About this safari
Challenge yourself on the 6-Day Umbwe Route Summit Trek, Kilimanjaro’s steepest and most direct climbing route. Designed for experienced and physically fit trekkers, this adventure passes through lush rainforest, dramatic ridges, alpine desert, and the iconic Barranco Wall before reaching Uhuru Peak (5,895 m), the highest point in Africa. With breathtaking scenery, expert mountain guides, and full support from porters and a cook, the Umbwe Route offers a rewarding and less-crowded path to the Roof of Africa.
