Kilimanjaro Trek, 6 dage - Umbwe-ruten
Beskrivelse
Umbwe-ruten er den mindst anvendte, mindst overfyldte rute på bjerget. Af god grund er det også den sværeste rute på bjerget. Umbwe er en stejl, konstant, lige stigning til toppen. Umbwe undgås mest fordi stigningsprofilen ikke giver klatrere meget tid til at tilpasse sig højden. Succesgraden er meget lav. Ruten tager mindst seks dage at gennemføre, selvom syv dage anbefales. Nedstigningen er ned mod Mweka, på den sydøstlige side af bjerget. Umbwe er ikke så scenisk varieret som Machame, Lemosho og Shira, fordi stien op og ned er i nærheden. Umbwe er ideel til dem, der ønsker en udfordrende stigning, og er meget sikre på deres evne til at vandre over jævnt stejle skråninger. Umbwe er også for dem, der er erfarne i højden og er derfor sikre på, at Umbwe's straffeskema ikke vil hindre deres evne til at tilpasse sig til højden. Umbwe er også for dem, der ønsker en afsondret vandretur.

We did the Umbwe route to climb Mt Kilimanjaro, and we had a fantastic experience. Our guides, porters and cook were all great and took exceptionally good care of us. Although the trek was configured as a 6 day itinerary, we were able to shorten it by several days, as we were experienced hikers, and our guides were happy to come up with an updated plan that better fit our fitness level and preferences. We brought our own gear, except we used the sleeping pads that were provided. The food was excellent, and we were very well fed. Our main guide, Shafi, was excellent -- knowledgeable, friendly, and good at keeping us informed and in the loop. The trek itself was incredible -- definitely a top lifetime experience for me. I would 100% recommend Intrepid Explorer. I would go with them again.
Hi Pascl, Thank you for taking the time to share your Kilimanjaro trekking experience with us and what a wonderful testimony! So glad to read you enjoyed the trek and could appreciate the personal touch of our company. Thank you for booking with us. You will always be party of our family. You are welcome again to Tanzania. Karibu sana!! With appreciations, Intrepid Explorer Tanzania Team.
This tour was fantastic from start to finish. Wence (the owner) catered the tour to our preferences and we had a great team of guides, porters, and a cook. This tour comes with free airport pickup and drop-off as well as a night at a bed and breakfast on both the front and back end of the trip. My friend and I are both fairly strong hikers and our guide (Shafii - also highly recommended) was able to work with us on a faster trip with less down time, basically hiking through a few of the camps. I only suggest this for folks who aren't affected by the altitude. The porters were great - I was able to chat with them a bit about football (soccer), and the food was amazing.... And ridiculously plentiful. I've never been offered so much food in my life. The guides were careful, helpful, and prepared us each night for the next day. We brought most of our own gear - but what we borrowed was also great. Overall, an A+ experience - I'm already trying to plan a return trip on a different route with intrepid explorer

They organized for us the expedition well and supported us until the end. Their service was excellent. I would recommend them to any guests looking to climb Kilimanjaro

Very well organized. From travelling logistics, pre and post-hike accomodation and to the eventual hike. The guides were awesome, ensuring everyone was well supported to maximise on the hike. Thanks to the chef, always looking forward to the special night meals.
