A hike to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro. The drone views of the volcanic terrain warmed my heart :)
🔸️Above the gently rolling hills and plateaux of northern Tanzania rises the snowy peak of Mt. Kilimanjaro, it’s slopes and glaciers shimmering above the rising clouds.
The mountain’s ecosystems are as strikingly beautiful, as they are varied and diverse, providing home to thousands of species of flora and fauna.

A trip up Killimanjaro’s slopes on New Years Eve
From desert to rain forest to glacial, Mount
is home to the 8 primary terra ecosystems. Depending on where you begin your hike you can actually experience all 8 as you leave the desert floor and make your way up Africa’s tallest mountain. Here’s a small collection of time lapses I shot along the way up in 2015.

This video was shot over two trips starting in Moshi town, to reach Uhuru peak, standing at 5895m Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa.
The first route we took was the easy-going Lemosho route in February 2018, during our ascent we encountered the worst storm and snowfall in 25 years.
Machame route started off a little harder but quickly joins the Lemosho which we completed in September 2018.Thanks to the great effort by Adventure Alternative and the Becoming X foundation we managed to pull off a world first - to legally fly a drone on the summit of Kilimanjaro.
Like with any of my work done on Kilimanjaro, I would like to thank the porters working relentlessly around the clock on this spectacular volcano. Helping tourists from around the world including myself reach the summit of their dreams.
This video would not have been so easy to produce had it not been for the locals.For stock video please contact me directly danya@merumediahouse.com

In February 2018, my sister and I made another trip: Africa.
We started with the 7 day climb of Mt. Kilimanjaro. It was hard, but we made it to the top!
After that we rented a 4x4 land cruiser at Victoria Falls and drove through Botswana, Namibia and ended in Cape town.
In these 6 weeks we experienced a lot of new things.Too many to count.
So, with 6 weeks of filming in this continent I made a short edit with all the highlights of our trip.
Enjoy!Countries we visited:

Kilimanjaro
Cosmonaut Oleg Artemyev captured this gorgeous view of the Kilimanjaro volcanic complex sticking its head above a sea of clouds earlier this month. From this vantage point you can see both the central volcanic crater at the summit and the highest point in Africa, on the rim of that crater. The high point just to the edge of the crater is called Uhuru peak and a recent survey assessed it to reach 5891 meters above sea level.
