News. Africa. Tanzania. Hello everyone! Our new expedition to Kilimanjaro has started, and with it the next series of Alexander Abramov's project "7 volcanoes in 77 days". Kilimanjaro should become the third summit in this project. Alex has already climbed Elbrus (Russia) and Damavand (Iran) and is now flying to Tanzania to catch up with the group. Guide Evgeny Fedyunin reports on the team's first day.

November 1st. Jambo Rafiki!

A new group from the 7 Summits Club, called "Chameleons", flew to the foot of Kilimanjaro today to trek and climb Uhuru Peak 5895m along the Marangu route! The day flew by in solving organizational issues, checking equipment and relaxing a little in the park of the Aishe Machame Hotel!

Three participants who arrived early managed to go on an excursion with a visit to a coffee plantation and the Materuni waterfall! In the evening, they watched the "Maasai show", an ethnographic performance of nomads living in Tanzania and Kenya.

Tomorrow we start on the route. Good luck to everyone!

The 7 Summits Club guide Dmitry Semenov reports from Nepal:

Greetings from mountainous Nepal! Today, on a rest day, our group visited the Everest View high-mountain hotel, located at an altitude of 3885 meters. Unfortunately, the weather did not allow us to see Everest and other peaks. But on the way back, we visited a monastery in the village of Khumjun, where we saw an exposed yeti scalp. The day was meaningful, full of impressions. Tomorrow is a new trek, we are moving along the path to our goal.
