The guide of the 7 Summits Club Evgeny Fedyunin reports from Tanzania:

Jumbo Rafiki!  We still hope that the dry season has come… Sunny morning.. Morning Sir, coffee please! Life is good! Everyone feels great, their appetite is fine! The group "Mashujaa Tisa (Nine Knights)" of the 7 Summits Club, after greeting and the performance of the escort team, moved along the rocky path between the heather thickets to the next point of our route - the Shira plateau 3750m. Only a little fog was given from Moorland… We were on the Shira plateau by 13-00, not to mention triathlon lovers who came to the camp before noon! While you relax.. after lunch, let's go for a walk on the plateau, for the best acclimation! Guides Sergey Avtomonov and Evgeny Fedyunin.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Evgeny Fedyunin reports from Tanzania:

Hello everyone, from the slopes of Kilimanjaro!  The group "Mashujaa Tisa (Nine Knights)" of the 7 Summits Club is ready to start! The last preparation and departure to the Gate Machame Route. The jungle is calling again!  Today we are going to a height of 3000 meters. Guides Sergey Avtomonov and Evgeny Fedyunin.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Evgeny Fedyunin reports from Tanzania:

Jambo! Today is the descent and the award ceremony. The Akukaracha group of the 7 Summits Club decided that Kilimanjaro would just us let go. But the "dry season" made a joke again, and turned on a rainstorm in the jungle!

It was fun before the gate, and at the exit champagne and Kilimanjaro beer! There were medals in the evening..  Guides Avtomonov Sergey and Fedyunin Evgeny.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Evgeny Fedyunin reports from Tanzania:

Midnight rise, "hard night eating", everyone is grumbling a little ... The group " Akukaracha" of the 7 Summits Club begins night preparation ... the exit was scheduled for 00-00! We reached Stella Point (5756 m) right cheerfully, at 5-30 we were on the crater! A little tea and then pole pole…

At 7-00, the whole group and guides Sergey Avtomonov and Evgeny Fedyunin were at the top of Uhuru Peak 5895 m. Unlike the New Year's fuss, it was possible to take a picture and send greetings home! Only one participant set herself a high-altitude threshold of 4700, you can't argue with her health! By 9-30 we went down to the Kosovo assault camp, had a short nap, lunch, and today we need to drop another kilometer of altitude. We go further, to the Milenium camp 3800 m.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Evgeny Fedyunin reports from Tanzania:

Jambo Rafiki! Today, the Akukaracha group of the 7 Summits Club, without traffic jams, overcame the Baranko wall in 1.5 hours - much more pleasant than in the New Year's collapse! The only negative is the constant fog, and as a result, the lack of cool views and photos. On the way, we saw the consequences of the great October fire, the result of careless handling of fireworks - a very sad sight! We got to the camp Karanga 4030m by lunch.

After a very hearty lunch, fruit, guacamole... we hardly went for an acclimatization walk higher from the bivouac. And the food here is great! The whole group is happy!

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Evgeny Fedyunin reports from Tanzania:

Jambo Rafiki! The morning in Moorland, as always, is damp and humid. But it is worth leaving the tent, and beautiful views of the Kilimanjaro massif and Mount Meru 4562m are provided! The Akukaracha group of the 7 Summits Club continues its Machame Route today. Today is one of the most difficult days, the climb and drop of 900m altitude. According to the plan, first there is an acclimatization ascent to the Lava Tower 4640m, there is lunch.  Moorland is replaced by an Arctic desert, a kingdom of rocks, mosses and lichens.  The dry season, after all, is in no hurry ... drizzle, fog and dampness continue to bother at the crossings! The Lava Tower is hiding in the fog again. From Lava Tower, passing the valley of Senecio grass palms, we went down to Camp Baranco 3900m, we spend the night here, fog... For some participants, today's  trek has become a personal challenge and a real revelation, the discovery of their capabilities! The Baranko wall, as always, is impressive! Guides Sergey Avtomonov and Evgeny Fedyunin.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Evgeny Fedyunin reports from Tanzania:

It's raining again on the Shira plateau... The team of the 7 Summits Club under the guidance of super-guides Sergey Avtomonov and Evgeny Fedyunin safely reached the Shira camp, at an altitude of 3750m. A great hot lunch and a walk along the Shira plateau, everyone was inspired by a sleepy state. We did a great job, we can take a break ... We are waiting for dinner, everyone is happy!

