- Success rate: Low
The Kilimanjaro Umbwe route is the shortest and steepest route up Kilimanjaro. It is the most challenging route on Kilimanjaro and the least used trail, probably for its poor acclimatisation profile, and only 589 people climb it each year. Success rates via this route are lower than the average. The Kilimanjaro Umbwe route approaches from the south and camping is the only available accommodation option. Pre-acclimatisation is recommended for those who choose to trek this route.
This Kilimanjaro Umbwe route has great views, but it is the most difficult way to reach the summit. Altitude acclimatisation is difficult due to the fast ascent and the success rate is very low. In this route you have the option of 7 Days or 6 Days.

Umbwe Route - Expert Advice
The difference between the Umbwe and Machame routes primarily lies in their initial two days. The steepness on Umbwe averages 21.5% for these days, whereas on Machame, it’s about 17%. This makes Umbwe a bit more challenging in the beginning. After that, the trek becomes more moderate. We strongly recommend the 7-day variation, with an extra night at the Barranco camp, for its better acclimatization profile.
