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.

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.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Olga Rumyantseva reports from Morocco: Hello everyone! That's the end of our adventures in Marroko. On the last day we moved from the hot red Marrakech to the ocean, to the blue-white city of Essaouira.

But before we got to this city, on the way, first of all, we finally saw the legendary Moroccan goats that graze, climbing argan trees and eating their fruits and leaves.

A tree strewn with goats like apples is a very unusual sight. Secondly, we stopped at a beautiful winery - a small piece of France with an African flavor, where we looked at the process of wine production, and then tried their best samples.

 And finally, we arrived in Essaouira. Essaouira is the ocean, it's sand, it's white and blue houses and blue fishermen's boats, a big fish market and an old fortress. Here you can wander around the old town for hours or sit on the beach looking at the ocean. You can also swim (which we immediately did), but not for long, because the water is very cool.

 The most active of us went to learn kite surfing. We just walked around the city until the evening. This is the end of our trip, which gave so many bright and diverse impressions.

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

Hello everyone from Morocco! Yesterday we had a very busy, even oversaturated excursion day. Early in the morning, before leaving the hospitable Ouarzazate, we visited the most famous Kasbah Al Ben Hada, where various famous films were shot.

We wandered among the ancient walls, looked at where the Gladiator movie was filmed, looked at how they make drawings from tea and saffron.  After that we drove towards Marrakech. On the way, we saw how the legendary argon oil is produced.

As soon as we arrived in Marrakech, we immediately went on a walking tour of the city. We visited the most iconic sights: Bahia Palace, Madrasah, Majorelle Garden. We walked through the ancient streets. And only late in the evening, fed up with impressions, finally rested at the hotel. It turned out to be a wonderful eventful day, which opened up to us Marrakech from a new side.
