Olga Rumyantseva, the guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Tanzania:

Greetings from Tanzania from the group "Red suitcases" from the slopes of Kilimanjaro! Today we moved to the Shira camp at an altitude of 3,800 meters. Despite the terrifying forecasts, we were very lucky with the weather. The rain soaked us quite a bit.

Therefore, our journey, during which we could observe the change of natural zones and the appearance of amazing plants, was pleasant and beautiful. After we arrived at the camp, we had lunch and went for a short walk, during which we looked at the cave and a little at the snow-covered slopes of Kilimanjaro.

And then we had an introduction ceremony with the local team, during which everyone sang and danced. In general, it was fun. In the evening, the clouds stretched out, and we saw Kilimanjaro in all its glory.

Olga Rumyantseva, a guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Tanzania:

Hello everyone from Tanzania! The first group did not have time to leave, as the second group of those wishing to climb Kilimanjaro had already arrived. This time we have a large team, which decided to start by calling itself "Red Suitcases".
So, today we started our journey, starting from the gates of the national park and reaching the Machame camp at an altitude of 3000 meters. It had been raining since the morning, which accompanied us almost the whole way. Only at the end did it stop, and even the sun came out. The weather is disgusting, that's for sure. The forecasts are disappointing. But we do not lose optimism and try to have fun to the fullest.

Olga Rumyantseva, a guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Tanzania:
Hello everyone from Tanzania! Today, our Mamba group climbed the highest mountain in Africa - Kilimanjaro. We started climbing at 11 p.m. It's still 2023.
But at exactly midnight, the entire slope along which the ascent to the volcano passes, densely dotted with chains of lanterns, resounded with joyful shouts and songs.
Few people manage to celebrate the New Year in such an unusual environment. We were walking pretty fast, so we went out to Stella Point in the dark.
There was another surprise waiting for us. One of our guides wore a Santa Claus costume. That's how we walked to the top of the crater - with Santa. To the delight of us, to the envy of all, watching the picturesque sunrise on the way.

Olga Rumyantseva, a guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Tanzania:
Greetings from Tanzania from the Mamba team! While the whole civilized world is cutting salads and dressing up to celebrate the New Year, we are slowly but steadily approaching the summit of Kilimanjaro.
Today we moved to the Kosovo camp, which is located at an altitude of 4870 meters, from where we will start at 11 p.m. So we'll celebrate the New Year somewhere along the way.

Olga Rumyantseva, the guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Tanzania:
Greetings from the slopes of Kilimanjaro from the Mambo team! Today we made a long and difficult trek to the Baranko camp. In the morning, we climbed to the Lava Tower camp, gaining 700 meters and reaching an altitude of 4,600. We had lunch there, after which we continued our journey and went down to the Baranko camp.
Despite the fact that it was a hard day, it was pleased with the beautiful views, the change of natural belts, beautiful stone structures made of lava and, of course, unusual plants senecia.
We were lucky with the weather. A little rain fell while we were having lunch and were in the tent. And on the descent, the sky cleared so that we saw the grandiose wall of Kilimanjaro peak.

Olga Rumyantseva, a guide of the 7 SummitsClub, reports from Tanzania:
Greetings from the Mamba group from the slopes of Kilimanjaro! Today was a difficult but wonderful day for us. Today we reached the Shira Cave camp at an altitude of 3900 meters. We went through several climatic zones, starting the ascent in the forest, where the trees are densely covered with moss, and ended up in an area almost devoid of vegetation.
Along the way, we had to climb over rocks, overcome streams and small rock walls. After arriving at the camp and having a little rest, we walked to the cave. After that, a ceremony was held to introduce the team to songs and dances. And the weather pampered us today. We managed to dry all the things that got wet yesterday and admire the beautiful views.

Olga Rumyantseva, a guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Tanzania:
Hello everyone from Tanzania! Today our group, which decided to call itself Mamba, left the hotel in the morning and went to the beginning of the climb to Kilimanjaro. After a little preparation, we started climbing through the amazing jungle, where monkeys were jumping.
Our climb was complicated by a gushing torrential rain. We waited out the main streams, but we had to walk in the rain most of the way anyway. Despite this, everyone still liked the very beautiful forest. We hope to be able to dry tomorrow.

Olga Rumyantseva, a guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Tanzania:

Hello everyone from Tanzania! Today, the first group of the winter season of the 7 Summits Club gathered at the foot of Kilimanjaro. Tomorrow we will go on the route. Today, using our free time, the band members went on an excursion, saw coffee plantations and a waterfall. And we also went to the market by local tuk-tuk transport.
In the evening, we had a briefing and distribution of gifts from the 7 Summits Club.

Greetings from the Zvyanginstein Adventures group to everyone from Tanzania! Today we went up to the assault camp of Kosovo at an altitude of 4900 meters, from where we will go out at night to climb. Everyone feels good. It's snowing outside, but we hope that the weather will improve by the time we leave.

Super-guide of the 7 Summits Club Olga Rumyantseva reports from Tanzania:

 Greetings to all from Tanzania from the Zvyaginstein Adventures group! This morning we made a climb up the Baranko wall - a march with light climbing elements. After climbing the wall, we continued our way to the Karanga camp (4035m). Unfortunately, we were covered by a cloud, so our way passed without any views.

