seems incredible! what a culture to be part of :) incredible man!

[@TysonTRAVEL]

Was inspirational being around them.. Learnt so much on that journey, only want a lifetime full of experiences like this!

[@noahcampeau9251]

I climbed Kilimanjaro at age 18 with my mother. It was the most majestic and breathtaking experience of my life..

[@everythingfatema]

I am going to Mt Kilimanjaro in about 3 weeks. This video makes me feel so motivated. Thanks

[@julialuvs1D]

Just came back from Kilimanjaro and did the Machame route myself. Was so amazing to see the exact same places I climbed through again. Thank you for this

[@fujival09]

Hi Julia! I'm planning my trek on the machame route at the start of feb 2019. Did you do it in 6 or 7 days?

[@boazschwartz1692]

Hey man, great video. I attempted to climb killi 3 years ago but my appendix actually ended up rupturing on the mountain and i was airlifted off the mountain for treatment. and this video makes me wanna go back and finished what i started

[@matthewcook5369]

Finish it sir! I'm going in June and you are welcome to join us!

[@theodorebrice-bennett109]

This is where I live and I’m half chaga myself. I live in Marangu

[@marangukilimanjaroculturet8917]

Wow. Nice kaka. Welcome again . I live Under the Mountain kilimanjaro Marangu village

[@manafrica6968]

That was a fun day ever to both of you...We are so glad that you made it....

[@aireengumabong4275]

I was emotional when you reached the summit. It feels like I've reached the top, too. It's my dream mountain to climb. ❤️

[@dvlpr]

Tyson that was by far your best video and one of the best travel videos I've seen man. Absolutely love your journey!

[@TysonTRAVEL]

Really appreciate you saying that :) This was one of my most moving experiences, so I I'm really glad I had the chance to share it with you all :) Here is to a year, with a lot more moments like this for everyone!!

[@soniackm8511]

Kilimanjaro... 😍🇮🇳 love from India..

[@utopianjess]

The true warriors are the African people of that region. The porters who show you the way and carry your luggage, make you lunch and dinner and sing in their oldest traditions. Africa is the mother land where it all started. Great job on climbing that summit. That experience will never leave you. I really appreciate the story and the narration of the people there.

[@drumsticks5880]

Ofcause.... Nothing but the best hospitality to all foreigners, in all of Africa.. Tanzania my heart and soul, my home. I love and miss you.

[@KirilDobrev]

Yes Tyson! Man give yourself a pat on the back, awesome achievement and outstanding film.

[@reallifetravel9336]

Your best video yet.. so powerful , feel super inspired after watching this!

[@lizabethvideos8718]

[@pbee8792]

[@shellyz5960]

I leave in 3 weeks to conquer Kili....thank you for this awesome video... you "get" it.

[@BradNewton]

did you conquer it?? :)

[@SophieLovesSunsets]

Amazing! It actually gives me chills just watching this as it looks so incredible. A huge congratulations on your achievement :) This is such an inspirational video and the positive energy that the African people have is so uplifting. My husband and I are climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in July and we're excited beyond words. My hubby did the trek four years ago and he always tells me how amazing it was. Since we got married it's been on our bucket list to do the trek together. To camp under the stars in Africa will be the adventure of a lifetime 🌍

[@GlendaHayward]

I am sitting with a Lady who climbed Mt Kilimanjaro in 1957, she peaked alone with a guide, she is now looking at this video and her words are "Grateful that I peaked alone with a guide, as then I could experience the spirituality and peace without the noise. She received a garland of everlasting white flowers. Her husband did not peak, he got as far as Hanse Meyer Cave as he got mountain sickness, was taken down to the saddle between Kilimanjaro and Mawenzi Peak, by the porters. He received a bouquet of the same flowers. Her first reaction to the video is the lack of snow and ice on Mt Kilimanjaro and the visibility of all the rock formation. At the time that she climbed, there was no cellphone, no helicopter. Her name is Isabella.

