DVD Reviews of Kilimanjaro - The Way It Is; Volume 1: The Western Breach
DVD Review: Worthwhile for those considering a Kili trek - but a bit rough around the edges.
Summary: 4 Stars
If you're considering a trek up Kilimanjaro - this video is a nice overview of the Western Breach route, and informative on what to expect from a competent outfitter. Take notes and you'll probably have some good questions to ask an outfitter (regardless of the route you take) before making your deposit. For that reason alone it is worthwhile.
The only caveats:
- It's produced by a Kili outfitter. Naturally there is some bias toward their company. That element doesn't overly dominate To their credit, they seem to offer some compelling services - an all-inclusive package, chemical toilets, showers, that many outfitters omit.
- This is not a glitzy docu-film like the IMAX video that's available. It doesn't really compromise the video - but it's worthwhile to have your expectations in check. Most of the video is shot handheld with associated narration, and some of the maps and similar are actual video of a paper map. The upside to this is that it comes across a bit more 'real' than a high-dollar production.
If you're considering a trek up Kilimanjaro and haven't done a lot of research - this is probably a good place to start.

Description of Kilimanjaro - The Way It Is; Volume 1: The Western Breach
WINNER! 4 TELLY AWARDS! 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 to the top of Kibo via the Western Breach, and down to Mweka Camp. Experience each day of the climb, from breakfast to dinner. Watch 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! Do not climb Kilimanjaro without watching this film!Bestsellers in DVD
