Kilimanjaro Climb - Full 6 Day Machame Route

[@barikung]

Congratulations on the successful hike ! It looked gnarly but the spectacular scenery at the peak is priceless ! I would like to do it some day, probably this year, and ran into your videos for the trip planning. Thank you for sharing !

[@BillyKhach]

Thank you! Best of luck in your trip planning and climb! Hope you get to see the views first hand.

[@barikung]

@ Based on what I watched on the video, you did solo-travel to Tanzania ? Did you visit other countries nearby ?

[@BillyKhach]

@ I did travel solo. It was during Covid and Tanzania was one of the only countries with no restrictions so I stayed in the country. I went on safari after the climb and then to Zanzibar. I would highly recommend both.

[@barikung]

​@@BillyKhach That was a great decision to escape the civilization and COVID into the nature ! Rather, the travel and the tour prices must be insanely cheap due to the slump in demand. Did you live in the high elevation ( in the US I assume ?) and get acclimated there before this hike ?

[@stephenurasa]

i watch this video may be 10 times n still cant get enough its amazing no one will watch without booking to climb it, especially scene on the rock and walking in the glaciers like wall its amazing

[@BillyKhach]

You have no idea how much I appreciate that. Thank you man! Kilimanjaro truly is an epic experience

This is one of the best videos on the real insight climb of Mt Kili. It is one of the climb in my bucket list and after watching this video, very inspiring to do one soon. Thank you Billy. A great and amazing video

[@BillyKhach]

Really appreciate that Jaya. It was a one of a kind experience and I can't recommend it enough. I hope you get to see for yourself soon. Good luck on the climb!

[@nuclearpenguin99]

i did this exact route about two weeks ago, with some truly amazing people. hands down one the best experiences of my life, strange seeing it without so many people tho

[@BillyKhach]

Congratulations on your climb Garin. Couldn't agree more, truly an experience like none other.

[@ambatunat.]

is it hard to summit kilimanjaro using this route or is it just regular hiking like in the 2000 m mountains

[@nuclearpenguin99]

@@ambatunat. I think it's a fairly middle difficulty route. There's a couple spots which proved challenging and then also some easy bits as well. More challenging than a 2k mountain for sure

[@krishnamadasu]

Great. Job Most under rated video..

[@BillyKhach]

Thanks Kris!

[@hordur2012]

Amazing to see you all alone on the mountain, I my self went on Mt. Meru and the Whiskey route in 2015 and nobody was on Meru and not so many on Kilimanjaro, but nothing like this. Thank you for the video.

[@BillyKhach]

It really was amazing to have the mountain so quiet like that. I wish I had time to climb Meru as well. Congrats on your summit and thanks for watching.

Hi Loved this video. It's Amazing.... From India 😍😍😍😍

Thanks for watching Usha!

[@jakedibiase7404]

Great footage. Really enjoyed this. This actually looked like a significantly more difficult route than a lot of the other videos of the climb I’ve seen on here.

[@BillyKhach]

Thanks for watching Jake! Appreciate the comment. The weather definitely added a factor during this go at it.

[@conniethingstad1070]

cool. my son just finished the Lemosho route a couple weeks ago. makes me appreciate his climb even more.

[@BillyKhach]

Awesome, congrats to your son!

[@kokiiry]

What a video Billy. A little correction though, the guides told me the same thing about the Giant Senacio only growing in Kili but I've seen in Kenya as well, I've seen it on Mt. Kenya and along the Aberdares Ranges.

[@BillyKhach]

Thanks for watching! I was told the same by the guides and after learned of other Dendrosenecio plants on other mountains such as Mt Kenya; but I believe they are a different subspecies. In hindsight I should have specified the sub-species Dendrosenecio kilimanjari, which is only found on Kilimanjaro.

[@kokiiry]

@@BillyKhach correct. Anyway, I've just found out about you today, love the content. Subscribed.

Did the exact same climb but in January 2021, so nice to be hiking without the big crowds! Are you thinking about Mount Elbrus next?

[@BillyKhach]

Congrats on the summit! I hope to go for Aconcagua next...what’s the next one you’re shooting for?

[@katarzynaczepiela9132]

@@BillyKhach Thanks and congrats to you too! I live in Europe so Elbrus is both cheaper and closer one, but been looking into Aconcagua as well! Although I am little intimidated by the altitude :D Are you planning to climb in December/January?

