I will try to climb the rooftop of Africa - mt. Kilimanjaro by the Northern Circuit route - the longest of the established routes but it has the advantage of being much less crowded than the other ones and good for acclimatization. Let's see how that goes for me! 🏔️ C l i m b K i l i m a n j a r o w i t h F o l l o w A l i c e : https://bit.ly/followalicekili @FollowAlice - Follow Alice's YouTube channel Mount Kilimanjaro is a dormant volcano, it is the highest mountain in Africa and the highest single free-standing mountain above sea level in the world. Mt. Kilimanjaro is my second mountain out of the seven highest peaks of the world (links for the videos from mt. Elbrus below :) 📍 More videos: /watch/kBNK0HXfUOkfK - Mount Elbrus Russia | Full experience of Summit Climb (South route) /watch/MpVRWY8xkjtxR - Climbing the highest peak of Russia & Europe | Mt Elbrus by the North route /watch/k6GzDVbMZdFMz - Hiking in the Ural Mountains & visiting Europe / Asia border 📍https://elinabakunova.com/russianclub - my Russian Speaking Club where you can practice the Russian language.

@jackieow2 years ago You are right about this looking like western united states, especially colorado. If you like this type of trip you would like the grand canyon in arizona, where it is not so high and there is a lot more air to breathe, with a hike down to the river before the climb back up. If you want altitude, another great place is machu picchu in peru, where you can see the ancient roads and constructions of the incas. Great video production, as always. ...Expand 3
