Kilimanjaro
Climb/ Trek Overview
Umbwe Trek starts on the southern side
of Mount Kilimanjaro at Umbwe Gate. This is a fairly
steep route, and is recommended for the very fit or
experienced trekker.
Steep
forest paths give way to heath and moorland before becoming
rocky, and this is where the trek becomes more challenging.
Approach to the summit is via Barafu and Stella Point
with the descent being via Mweka.
