I hiked Kilimanjaro February 2026 on the Machame Route organized by Eric Hanson.
Eric is one of the top hiking YouTubers. One of the reasons I signed up instantly when he posted this trip is for the superb video documentation.
Before you sign up for Kili, watch his 43 minute documentary in 4K.
Sure Kili is one of the easiest trekking peaks close to 6000m — but it ain’t easy.
This guided trek on the highest mountain in Africa is as good as it gets. Eric worked with Zara Tours, the biggest outfitter on the mountain. TrovaTrip handled logistics.

I put together a rough draft of my own video — before realizing that it would look bad in comparison with Eric’s epic edit.
