Kilimanjaro Tour Overview
(8 Days Total: Arrival + 6 Trekking Days + Departure)
Start/End: Arusha or Moshi
Route: Umbwe Gate – Barranco – Barafu – Uhuru Peak – Mweka Gate
Difficulty: Challenging (Steep, fast ascent)
Best Time to Climb: January–March & June–October
The Umbwe Route is Kilimanjaro’s steepest and most direct trail, perfect for experienced trekkers seeking a challenge and solitude. Though physically demanding, the route is scenic, passing through dense rainforest, ridges, and valleys before merging with the Machame Route at Barranco Camp. With fewer climbers and faster elevation gain, the Umbwe Route requires excellent physical fitness and prior hiking experience.
