Experience one of the most adventurous and challenging Mount Kilimanjaro climbs on our 6-Day Mount Kilimanjaro Climb via the Umbwe Route. In fact, Umbwe is one of the steepest and most direct routes on Africa’s highest mountain. So it is perfect for experienced hikers who want a more remote, less crowded and physically demanding Kilimanjaro trek.
The Umbwe Route approaches Mount Kilimanjaro from the southern side. Along the way, it also offers dramatic landscapes, breathtaking ridges and unforgettable views of Kibo Peak, glaciers and the valleys below. Unlike other Kilimanjaro routes, Umbwe also gives you a true wilderness experience with fewer trekkers. As a result, it is one of the most exciting routes for adventure seekers.
Your 6-day Umbwe Route itinerary
This 6-day Umbwe Route Kilimanjaro climb follows a carefully planned itinerary, so your body can acclimatize. At the same time, you experience some of the mountain’s most spectacular sections, such as Umbwe Forest, Barranco Wall, Karanga Valley, Barafu Camp and Uhuru Peak (5,895 m).
Throughout your journey, our professional mountain guides, skilled cooks and dedicated porters give you expert support. They also provide safety monitoring, delicious meals and quality camping services.