In the camp, the cloud never left. Therefore, we spent the rest of the day mentally preparing for tomorrow's climbing to the assault camp and for the summit, hiding from the drizzling rain.

The-guide of the 7 Summits Club Olga Rumyantseva reports from Tanzania:

 Greetings from Tanzania, from the Zvyaginstein Adventures team! The second day of our ascent to Kilimanjaro. As usual, in the morning we parted with our bunnies, who warmed us all night, had breakfast, held a medical check-up and went for a walk. We climbed through the beautiful places to the Shira camp at an altitude of 3900 meters.

In the camp we rested a little and went for a walk a little more, to look at the cave and other beautiful views.  After the walk, we had a traditional ceremony of getting to know the team.  In total, 42 people work with our group, thanks to which climbing Kilimanjaro becomes incredibly comfortable.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Olga Rumyantseva reports from Tanzania:

 Greetings from Tanzania from the slopes of Kilimanjaro!  Today, a new group of the 7 Summits Club called "Zvyaginstein's Adventures" has entered the route. In the morning we left the hotel, drove to the gates of the National park, checked our belongings and started climbing the mountain to the Machame camp.

The road on the first day goes through the jungle, where there is a lot of greenery and mossy trees. But closer to the camp, the trees become lower, and the jungle ends. In five hours we reached the camp. That was the end of our first day.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Olga Rumyantseva reports from Tanzania:

 Greetings from Tanzania from the "Russian crocodiles"!  That's the end of our trip to Kilimanjaro.  This morning we woke up at the Millennium Camp at 3800. After climbing and a sleepless night, sleep was especially sweet. But we didn't have to sleep long.

In the morning, we were waiting for a farewell ceremony with the team. Many songs were sung and many kind words were said.  And then we walked through the jungle for almost 15 kilometers to the exit from the national park.  Today is Stanislav's birthday. So our trip ended with a birthday cake.

In the evening, an award ceremony will be held for all participants of the ascent. And tomorrow everyone will leave - some will go home, and some will continue their journey through Tanzania and go on safari.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Olga Rumyantseva reports from Tanzania:

Greetings from Tanzania from Russian crocodiles! Today our group made a full ascent on the top of Kilimanjaro. It was not easy and very cold (hello to everyone who doubts whether to take a warm down jacket to Tanzania), but incredibly beautiful.

After climbing, we went down to the assault camp, rested for a while and continued on our way to the Millennium camp, where we had a long-awaited rest.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Olga Rumyantseva reports from Tanzania:

Greetings to all from Tanzania from the group Russian Crocodiles! Today we gathered without haste and moved to the assault camp of Kosovo at an altitude of 4900 meters, from where we will go out at night to storm Kilimanjaro. Everyone feels good. The mood is cheerful. I hope that it will remain like this until the top.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Olga Rumyantseva reports from Tanzania:

Greetings to all from Tanzania from the Russian crocodiles group! Sunny weather was waiting for us this morning, so we dried all the things that got wet yesterday and continued our journey.

Today we climbed up the Baranko wall - a very exciting event.  We had a tea party at the top of the wall, and then we continued our way to the Karanga camp along a very beautiful road overlooking the snows of Kilimanjaro.  As a result, it turned out to be a very beautiful and very relaxed day.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Olga Rumyantseva reports from Tanzania:

 Greetings to all from Tanzania from the Russian crocodiles group!  Today we had a difficult day. We had to climb to the Lava Tower camp at an altitude of 4600 meters, and then go down to Barranco camp, which is located at an altitude of 3900 meters.

The weather decided to add its own difficulties to the difficulties of the march. Already somewhere in the middle of the way, clouds caught up with us. And then we went into the drizzle clouds.  And while we were having lunch, it started raining heavily. So then we walked in the rain for several hours and got wet. That did not prevent us from enjoying the beautiful route and unusual plants.

And today we have a special evening event. One member of our group, Victor, has a birthday today. So in the evening we had a birthday cake.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Olga Rumyantseva reports from Tanzania:

Hello everyone from Tanzania!  From the Unreal crocodiles group, who, however, on the second day decided to change their name to Russian crocodiles.  Today is the second day of our journey to Kilimanjaro. It's not easy, because the path goes steeply up. But it is a very beautiful path among the trees decorated with moss.

After we arrived at the second camp, we had lunch and went for a walk. And after the walk, we had a ceremony of getting to know the team, which ended with stormy songs and dances. And this is at an altitude of almost 4000 meters. So everyone feels good.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Olga Rumyantseva reports from Tanzania:

 Arriving at the gates of the national park, we checked our equipment, gathered, had a snack and went on the route.  Today our path passed through the jungle among unusual plants: trees whose shy crowns did not close, forming a pattern, tree ferns, mosses. The trek turned out to be pleasant and very beautiful. In five hours we walked 11 km, climbed 1200 meters and came to the first camp called Machame.

Greetings to all from Tanzania from the Amateurs group! Today our group in full ascended the summit of Kilimanjaro. Yesterday we went up to Kibo camp, where there was no communication at all. So there was no way to share with you our worries before climbing.

And at midnight we went out to climb. The assault day on the Marangu route is quite difficult, and it was not easy for all of us. But we managed. And by the evening we went down to the Horombo camp at 3700.
