6-Day Private Guided Hiking Tour to Kilimanjaro Umbwe Route
6-Day Private Guided Hiking Tour to Kilimanjaro Umbwe Route
The Umbwe Route is the least used, least crowded route on the mountain. For good reason, it is also the most difficult route on the mountain. Umbwe is a steep, constant, straight climb to the top.
The route takes six days minimum to complete, although seven days is recommended. The descent is down Mweka, on the south-east side of the mountain.
