I just returned from safari and mt kilimanjaro. When I arrived at Kiliamjaro international airport, I asked someone where the wash room was ( he wanted a tip), after I used the wash room the attendant in there wanted a tip. After scanning my pack, I asked the money changer who directed me outside to an atm with an armed guard. The atm gave me $100 us dollars in 10,000 schilling notes. The guard wanted a tip. I went back inside the airport and asked the money changer for smaller notes which he gave me. My hotel shuttle driver met me outside for the 1 1/2 hr (53 km ) drive to my lodge in arusha. Tip 5-10 us dollars. On safari in serengeti and elsewhere there were no ATMs and no banks. My tip - take enough us dollars to exchange for schillings - its a must. But the fantastic animals , walking mt kilimanjaro , is worth doing and the wonderful people I met as a single mature woman made me feel very safe. :)

Great to hear that WWT has added two trips late April and early May 2025.

Looking forward to seeing more details of this trip on the website!

Are trekking polls really so necessary ??Please reply soon..we are going in a month of may

One question ? They take the picture At the AirPort we do y need to take one with us?

You videos are a great help, the best series out there

Great... but Customs and Immigration are big different 🙂

What would Jesus say ?

Кто-то насыпал карьерной отработки, а людишки летают, любуются "природой".

Guy has funny notions about the ‘dirty tea house blankets.’ With such an attitude, he might get kicked by every tea house owner all the way of the trek. If only they knew.

Absolutely stunning views thank you and y'all get down safely❤❤

Thanks that was so inspirational!

Hi I plan to follow your instructions to the T. Can you also give approx weight of a backpack with all in as I plan to do it without Porter and without guide

19300 feet in umlig La pass India is world's highest motorable road. Why walking just drive at same height

Great video! Looking forward to this trip sometime soon!

I think I'll bring two DSLR bodies and about 6 or 7 lenses and 30 batteries

I suppose you get all kinds of people on your trips. Maybe in the past most if not all trekkers were outdoors enthusiasts used to hiking and lengthy camping trips but not anymore. Still this "8 week training regiment to walk" sounds funny to an old school trekker like me. Nutrition = something to eat...

Looks great! Can't wait until your trek in October!

What was the temperature when you were atop Kala Patthar?

Thanks for the updated EBC videos. Very helpful!

Can't wait! See you in October 2024!

The Nepalese name for Everest "Sagarmatha" was actually taken into use in early sixties, it is not an original name for the mountain. Only Sherpas & Tibetans had name for it, Chomolungma.

Do have plans to put this trip back on the trip calendar anytime soon?

Hi , does Cruise ship issue the PDI slip for those who entered Chile ? Thx

I’m watching this like I’m planning on climbing. I can barely be bothered to climb out of my bed to get my charger 😂 I find all videos regarding Everest fascinating.

Appreciate the frank discussion of ailments that can occur during the trip and how to deal with them. Alas, it is part of traveling to remote places.

I agree with Michael. Well done and super helpful.

Nice update from the older videos. Appreciate the detail about staying warm in the teahouses-- and WWT providing the needed puff jacket!

Brilliant and useful video. Thank you very much.

Wow, I’m from Winnipeg and stumbled upon your video…no clue people came here to train for polar expeditions! Makes sense though!

Im intrested treking

Great! It is such a fun experience! We look forward to seeing you in Nepal!!

Thank you! Glad it was helpful!

I guess we can agree to disagree. The process of drinking water and excreting the waste helps you acclimatize.

Yes it is a nice view through the trees. It has grown in over the years as the trees have gotten bigger. I have seen it many times. This season on three trips it was out for two of them 👍🏽

Hi John! Thanks for the question. You can visit the local travel clinic and get some shots if you don’t already have them. You will want a current Tetanus shot (good for 10 years) Vaccines; Varicella, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, Measles, Mumps & Rubella. You most likely you already have some of these. You can also get Yellow fever & current Covid, although it is not required when traveling from the USA. We do recommend getting any vaccination’s at least a month prior to the trip incase you experience any side effects. We hope to see you in Nepal in 2024!

Are there standard shots that EBC potential trekkers with WWT should get from their physician before arriving in Katmandu, Nepal. Hoping to join your team in Fall2024. Thank you.

For those not stuck in the rut with trekking packages can use the spectacular Mong La - Phortse - Pangpoche High Scenic Trail high on the opposite side of the valley instead of the low Tengboche highway. Amazing views, lots of wildlife and practically no other trekkers. Takes same amount of days, offers more adventure. Once through Tengboche on the way down is enough.

Why would you need trekking pole holders on the daypack? Are you not supposed to use those poles? Looks idiotic when people carry to poles where they are most needed. And please, show them how to wrap the straps properly over the back of the hand!

smart wool from clever animals for stupid hunan brings...

I thought sherper was someone who "sherps" for a living. They always talk about sherpas as an occupation on the news when climbers get into an accident.

Very helpful, thank you

I wonder how many "flat earthers" sign up for this adventure??

Looks great Dean! I'm very excited to be registered for your Oct. 8th trek next year!

Good procedures most (Nepalese) operators dismiss. Two thoughts: does your check list include Lake Louise AMS criteria also? Secondly: You also stress hydration. Naturally people need to drink water, but actually drinking a lot does not improve acclimatisation, drinking too much is a hinderance. I had an interesting email discussion about this with Dr Peter Hackett, the foremost altitude medicine expert in the world, and he told slightly dehydrated and euhydrated persons acclimate equally well. He himself does not drink anything extra when trekking at high altitude and carries no water between lodges. Thirst works as an indicator just as it does at home. And he drinks beer just like I do. There is no medical proof that drinking a lot of water helps against AMS, and no known mechanism how it could. Keep up your good work!

Good point about a Gortex "raincoat" not keeping you totally dry in pouring rain and using an umbrella or poncho if the rain gets too heavy

Monsoon tends to last longer nowadays. Clearest time now seems to be late November to early December. Cold but clear, no crowds. Possible to visit the real location of EBC not just stop at the stupid rock.
