Join us on Kilimanjaro this February

There is still time to join our 15 February Kilimanjaro - Umbwe Route trek, which will be led by Cat Treblico. 

"The Umbwe (pronounced "Um-bway") Route is rarely climbed and provides a very direct route up the southern aspect of Africa's highest mountain. The trail has fewer people on it than any other route on Kilimanjaro. Due to the topography and the faster rate in which altitude is gained, it is only suitable to follow this route if you are already acclimatised. You will achieve this by spending the first three days of this trek itinerary climbing nearby Mount Meru (4,556m), before then ascending the Umbwe Route to arrive at Baranco Camp. From Baranco Camp, you then join the southern circuit and follow the Barafu Route to reach the summit via Stella Point. The Meru ascent and Umbwe route to Baranco is an itinerary we have followed on our Kilimanjaro - Western Breach for nearly three decades, with great success. It is undoubtedly the most interesting and varied way of climbing Kilimanjaro, as well as being the one most likely to get you to the summit."
