“Kilimanjaro - The Way It Is”, vividly details the complete Kilimanjaro experience in an unforgettable film documentary. Journey day by day with the spirited Kiliwarrior mountain team as they lead four climbers to the summit via the spectacular Western Breach route.
Take a look behind the scenes and see what it takes to organize a climb. Visit the famous hotels, and lodges in the vicinity of Kilimanjaro. Meet the guides and porters of Kilimanjaro. Participate in a gear inspection session. Get a cockpit view of the mountain from the air. Drive to the entrance of Kilimanjaro N. P. Watch the porters prepare for the climb. Follow the climb for 9 days from Lemosho to the summit via the Western Breach, and down to Mweka Camp. Experience each day of the climb, from breakfast to dinner. See the porters show their superhuman strength as they fast pace up the mountain. Hear the guides encourage the climbers when the going gets tough. Learn from an hour of briefings on topics such as packing, safety, health, nutrition, routes, etc. The breathtaking Western Breach of Kilimanjaro is the most talked-about and misunderstood route to the summit. This film shows the route like never before, enabling viewers to decide for themselves if this is the best route for them. Camping next to the disappearing Snows of Kilimanjaro (the retreating glaciers) is an experience not to be missed. Some say the glaciers will be gone in as little as 20 years!
