In this episode of Million Ways to Live, author and documentary filmmaker, Luke Sniewski, along with Ultimate Kilimanjaro professional mountain guide, Elibahati, show what it takes to climb Mount Kilimanjaro.

The importance of having competent, high quality guides cannot be overstated when it comes to climbing Mount Kilimanjaro.

When it comes to Kilimanjaro guides, there are many licensed individuals who have collected hundreds of successful summits through their careers. Though it definitely helps, that alone does not make them skilled, competent guides. In addition to experience, competency comes from setting high standards of performance, continuously training to meet or exceed those standards, and maintaining a culture of professionalism.
