Good promo video for a local tour guide (Mauly Tours) to help with your climb up Mount Kilimanjaro. This video covers some of the facts about this African landmark, and also has great video clips of both the mountain and animal life in Tanzania.

It's been some time since I've posted due to our recent trip, so thought I'd start off with a nice, soft-sell promotional video from Tanzanian African Safaris. This video has some good information, but more importantly some beautiful photos of this part of eastern Africa, notably Tanzania, the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater, as well as a section on climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. This would certainly motivate anyone to visit!

This is the third and final installment of this video that follows a Canadian couple summiting Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, and like the two previous episodes, is very honest and graphic in the difficulty they face. You can see how difficult the trek has been for him, while she has generally been better prepared physically. Of course the highlight is the long surge towards the peak, and watching daylight break over this part of Africa.

This is a continuation of the Canadian couple's Kilimanjaro trek video I posted yesterday. It looks like they caught some pretty bad weather - I remember last year our friends who summited Kili had pretty decent weather. I also remember the "Milo" chocolate drink that's referred to towards the beginning! It's quite funny how stoic and much better prepared the woman is than the man.

This is the first of three video in a series detailing a Canadian couple's journey to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, Africa. This first section gives a brief background into the couple's training, some glimpses of their safari, then moves quickly into their trek adventure. I really liked that this short documentary is very honest about the trials and tribulations of summiting the mountain - from weather, fatigue, sickness, bowel movements, this video series doesn't hold back. I'll be posting the rest of the series in the coming days...
