Summary
The 7 Days Kilimanjaro Climbing Tour via Umbwe Route for 2023&2024 with BURIGI CHATO SAFARIS. The Umbwe route is short, steep, and straight. It is considered extremely difficult and is the most difficult route up Mount Kilimanjaro. Umbwe does not provide the necessary stages for altitude acclimatization due to its rapid ascent. Although there is little traffic on this route, the chances of success are also low. The route is available for at least seven days, but six days is recommended when attempting this route. The Umbwe route should only be attempted by experienced hikers who are confident in their ability to acclimate. This 7 Days Kilimanjaro Climbing Tour via Umbwe Route for 2023&2024 with BURIGI CHATO SAFARIS is highly recommended.
