6 Days Umbwe route
The Umbwe route is one of the most challenging routes to reach the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro. The route can be done in five, six or seven days. We recommend it to be done in six or seven days so that clients can stay at Baranco for acclimatization and then they can go to lava tower the next day which is 4600m. This route follows a forested ridge to the moorlands, and then traverses below the southern ice field to reach the Barafu route which is followed to the summit.