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Evgeny Fedyunin reports from Tanzania:

Hello everyone, from the slopes of Kilimanjaro! Yesterday evening's briefing on the route went great! The 7 Summits Club group is still thinking about the name. Now the last gatherings and departure to the beginning of the route - Gate Machame Route. According to the plan today, the walk through the jungle, the height difference from 1800m to 3000m.  Super-guides Sergey Avtomonov and Evgeny Fedyunin were with you.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Evgeny Fedyunin reports from Tanzania:

And again, Jambo Rafiki!  A new group of the 7 Summits Club has arrived at Kilimanjaro Airport! Most of the participants are gathered ... Today we have an acquaintance, checking equipment and preparing to go on the route!

Super news from Tanzania! Our team led by guides Evgeny Fedyunin and Sergey Avtomonov in full force on New Year's Eve climbed the highest peak in Africa - Kilimanjaro volcano (5895 m). Together with our team, dozens of climbers from different countries of the world met the New Year 2023 on the mountain. For someone it was the first peak, for someone not the first, but memorable for a long time.  We are waiting for details and photos. Happy New Year to everyone!

News from Kilimanjaro. The guides of the 7 Summits Club, Evgeny Fedyunin and Sergey Avtomonov, report.  Jambo!  The group "Akuna Matata Rafiki" of the 7 Summits Club on December 28th met the morning on the border of equatorial forests and heather thickets at an altitude of 3000m. Everyone feels great! Through the clouds, we were greeted by the summit of Uhuru Peak 5895m, the highest point of Mount Kibo in the Kilimanjaro massif. The weather today is not particularly pampering, rain and drizzle all the way, moorland is justified (swampy area).  The team coped with all the tasks PERFECTLY!

We visited the caves of the Shira Plateau, where even before 2010 local teams of porters lived during the Kilimanjaro climbing programs! We are waiting for dinner, everyone is happy!

Sergey Avtomonov, guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Tanzania:

Hello everyone from the slopes of Kilimanjaro! Today we left the hotel and finally got to the national park! Got a little wet in the rain while walking through the beautiful rainforest! We went up to the first tent camp, had a delicious meal and rest! The guides Evgeny Fedyunin and Sergey Avtomonov were with you.

Evgeny Fedyunin, the guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Tanzania:

The group of the 7 Summits Club continues to arrive in the city of Moshi, at the foot of Kilimanjaro. While we are solving organizational issues and are engaged in equipment rental.  Tomorrow the group will start on the Machame route, or as it is called here "Whiskey route" - not cola at all! Climbing through jungles, equatorial forests up to 3,000m is the task of the first running day! Pole pole or ".. but there is no need to hurry.."

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

The group of the 7 Summits Club Bitcoin accepts congratulations. Today our small but cheerful group was on the roof of Africa. We were lucky with the weather, it was very beautiful at dawn, and the mountain was all white. On the descent, of course, everything has already melted, but everyone is happy.

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

Africa is in touch. Our “Bitcoin” group moved to the Barafu assault camp. We had a little lunch, dried things. We have an ascent at night. Now everyone has a sleep-drainage briefing. And at 12 a.m. we start. Wish us success!

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

 Greetings from Africa from the Bitcoin group! Today we moved to the Shire camp. We woke up early, had breakfast and, with a 900-meter climb, we reached our destination in the rain. The weather was not pleasant, there are few views, everything is overcast. But we are moving towards our goal. Now the weather has cleared up a little and we can get out of the tent. And so, everything is fine with us.

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

Jumbo from Tanzania!  The new group named “Bitcoin” has started its program on Mount Kilimanjaro. We checked the equipment, packed everything in bags and went. The first day of our acclimatization was with rain and thunderstorms. At this time, the rainy season begins on the mountain, but we are not being watered much yet. We went up to the Machame camp, through a beautiful forest, now we are eating and going to rest.

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

The group "Let's Give Heat" climbed to the top of Kilimanjaro today. We went in three small groups.  The weather was good, the views were beautiful, the dawn was a bomb! We got "the window", as soon as we descended, the mountain was covered with a cloud.  We went down to the Horombo camp through the fog. In general, I congratulate our cheerful team on the summit! Everyone's condition is good.

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

The group "Let's Give the Heat" reached the camp of Mavenzi. Our morning started with beautiful views and energizing dances. After that, we continued our climb in fog and rain. The route today was not very long, we were unlucky with the views.  But still, everything is fine with us! We have already had lunch and are resting.
