This Umbwe is the most spectacular and direct way to reach Uhuru Peak.
This route became famous when it was featured in the dramatic IMAX film
Kilimanjaro - To the Roof of Africa. On the Umbwe, you pass through strange
landscapes as you climb through five climate zones ranging from rainforest to
the summit's glaciers. The route follows a forested ridge to the moorlands,
then traverses below the southern icefields to reach the Machame Route, which
you follow to the summit. This steep, tough, and in places slightly exposed
trek is suitable for a fit individual used to walking in mountain areas.
Because of the route's steepness, it is seldom used, and trekking poles are
useful on the steep, slippery slopes in the rainforest. All your equipment and
supplies are carried by porters and a cook prepares all your meals. Unlike the
Marangu Route where you sleep in huts, on the Umbwe you sleep in tents (tents
are included), and the porters will pitch your tent for you. Meals are served
in a dinner tent or on a blanket outside. You can add an extra day to your
itinerary to explore or relax along the route (best taken at the Barranco Camp). For more information and bookings
