6 N 7 D Tanzania Tour

Package Overview

The Umbwe Route is known as the most direct, steep, and adventurous path up Mount Kilimanjaro. It is ideal for experienced trekkers or fit climbers looking for a short, challenging, and scenic route with fewer crowds.
This route starts from the southern base of Kilimanjaro at Umbwe Gate and ascends rapidly through a dense rainforest before emerging onto a ridge that provides stunning views of the valleys below. The path then joins the Machame Route at Baranco Camp, continuing through dramatic alpine landscapes, including the famous Baranco Wall, before heading to Karanga and Barafu Camp.
From Barafu Camp, climbers make a midnight ascent to Uhuru Peak, the highest point in Africa, where breathtaking sunrise views await. The descent follows the Mweka Route through beautiful rainforests back to the park gate.
This 7-day itinerary (including arrival day) ensures good acclimatization, a comfortable pace, and an unforgettable summit experience.
