The guide of the 7 Summits Club Alexander Dorojukov reports from Tanzania:  The group "Let's Give the Heat" reached the Kikileva camp (3630 m). We walked cheerfully, on the road we wandered into a couple of caves.  The weather was more or less good. The summit of Kilimanjaro opened only in the late afternoon, on the way we took pictures against the background of the volcano Mavenzi. Now we are having dinner and will rest.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Alexander Dorojukov reports from Tanzania:

Greetings from Tanzania! A new group "Let's Give Heat" begins its route to Mount Kilimanjaro. Because of the fires on the slopes, we had to change our route. We were going to go along the Marangu, but in the end we go along the Rongai route. We moved to the entrance to the National Park. Now we have lunch and then we move out on the route.

Jumbo! Tanzania is in touch! Today the Iskorka group made a successful ascent on the top of Kilimanjaro, Uhuru Peak 5895 meters.  We went out at 12 o'clock at night and met a beautiful dawn with a view of Mavenzi. The ascent was not easy, but we coped and at 09:30 stood at the top. There is also a record in our group - one of the participants Dmitry Tararin made his first ascent at the age of 17!

The members, tired but happy, went down the mountain. Tomorrow, according to the plan, is a rest day and an award ceremony. The guides of the program are Alexander Dorojukov and Olga Startseva.

Greetings from Tanzania! The Iskorka group ascended to the Kibo assault camp, the height of 4720 meters. Now we have lunch, rest, and come to our senses after more than six hours of walking. The height is already felt, members conditions are within normal limits. At night, around 24:00, we go out to storm the summit.  The weather conditions are favorable. Wish us good luck! The guides of the program are Alexander Dorojukov and Olga Startseva.

Джамбо! Группа «Искорка» на связи из Танзании. Сегодня день отдыха и акклиматизации. Мы прошли от лагеря Хоромбо до красочных Зебровых скал, поднялись на высоту 4000 метров и увидели Килиманджаро во всей красе. Отдохнули с чаепитием и видом на вершину. Мы оценили маршрут и уже с нетерпением ждем его. Гора на первый взгляд не сложная, но придется потрудиться! Погода замечательная, настроение бодрое, вся команда чувствует себя хорошо. Завтра переезжаем в штурмовой лагерь Кибо. Ведущие программы - Александр Дорожуков и Ольга Старцева.

Friends, hello to all from Tanzania! Today we were greeted by the bright sun and the singing of birds. We had breakfast and held a morning medical check-up for the whole Iskorka group. All feel great, saturation is 90+. The Mandara Hut pleased with its accommodation in fairly comfortable cabins for 4 people. Yesterday we passed a picturesque and uncomplicated passage, met waterfalls, small rivers, exotic plants and animals. We were moving towards the Horombo camp (3760 m). On the way 15 km, a set of 1000 meters. The first meeting with Kilimanjaro took place! Kibo Cone and Mawenzi Peak appeared to us. We got to Khorombo a little tired, but happy.

The guides of the program are Alexander Dorojukov and Olga Startseva.

The group of the 7 Summits Club "Iskorka" has arrived in Tanzania. Yesterday we stayed at the Aisha Machame Hotel, held a briefing and checked the equipment. Today we drove up to the gate of the Marangu Gate National Park (1894 meters), then we got permits and went to the Mandara hut with a height difference of 900 meters. Nature pleases with bright colors of flowers and plants. We managed to get acquainted with the local inhabitants of the hotel - small nimble monkeys and fluffy rabbits. The weather favors us, there was a little rain in the morning, but now the sun is shining. Wish us good luck! The guides Alexander Dorojukov and Olga Startseva are in touch.

We continue our high-altitude trekking along the Machame route to the summit  of Kilimanjaro. The group has acquired a name these days - "In search of the baobab". Day three. The move from the Shira camp 3800m through the Lava Tower (4600m) to the Baranko camp 3950m, is perhaps the most stressful in the whole trekking. But the group made it with dignity. The weather was favorable.

A guide of the 7 Summits Club Alexander Spirin reports from Tanzania:

The morning started at night. A difficult rocky walk, as long as the night itself.  A glowing chain on the slope and pink, predawn, promising something kind, a thin strip anticipating the sunrise.  And we are at Stella point, hugging each other, and then another hour and a half of snuffling to the main peak, a bottle of champagne in honor of the summit and Misha's birthday. And then the descent, long, dusty, tired. And in the evening there was a celebration: climbing and birthday, cake, champagne and the Millennium camp at an altitude of 3700, conversations, stories and great mood. Tired and satisfied, we return home, in parallel we are planning a new travel with the 7 Summits Club!  Guides 2 Alex: Abramov and Spirin.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Alexander Spirin reports from Tanzania:

It's good that we are cats, the cats thought today, spread their claws and as a beautiful panther in a single rush climbed the most difficult rock of the route - Baranco Wall. After it, there were new up and down, united in one thing: discouraging, breathtaking and heart-pounding views of Kilimanjaro. And all this acquired an even more dizzying coloring thanks to endless stories about cases from mountaineering life, and just the life of our experienced guides. After drowning the crimson African sun in snow-white clouds, we started dinner…

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Alexander Spirin reports from Tanzania:

Our team is called "Wet Cats"! "Wet pussies" are the guides' fantasies! Cats love comfort and beauty, which African nature has offered us in abundance today. It enveloped us with rocky landscapes overgrown with indescribable endemics, mysterious caves and blue "Roerich" mountains in the distance. We walked smoothly, almost like a cat, overcoming difficult stone passages. In the camp, as a bonus, the Tanzanian part of the group organized a local disco, where our cats did not lag behind in joy from the Kilimanjarian dances. The evening was lulled by a romantic sunset. And tomorrow will be a new day…

Alexandra's guides: Abramov and Spirin.

A guide of the 7 Summits Club Alexander Spirin reports from Tanzania:

Hello everyone from Africa!  Today, on the International Mountaineering Day, our program of climbing Kilimanjaro starts. To begin with, we visited two museums.  We spent an unforgettable hour in the snake museum: we saw black, green and other mambas, graceful cobras, beautiful pythons and other dangerous and not very dangerous snakes. As well as crocodiles of different models and turtles, the oldest of which is already a pensioner -75 years old is no joke. After that, we went to a cool museum dedicated to the culture and life of the Masai. It is very informative, especially the initiation of a man into warriors by circumcising his spear.  In the evening, a delicious dinner and congratulations on the mountaineering holiday were waiting for us at the hotel. The guides of the group are two Alexandrs: Abramov and Spirin.
