CHALLENGING
Climb to the Rooftop of Africa Umbwe Route
The Umbwe route is deserved to be considered as the most challenging route and that should be attempted by strong and real adventurer team. This is because the trail is not well opened due to low traffic. The route does not give necessary stage to acclimatization due to the fast ascent to high altitude which may lead to altitude sickness. The success rate to this route at Popote Adventure Africa is 85%. The Umbwe route start with short drive from Moshi town to Umbwe gate where the hikes begins, later join with Machame, Lemosho and Shira route at Baranco and head to East south at Barafu camp before summit. Its first day is covered with real adventure experience on a thick, health forest and wet trail. We offer this route for private hike only and can be climbed in 6 days or one can choose 7 days for better off acclimatization day spent at Baranco Camp.
