Mt. Kilimanjaro Trek – Umbwe Route 6 Day via Western Breach with Crater Night

Mt. Kilimanjaro Trek – Umbwe Route 6 Day via Western Breach with Crater Night

Trip Introduction

Western Breach Route Kilimanjaro Climb is one of the least crowded routes and one of the most fascinating. This is by far the best non-technical route on the mountain and our summit day is only a 1 to 2 hours hike from our last camp.

The Western Breach is a route that not many companies offer due to special safety restrictions and required expertise and requirements for the mountain guides. Kilele Climb Tours is proud to offer this challenging route to ambitious and adventurous climbers. Please contact us for further information.

Please note: This route is inherently more dangerous than other routes for 2 reasons. Firstly, the amount of time spent at high altitude and accessing the western breach. This route should only be undertaken by fit individuals with experience in altitude and adventurous training.

Day 0: Pre-trek Briefing

If you have chosen to use our airport transfer service, we will collect you from Kilimanjaro Airport and take you to your hotel in Moshi or Arusha. Your guide will meet you at the hotel for a pre-trek briefing, which is scheduled for the day after your arrival. We recommend that you arrive at least one day before the trek begins. During the briefing, we will discuss the trek and review your equipment. If you require any additional equipment, we can arrange for it to be rented from our store.

Day 1: From Hotel to Umbwe Cave Camp

  • Elevation: 1200m/3937 ft to 1700m/5577 ft to 2850m/9350 ft
  • Distance: 10 km.
  • Hiking Time: 4-5 hours
  • Habitat: Montane Forest.

Pick up with our vehicle from the hotel, drive to Umbwe gate. Here after completing the gate registration procedures, the trek starts through the rainforest to Umbwe cave campsite where you will find all tents already setup then stop for dinner and overnight. Today you will walk across ridges and valleys into a really thick forest.

Day 2: Umbwe Cave Campsite to Barranco Hut Camp

  • Elevation: 2850m/9350 ft to 3950m/12,959 ft
  • Distance: 9 km.
  • Hiking Time: 4-5 hours
  • Habitat:Montane Forest and Heather.

This day after breakfast you will trek through the remaining forest to the moorland and heath zone and you will be enjoying some wonderful views of Barranco valleys and ice cap on top of the mountain. Then you will arrive to barranco camp for dinner and overnight.

Day 3: Barranco campsite to Arrow Glacier camp

  • Elevation: 3950m/12,959 ft to 4903m/16,087 ft
  • Distance: 2 km.
  • Hiking Time: 3 hours
  • Habitat: Alpine Desert

With the Western Breach ascent route in full view we will spend 3-4 hours climbing to the base of the route where we will camp near Arrow Glacier. An afternoon hike further up the route before relaxing in camp will help our acclimatization and improve our performance the following day.

Day 4: Arrow Camp to Crater Camp

  • Elevation: 4903m/16,087 ft to 5639m/18,866 ft
  • Distance: 3.5 km
  • Hiking Time: 6-7 hours
  • Habitat: Artic

Today we will wake up early in the morning for breakfast and be ready to start the hike by 0500hrs. We will wind our way up the Western Breach non-technical climbing route for about 6 hours to the crater rim of the main Kilimanjaro summit massif. Those who still have the energy can explore the inner crater and the ash pit, this is raised circular inner rim, the inside of which slopes down to a flat floor and then 200m deep inverted cone at the very center of the volcano also Kilimanjaro has one of the most perfectly formed volcanic ash pit of any mountain in the world, before moving to our highest camp on the crater .floor. This spectacular high camp is next to the Furtwangler Glacier with stunning views westward toward Mount Meru and the setting African sun

Day 5: Crater Camp to Uhuru Peak to Mweka Camp  

  • Elevation: 5739m/18,829 ftto 5895m/19,341 ft to 3200m/10,065
  • Distance:12 km/7 miles
  • Hiking Time:4-6 hours
  • Habitat: Artic /Moorland

We will start our ascent to the summit (19,341 ft) early enough in the morning to reach the summit by sunrise. However, while your body may be aching from the day before, it will be nowhere as challenging because the peak is only 156 meters (512 feet) of ascent away, and won’t take more than one or two hours at most. This is quite a contrast to the 3,000-foot slog required to summit via all the other ascent routes on Kilimanjaro. The opportunity to see the new day’s climbers and the sunrise from the summit is a privilege that you won’t soon forget. Take some pictures, pat yourself on the back, hug your companions and enjoy the glistening pink and orange sunrise hues overlooking the ice fields and glaciers.

After taking in the view from Uhuru Peak we will begin the long descent to Barafu Camp and down to our final camp Mweka Campsite.

