7 Days Mount Kilimanjaro Climbing Tour via Umbwe Route

Following an early breakfast, you will have a briefing from your guide. At 9am, our staff will take you on the hour-long drive from your hotel in Moshi/Arusha to Umbwe village where your guides and porters will prepare your equipment and supplies. Kilimanjaro park registration will be completed here and you will also receive your lunch pack. After registration, you will begin your ascent from the Umbwe gate and continue on a small vehicle path until you reach the signage notifying you have reached the Umbwe trail. You will then climb for 5-6 hours through dense rainforest. It is impossible to miss the giant fig trees and rubber trees as in some places, their roots have overtaken the path. although, sometimes slippery themselves, they can make for good footholds when the path becomes sloppy with mud after a rain. Umbwe camp is inside the forest and will your first stop. when you arrive, you will find your camp and tent is already set up by the porters who ran ahead. they will bring you boiled drinking water and washing water in preparation for dinner.
