umbwe route is considered the shortest and steepest of all Kilimanjaro routes. The route has a very poor acclimatization profile hence making it very difficult. umbwe route approaches the mountain from the south and it can be used by experienced hikers who have done pre acclimatization. The route can be completed in six days although we recommend the seven days option the descent is done via mweka route. umbwe route is not as scenic compared to the western routes like machame and lemosho.
This route can be tackled in six days but we recommend the seven days option to get an extra day for acclimatization and increase the summit chances. We keep insisting that climbing Kilimanjaro is not a competition and in most route the more days the better chances of reaching the peak.
