The Umbwe Route is steeper and shorter than the Machame Route. Once at the Barranco Hut you continue on with the other Machame hikers. The descent is down the Mweka trail. Since it is a very short and direct route, it is not recommended for people with little altitude experience.

You head in a northwesterly direction and ascend through a heavy scree towards Stella Point on the crater rim. This is the most mentally and physically challenging portion of the trek. At Stella Point you will stop for a short rest and will be rewarded with the most magnificent sunrise you are ever likely to see. Faster hikers may view the sunrise from the summit. From Stella Point, you may encounter snow all the way on your 1-hour ascent to the summit. Once at Uhuru Peak you have reached the highest point on Mount Kilimanjaro and the continent of Africa! From the summit we begin our descent by continuing straight down to the Mweka Camp, stopping at Barafu for lunch. You may want gaiters and trekking poles for the loose gravel going down.

My family of 4 (2 teens, my husband and I) and friends (a young couple) wanted to do something together so we decided to try and do Kilimanjaro together during the summer break . There were many travel agencies to choose from and after a thorough evaluation we decided to go with Kilimanjaro Wonders Expedition Safari based on the amazing reviews they had on various platforms. Teacher was our contact person and he helped us in selecting the Umbwe route which is the most challenging, with less traffic and very scenic too. The company provided very affordable prices, compared to all other companies. The services the company provided were top notch, starting from the staff to the. We climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro. The trek was amazing, our chief guide, Joseph, was outstanding. He led a team of 3 other guides and 19 porters and Moses our cook and his assistant. He was very attentive and ensured that everyone was comfortable and enjoying the trip. They crew was very helpful, assisting us to climb where we couldn’t do it on our own, and encouraging us. The crew made the climb fun as they freely talked about their country, culture, and ways. They constantly checked on us to make sure that we were in peak health condition. Moses made delicious food and soups that left us asking for more. They kept us well fed, and ensured that we had enough water to stay hydrated during the climb. After 6 days, the 6 of us reached the Uhuru peak just before dawn. The view was breathtaking and we got to watch the amazing sunrise. The experience we had in the hands of Kilimanjaro Wonders Expedition Safari was the best experience of our lives. The company prides itself in excellent customer service. I highly recommend the company for any trip you want to go on.
