Route Description

The 6 Days Umbwe Route is the most direct and challenging way to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. Known for its steep ascent and dramatic landscapes, this route is best suited for experienced trekkers seeking a demanding adventure. Starting from the southern side of the mountain, Umbwe offers a true wilderness experience with very low traffic during the first days.


Although it is a shorter route, Umbwe joins the Machame Route at Barranco Camp, allowing for improved acclimatization before the summit attempt. This itinerary is ideal for climbers who are physically fit and confident at high altitude.
