Great news overnight from our team on Mount Everest and Lhotse.  IMG Climbers George Vojteck Pesek and Fura Gyalzen Sherpa reached the summit at 7:05am.  What a huge accomplishment just one day after summiting Mount Everest.  They have been climbing strong the entire season.  Congratulations to George and Fura on another great climb!

Team 2 had a great day as well with everyone moving up the Lhotse Face to Camp 3.  They will be up early to continue up to the South Col and put themselves in position to Summit on the 15th.  We have two more climbers who took a well deserved and additional rest day at Camp 2 who will head up to Camp 3 tomorrow.

All is well on Mount Everest and Lhotse!

We have some great news from Tanzania which is a big improvement for travelers, with updated Tanzania Travel Requirements.  Now to go climb Kilimanjaro and do a world class safari you only need to document your fully vaccinated status!   No longer is Covid testing required to enter Tanzania, and no longer are tourists at risk (if they test positive) of being sent to a supervised quarantine facility at their own cost, until they test negative.

Here at IMG we are looking ahead to our summer season Kilimanjaro trips.  We have three scheduled, and each winds up with a classic safari to the Serengeti.  And, our annual holiday trip in December finishes up the year!

2022 IMG Kilimanjaro Dates:
Jun 20 – Jul 2, 2022
Jul 18-30, 2022
Sep 19 – Oct 1, 2022
Dec 20 – Jan 1, 2023 (Early Safari Confirmation Required)

If you enjoy rugged hiking and are in good health and fitness, then Kilimanjaro is a great goal for you!