[@BillyKhach]

@@katarzynaczepiela9132 awesome! I definitely hope to get to Elbrus soon as well. And yes! Probably going to go to peru over the summer for some climbs and then Aconcagua in December. So nice to have travel open again

Hi absolutely sick video. Just wondering what video and camera equipment you used? So sick

[@BillyKhach]

Thanks Geordie! Really appreciate that. I used just a GoPro hero 9 for the entire thing with a few different mounts. Nothing fancy but that little camera packs a punch.

Hi! This is looking so amazing! Could you share the agency you booked the climb with? Thank you ☺️

[@BillyKhach]

I would recommend contacting my guide, Kelvin, directly. His e-mail is [e-mail] . If he's on an expedition it may be a few days until he responds but I can't recommend him enough. The local guides often work with multiple agencies and they truly make or break the trip. Thanks for watching and good luck!

[@brianadams9985]

Hey Billy. Awesome video. We're going in January. I'm curious about your layering. It looks like you're in your orange HH puffer most of the time. Midweight? Heavyweight? Can you let me know the model? Any other words of wisdom? Thanks and nice work on the climb and the making of the video.

[@BillyKhach]

Hey Brian. First off thanks and best of luck on your upcoming climb! The HH puffer was midweight and I layered underneath with t-shirts, an insulated quarter zip, and a sweater. All quick drying and microbial fabrics. One thing I did not pack that I would say is a must is a true waterproof shell. I had to resort to garbage bags on a few days and the last thing you want is your insulating layers to get wet because they won't dry out in the tent at night. The only night of SERIOUS cold was the final push to the summit. Once the sun comes up you'll start to cook so definitely be in a position to easily peel off layers when that happens. Definitely some polarized sunglasses and sunscreen too.... The sun is STRONG on the descent from the summit. Other than this I'd say just enjoy the climb! It isn't super difficult or technical. As long as you acclimate to the altitude properly you'll be golden. Best!

[@brianadams9985]

Hey Billy! We made it… thanks for your hints… They actually were very helpful. We only had one bad day of rain, but the rest of it was pretty good weather. A little cloudy… But I’ll take that over pouring rain. Again, thanks for your advice and your reply. Happy new year 2023! kzbin.info/www/bejne/n6qQnHR7nriBkJY

Amazing well-done What camera did you use.

[@BillyKhach]

Thanks Lester! I filmed everything on my GoPro Hero 9 for this one.

[@junk301]

Hey Billy, awesome video. I am planning my own trek after watching this. Do you think the 6 days on the mountain was enough?

[@BillyKhach]

Hey Martin, thanks for watching. I definitely feel like 6 days was enough. The pace is very slow due to the acclimitization process with a lot of time to relax at camp and take in the views.

[@kiliclimb5720]

It takes at least five days to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. However, a minimum of six days, and ideally seven or eight, offers a far better chance of reaching the top. For those with longer to spare, there are several more gradual and scenic ascent routes that can be done over 10 or more days.

[@theMark5445]

Very nice and good video, but a bit sad that the background music is so loud and your voice is so low.

[@BillyKhach]

Best I could do with just a GoPro and a solar charger to keep it going. Thanks for watching!

[@theMark5445]

@@BillyKhach No problem, still a great video! Hopefully I’ll do the same route within this year.

[@user-io9mt4mg7q]

Thanks Billy! Any recommendations on the company to hire? Was it any internet connection available on the route? Any tips on saving money? :)

[@BillyKhach]

For saving money I would recommend hiring a local guide service. Basically the exact same service that doesn't have to pay exorbitant taxes to operate there. I would recommend reaching out to [e-mail] about a local guide service. If you can't get him reach out to Paul Shayo trekking. There was absolutely no internet connection or cell service along the route. Hope this helps!

[@scooterbey220]

Loved your video and we will be going up end of May. We hope to have a similar experience with lower crowds. If I may ask, I really liked how you edited your video, what camera were you using and what editing program did you use? The 3D pathing of your climb was especially interesting and something I've not seen in other videos. I'm still learning how to edit and create interesting videos so I appreciate any tips you might share. Good luck on your climbs, Acon is high on my list for the next peak as well so I look forward to following along and learning from your experiences.

[@BillyKhach]

Thanks! and best of luck with the upcoming climb. I'm sure you'll find Kili to be a mind blowing experience. For this video I used Adobe premier elements for editing. It's simple to use though admittedly seems to lack some of the "oomph" other programs have for features like detailed audio editing, transitions, and title pages. The 3D path was created using an app called Relive. It will turn any recorded activity with GPS tracking into a video on a topography map like that. I did a one week trial of the paid version to get the more detailed topo map for this video. Super simple to use and then import the video into Adobe like any other clip. Good luck on your climbs as well and thanks for checking this out.
