7 Days 6 Nights Kilimanjaro Hiking Tour via Umbwe Route in 2025-2026 with Burigi Chato Safaris
7 Days 6 Nights Kilimanjaro Hiking Tour via Umbwe Route in 2025-2026 is the most challenging route on Mount Kilimanjaro. Due to the fast ascent to high altitude, this route does not provide the necessary stages for acclimatization. Umbwe is considered to be a very difficult, taxing route - one that should only be attempted by strong hikers who are confident in their ability to acclimatize quickly to altitude. The 7 Days 6 Nights Kilimanjaro Hiking Tour via Umbwe Route in 2025-2026 is offered at a minimum of six days, though seven days is recommended when attempting this route. The Kilimanjaro Umbwe route should only be attempted by those who are very strong hikers and are confident in their ability to acclimatize
Approaching from the south, the Kilimanjaro Umbwe route is a short, steep, and direct climb. After reaching Barranco Camp, the trail turns east and traverses underneath Kilimanjaro's Southern Ice Field on a path known as the Southern Circuit before summiting from Barafu. Descent is made via the Mweka route.
