7 Days Kilimanjaro Climb Umbwe Route
Description
Introduction:
Umbwe Route is a short, steep route. Without a doubt, this is the most difficult route on the mountain. This is a little used route mostly chosen by well experienced climbers looking for the most challenging experience. For this reason, the six days itinerary is more often chosen since the seven days is not the most difficult option. This route starts off very quiet but becomes busy when it merges in with the Lemosho and Machame Routes. This route is offered only as a private trek.
