6 Days Kilimanjaro Umbwe Route
The Umbwe route has a reputation for being the most challenging route on Kilimanjaro. And rightly so. It’s the shortest and steepest of the Kilimanjaro routes, and accordingly has a poor acclimatization profile.

For this reason its summit success rate is low and its one of the least used trails on the mountain. The Umbwe approaches the summit from the south and camping is the only available accommodation option. Pre-acclimatization is recommended for those who choose to trek this route.
Highlights
- Walks along the scenic Senecio Forest.
- Observe the incredibly beautiful valleys and hills from the top of the Barranco Wall.