[@madvk308]

Thankyou for the story and thank her for sharing it :)

[@hansnelson3583]

1957! That's such a while back, we hadn't even attained independence in Tanzania 🇹🇿! Was she a colonialist or something?

[@theturkanabus3610]

Unfortunately, The mts of Kilimanjaro, Kenya and Ruwenzori have lost about 70% of the glaciers first seen in 1920

[@aroldcharles7753]

Thanks for sharing... What a feeling!!

[@dubinatub1]

first lady to clime was called sheila,first bathtub to the top was also called sheila

[@Idah.Waringa]

This brings back so many memories. I was here in April this year from around the 14th through to 20th and we followed the Machame route. One of the best experiences of my life. Thank you for documenting that awesomeness.

[@Idah.Waringa]

I am going through SO MANY emotions watching this. The nostalgia...even my heart has started beating watching you guys being woken up for summit night. Man! This is amazing.

[@worldcitizeng6507]

Plz share when is the best time to visit? is there a high/low season? thx

[@fujival09]

Hi Idah! I'm preparing to go the Machame route at the start of Feb 2019. Did you do it in 6 or 7 days?

[@FlyEmbarr]

Awesome video! I climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro in 2015. I could not have described the experience better than you! It was life altering for me. Truly inspiring. I am climbing Mt Rainier in September and shooting for Denali in 2018. Thank you so much for sharing this experience.

[@HonestJunkie]

@TysonTRAVEL .... I've not climbed above 5,500 metres, but the idea of Kilimanjaro has been something rattling around my head for years now, after watching your experience here .......... well its like petrol on a fire. I could feel the emotion just watching mate, thanks so much for sharing your journey... LOVE IT!!!!!!

[@simpleeazy1018]

I’m from the islands so they talk about this mountain constantly. One day I was just sitting around and the name Kilimanjaro came to kind. Googled what it is and the location and now I have a passion to visit this mountain! I don’t care too much about getting to the top as long as I’m there that’s all that matters!

[@carna110]

"So long as the mind is willing, the body will adapt" - Love this

[@munirarashid8763]

This is the best video ever I'm from Tanzania, congrats Tyson good job

[@DanCarterNow]

[@takeachansengo]

This is incredible, i agree that reaching the summit of a mountain makes you feel more alive than ever. Can't wait to climb this mountain someday!

[@charlesbrown4099]

After doing this climb my self this video speaks so many words. The pain, the suffering but feeling at the top is worth it 100%. If anyone gets the chance to do it... do it !

[@salbidilanchian1820]

Man I don't know who you are. You just showed up in my sub box. I don't know why I subbed to you or what video I watched but I am so pleased. This was by far one of the best videos I've seen. This is something I've wanted to do for a while and the way you have captured this experience has a tear in my eye. Absolutely stunning. A video I will never forget

[@nicksonmfaume7579]

Salbi Dilanchian check for more information about Tanzania, i am a guide and tour operator here

[@iVince905]

That really hit me, "its the moments that make you feel alive" VERY POWERFUL

[@cofcosofadmin6011]

I love this film, simple, but i can fee the emotion

[@garikg]

good job man !! I did it in 2012 and your words are so true!! It doesn't matter how much money you have and what you drive. This is the moment in life to feel that you are alive and you are the man!! I went back to my memories

[@PillCozbee]

I'm so stoked. Doing this in 2019. Have to lose 50 more pounds. Will spend the entire spring that year in Colorado. This is real.

[@donnatheexplorer1]

Absolutely stunning views! Great edit and story! Loved it!

[@leightonmilton5162]

I'm planning to climb Mount Kilimanjaro next year. Can't wait. Gonna get some great photos and videos, like yours. Phenomenal! 😊👌🏻

You are welcome

[@danalee1964]

Beautiful footage. Wish we had done the midnight ascent. We left at 4am and saw the sunrise enroute. It was the best trip ever. Challenging, but with proper prep, anyone really can do it!

[@Nadskofija]

I have climbed it last year (july 2017) it was the best experience of my life. The spirit of people there is just amazing.

