Kilimanjaro Climb via Umbwe Route- 8 Days
Summary
Tour info
Why take this tour?
Umbwe route is the steepest and shortest route that has a well-deserved reputation of being the most challenging route on Mount Kilimanjaro. The first two days are extremely steep, muddy and generally making it suitable for well-trained hikers. The rapid climb on the first day with little time for acclimatization is compensated by the breathtaking panoramic views. After reaching Barranco Camp, the trail turns east and traverses underneath Kilimanjaro’s southern circuit before summiting from Barafu. Our 8-day trip is open for climbers with high-altitude mountaineering experience.
