The Umbwe Route - Tanzania - Mount Kilimanjaro
Umbwe Route: the shortest and steepest ascent route for days 1 and 2, and with the lowest start point. No pro-acclimatisation features until after the Breach Wall. Mountain Sickness is therefore frequent on this route even before reaching 4,000m. Joins the Machame Route to the summit from Barranco Camp. A raw route that is not as developed as other routes and therefore is usually quite quiet. Please be cautious about deciding on this route if you have not been to altitude before and don’t know how you are going to respond. The cost of a fully ported, catered and guided seven day/six night climb is appx US$2,069 per person.