[@SamuelGais]

Beautiful Video, its not easy to capture that light spirit while doing something this physically challenging, well done, love the edit.

[@Jojo-bz4ln]

Hey Tyson, awesome video. I'm actually from Kilimanjaro but I'm in the diaspora and I'm going to Kill with some of my friends in 2018. Thanks for this vid, I'm super pumped now!

[@yfarina]

Kili was a life changing moment for me. Uhuru Peak seemed impossible when you are fighting ams and the cold. But perseverance wins in the end.

[@BeckhamBelieves]

Wow, Tyson, thank you for sharing such an experience and incredible video with us. Bravo!

[@lycoronadosoto1]

I LOVED IT! Made me emotional too!

Anyone can do it, I did it with my class back in 2015 4 days after turning 16 years old. It is something that will stick with me for the rest of my life.

[@rubyshah5844]

[@laurakorn9153]

Such a powerful video! You're killing it Tyson!!!!

[@bazmeow]

The most amazing, difficult and rewarding thing I've ever done and you captured it perfectly. I climbed with 42 and Paul, everyone involved with G Adv is incredible. Well done!!!

[@jogratitude1908]

I love the history behind the name Kilimanjaro. I've claimed Kilimanjaro 3 times . Been to Chaga tribe . Love Tanzania. Mungu Awabariki !

[@jb_equestrian1228]

[@alyssaramirez9880]

Dude this is so amazing and beautiful!!! It's on my bucket list to climb Kili and I finally set a goal to climb in 2018! I've started to learn Swahili with 1 hr of practice on my way to my restaurant job just so I can speak with the natives and porters in their own language. I was so excited to know the songs you featured in your vid! I am so excited to experience that moment you described at the top of the mountain! Thanks for the vid!

[@corey7617]

Did you ever end up doing it?

[@EleanorJiang]

Had to hold my tears back when you guys reached the peak.....wow...

[@justinjones426]

I summited Kilimanjaro on 9-30-2015 at 7:40am. That emotion you felt at the peak, I felt it too when I put my hand on the sign at Uhura Peak as I said to myself "You didn't quit." At that moment I was met with a mixture of exhaustion, relief and pride. And it got me choked up. I had took some video on my GoPro but it ran out of battery life around the time we got to the top of the Barranco Wall. You've put together a hell of a video here, though. Congratulations on you're accomplishment!

[@EmmaBrooks_gva]

I'd been following you on Instagram and finally watched this video. Just stunning!

[@Miglen]

Kilimanjaro is an easy hike for any person who is a little bit more fit than a couch potato, especially on the Coca-Cola (Marangu) route. Apart from that, this is a really cool film, great work!

[@dietmtndewbaby]

Thank you for sharing! Beautiful people and story.

[@Mooseman1138]

Thanks for sharing your experience Tyson, it certainly brought back many wonderful memories of my own experience conquering Kilimanjaro, which was in June this year. I joined a group of 17 other Aussies as part of a fundraising challenge for the Leukaemia Foundation (we raised over $160k). We climbed via the Rongai route, which took us via the spectacular Mawenzi Tarn Hutt, Kibo Camp (base camp), Gilman's Point and then Stella Point where you initially reached the crater. It was one of the most amazing, rewarding, life-changing as you said, experiences and it certainly challenged all of us to our limits.

[@karenwallace8068]

Woo-hoo - AWESOME! Am really looking forward to doing this in September. My memories of Annapurna and Thorung La are quite like this so have half an idea what to expect. Thanks so much for sharing with us. Oops, somehow I appear as someone I am not - sorry Karen, don't know how this happened (Barb here)

[@jescanathan3914]

Karen Wallace karibu tanzania..

[@angelikalesyk7823]

I did the Salkantay Trek in Peru with G Adventures. The experience was amazing. Our highest point was 4630m and it was challenging for me. I can't imagine how it would feel going higher. It was something that I will never forget. Love this video!

[@bongieger7871]

That was QUALITY!

