The Umbwe route is the most difficult on Kilimanjaro, as it is the shortest. It takes 6 days to complete, and the risk of acclimatization problems is correspondingly higher. It is aimed at experienced climbers who already know their resistance to altitude sickness. We stop at Umbwe Camp (3,000 m) after 1,600 m of climbing on the first day, before waiting for Barranco Camp (3,850 m). The route is then identical to that of Machame and Lemosho, so it's very busy in high season. After the summit, last night at Millenum Camp.
