During this insane flight over the tallest mountain in Africa: Mount Kilimanjaro we test the airplane's ability to fly upto 21.000 feet. A big accomplishment for a small aircraft. Enjoy the stunning views over the peak from our small windows.
This is episode 10 of the Long way South Series; a 6-week journey flying the new Sling High Wing aircraft from The Netherlands to South-Africa.

Thank you Bambi and friend for taking us on this flight with you, I am 75 years old and would never be able to experience this but I felt like I was right in the plane with you guys fantastic!

Many moons ago I flew as Captain with Air Zimbabwe. B737 Harare to Nairobi route for awhile. Kili was almost always covered in cloud but one day it was clear and we descended early and did an orbit, actually a figure eight at 21000ft. Passengers were given a special treat and expressed much thanks? Thanks to you guys for igniting memories of that day. Well done you did it! Loving following your trip

I have flown from the age of 17 and I'm 66 now, both Prt and Commercially. With your outburst of emotion, it's clear that you have captured the true heart of flight. Thanks for taking us along!!!

You must have given the most hilarious moment to the climbers that day. Particularly those struggling on the steep slopes to the mountain rim, and those heading or already at the summit…..seeing a plane zooming around overhead, and flying past the crator, was undoubtedly an unforgettable moment to the climbers..!! A rare gift.

This for me is without a doubt the best vlog or adventure I've ever seen on KZfaq in recent years and I am tempted to say this is you guys' best video to date. You took us right on top of kilimanjaro and we now know how it looks like there at the summit of Kilimanjaro. Thanks a million for this video

But thank you for showing us your passion for flying and for meeting your goal of seeing Kilimanjaro from the air. It encourages me to keep pushing for the things I want to do in life. Happy Flying!

Hi Rosita, greetings from Argentina. One of the most amazing video yet, but with a twist. Even the music choice at that particular emotional/dramatic moment was superb, hard to match. Keep it up, guys. As always, cheers from NE Patagonia. BTW: it made ME a bit emotional when I saw your BF wearing a "Patagonia" jacketat the end.