[@middleagemadness2177]

Such and inspiration to see this Glad to see you smashing life goals

[@brendarivera4377]

Beautiful, wish I could do a hike like that, not giving up yet.

[@Tribaltourist]

Well done, what an achievement! It's much harder than what people imagine!

[@suchanuch1]

Wow I'm smiling and crying. Great job Tyson.

[@COLETHORN10]

Summated in 2008 and got to overnight camp at the top at Crater Camp. Hard to beat that at the best place you ever slept for the night. Zero degree rated sleeping bag and bottle of water heated by fire to hold between your feet. Best night sleep I ever got.

[@yoshitummala7886]

this is so incredible, I teared up at the end watching it through my screen

[@martinpupa]

Every moment can be the moment. And now I have one more dream from now, Thank you for sharing!

[@kateannkozen]

I just returned from Mt Kili just a few short weeks ago. Life changing, for sure. Love, love this video!! Congrats to you for summiting and watching you with your mountain family brought back amazing and heartwarming memories for me!

[@MountainLust]

Absolutely stunning footage and editing in this and what a trip too, such an amazingly beautiful and unearthly part of this world we inhabit.

[@vinayakgokhale6079]

Awesome video. Truly inspirational. Thanks for sharing your experience.

[@sheenonearth]

Its beautiful

[@allankawakami7851]

This video was amazing! I think this is one of your best ones to date.

[@julienvh1160]

Just Wow :O Will be climbing Kili this summer and your video just gave me so much motivation. Thank you so much for creating this video as I will be able to share with close friends and family what it felt like. Hope your channel grows because this video was the most inspiring and uplifting video I have seen on youtube. Keep it up !

[@GCDvlogs]

The team that took you up looked awesome! Great vibe!

[@sunitadoss1232]

This video is so beautiful and inspiring. Like the spirit of the entire team

[@alonsoedamian]

Amazing video dude. The part of the sky with the stars is SPEECHLESS. Keep it up.

[@adec2526]

Very well edited video. And YES, the mountain makes you cry, both with pain & with joy. Having climbed it twice myself, and even set a world record on it in 2015, I have special memories of this beauty. And of the wonderful guides, who make sure you continue to put one foot in front of the other. Great video. Where are videos 2 & 3 ?

[@Becr12345]

I love everything you said in this video, wow it takes me back to my climb in 2012, it truly was LIFE CHANGING!!!!! and I'd go back to Kili and the wonderful people in Tanzania in a heartbeat

[@Amanda-tz]

This is awesome. I live in Kilimanjaro region

[@jeffsykes5190]

Fuck yeah. Definitely want to do that. @TimSeller - probably one of your best creations. Congrats all

[@MrBigsTube]

Wow this brought back some memories for me. I did the Rongai route in 2009 and experienced the same unexpected emotional high on the summit. I'm SO happy to see the horrid green sign board was replaced with the more classical design from back then.

[@Teacher2Polis2XtraRice]

Life is not measured by how much you own.

[@blondsully]

Well done. I climbed Kili last Jan. Unfortunately winds were bad on the summit and we were ushered down quickly. We will just have to go back to get better pics of the summit.

[@Shuttertours]

What a wonderful story teller you are and the editing is some of the best I've seen on youtube.

[@TheAlriyamy]

the crew though! so energetic makes me want to climb up there!.. shame i am Tanzanian and i have not done it yet..

[@aroldcharles7753]

Doh..kila siku napanga sijakafanikiwa pia.. Kilimanjaro is awesome.. It is still one of my lifetime dream.. From Mwanza Tanzania..

[@stevebooker]

Smashed it man, great video! What an achievement!

[@TysonTRAVEL]

Cheers bro :) Lets do more big trips like this !!

[@Kathy_Is_Blessed]

So proud of all of you guys!🥺🙏🥳

[@dbmadventures5377]

Brilliant video. This took me back to my climb. It is not an easy journey but it was one well worth doing. To date, it is one of the hardest things that I have yet done, but it is the one thing I look back at and say I climbed Kilimanjaro so I can do anything.
