December 24, 2018 It’s always a big relief to finally start walking, after all the travel. Today was a good day for the Kilimanjaro team. Phunuru checked in from Machame Camp (about 10,000 feet)  to report that they were all doing well. The weather was nice today for their hike up through the forest. Now […]
October 5, 2018 Andy Polloczek checked in from Tanzania this morning (his evening) reporting that the team had a great time in the Ngorongoro Crater. The size (16km x 19km) and the sheer diversity of wildlife in the crater surprised the team the most. After spending the bulk of the day in the crater […]
October 3, 2018 These guys clean up real nice! As you can see they’re all shined up and ready for their flight to the Serengeti. No word from Andy this afternoon, but it’s a pretty safe bet they had a heck of a day on their afternoon game drive before heading to our wilderness camp […]
October 2, 2018 IMG Senior Guide Andy Polloczek checked in today from the hotel in Moshi. He and the team had already showered up and were toasting to a great climb of Kilimanjaro. The festivities continued into the night with their celebration dinner…The 3+ days of rain are now a distant, though vivid, memory. […]
October 1, 2018 We’ve never missed on Kilimanjaro, but that doesn’t mean take summit day for granted! Just the opposite in fact, a big part of our our success is due to the respect we give the mountain. Our current climb is a great example, they toughed out 3 days of rain, stayed healthy and […]
September 30, 2018 Andy checked in this morning (his afternoon) reporting that the team had a great climb up to High Camp on Kilimanjaro. Once in camp they had lunch, did some summit-night packing, and generally did their best to relax and prepare for their big night/day ahead of them. They plan is to wake […]
September 29, 2018 Andy checked in this afternoon (his time) reporting that all is well at Karanga Camp (13,000ft.) on Kilimanjaro. The team enjoyed a much drier day today on their climb up the Barranco Wall, and trek to camp. The climb from Barranco Camp to Karanga Camp isn’t an overly long day, but it’s […]
September 28, 2018 Andy Polloczek checked in from Barranco Camp today (13,000ft.) reporting that all is wet and well. The team had another wet day on the trail today, but as Andy put it, this team is resilient! They kept a great attitude, enjoying each other’s company throughout the day. The rain started a little […]
September 27, 2018 “A wet day on Kilimanjaro still beats any day in the office.” That’s what Andy’s team told him after climbing from Machame Camp (10,000ft) to Shira Camp (12,000ft) in a bit of rain. Once in camp they dried out, had some tea & and enjoyed a nice dinner. The team is […]
September 26, 2018 Andy checked in from 10,000ft on Kilimanjaro today reporting that all is well. The trek from the Machame Gate (6000ft.) to Machame Camp (10,000ft.) goes through the rain forest / jungle where it’s likely to rain a bit, today was no exception. Despite the rain, the team had a great hike and […]