 Day 6: Mweka Camp to Mweka Gate

  • Elevation:3100m/10,171 ft to 1700m/5578 ft
  • Distance:9km.
  • Hiking Time:3-4 hours
  • Habitat: Montane Forest

Today is your last day on the mountain. After breakfast, you will descend down to Mweka park gate walking across montane forest. This descent will take 3-4 hours. At the gate you will sign out and board the vehicle, ready for the transfer back to your hotel for your certificate presentation celebration.

Day 7: Departure – Tanzania

The day is left free to wind down after the trek before your flight home. After a good night’s rest at your hotel, you will take breakfast ready for the scheduled check-out by 10.00. (If you wish to remain in the hotel during the day, please advise us of this when you book your trip and we will inform you of the cost for day room which ends at 18:00hrs, and then make the booking on your behalf.)

If you have booked a transfer to the airport, you will be collected from your hotel and dropped off at the airport. For those travelers who have booked to go on safari, our Kilele Climb guide will be meeting you in the evening to provide you with a pre-safari briefing.

*Safari, Zanzibar and other add-ons are available if you wish to continue exploring Tanzania.

      Kikuletwa Hot Springs Day Tour

      Trip Introduction

      Duration: 10 hours

      Chemka” signifies bubbling or boiling. This beautiful mineral spring that starts from Kilimanjaro ground waters discharges rises as it comes into the natural pool encompassed by huge fig trees. Here you can swim and snorkel in the straightforward warm water (26 degrees), sunbathe or unwind in loungers in the shade.

      Found around 1-hour drive from Moshi town and covered up by a beautiful green forest falsehood normal underground aquifer, perfect for taking a loosening up plunge or just to use as a scenery for a serene excursion or bar-b-que. You will be joined by a driver and direct and can spend as meager or as long as you can imagine, with the alternative to camp medium-term in this ideal spot. If fortunate, you might most likely spot mandrills hanging in the tree-beat above you.

      The Chemka Hot Springs are about 40 kilometers away from Moshi, in the homonymous village called Chemka. They are underground springs with warm water. The water forms a clear and clean pond which is ideal for swimming. The pond is very deep, in some places up to 10 meters, but the water is so clear that you can see the bottom well all the time. The pond is situated under lush trees. On the shore you can camp, enjoy your snacks and let yourself dry after swimming.

      Itinerary

      Day 1 – Moshi – Kikuletwa – Moshi

      • Travel time: 1 hour – 1 hour

      Your day tour begins with your hotel pickup at 09:00hrs. The ride to the hot springs takes about an hour and leads partly over bumpy slopes. First, we go past sugar cane plantations, then we come to the African scrubland. Dried river beds, baobab and acacia trees accompany us on our way. The hot springs of Kikuletwa, also known as Chemka Hot Springs, are close to the village of Rundugai and are one of the most beautiful places in Tanzania to relax. The small pond is surrounded by palm and fig trees with winding roots. In the morning, Blue Monkeys can often be observed in the trees, whilst the crystal clear, turquoise water invites you to a refreshing bath. Although they are called hot springs, the water in Kikuletwa is not truly ‘hot’ but refreshing, as the water source is fed by Kilimanjaro itself. Enjoy a wonderful day in just the way you want, in the sun dozing, chatting with the locals at the small bar, or swimming – you determine the course of this day. At noon we will have a picnic lunch, and in the late afternoon we return relaxed to Moshi.

          Lake Chala Day Tour

          Trip Introduction

          Duration: 10 hours

          Lake Chala is the unique caldera lake which is thought to be the deepest inland water body in Africa. The source of water of the lake is the underground water springs from Mount Kilimanjaro. It is also drained with a rate of about 10 million m3/year. The lake varies in color from deep blue to turquoise and green and it is surrounded by a 100-meter-high pit edge.

          Lake Chala is the Crater Lake that marks a border between Tanzania and Kenya on the eastern edge of Mount Kilimanjaro; it is 49 km from Moshi town and 8 km north of Taveta. The lake has a mean depth of 81 meters and it covers the area of 4.2 km2and it has the diameter of 3 km. Lake Chala and the surrounding area is spectacularly interesting, not just because of Kilimanjaro that can be seen on clear days towering in the background but also because it thrives with life. The lake itself is an attraction, the crater rim, bird species and small mammals such as colobus monkeys, baboons, dikdik and kudu.

          Some of the activities include; bird watching, game viewing swimming (not advisable), walking safari in the village and canoeing.

                  Trip Introduction

                  Duration: 12 hours

                  The Park finds itself in a beautiful setting with both the Pare and Usambara mountains towering above its boundaries. Depending on the weather, Mount Kilimanjaro can also be seen from the park. To the south, the pare and Usambara mountains form a dramatic backdrop and to the north, Kenya’s vast Tsavo National Park shares a border with Mkomazi, making common ground for migratory herds of elephants, oryx, and zebra during the wet season. Migratory species are also present here such as the Eurasian roller. Together with Tsavo, it forms one of the largest and most important protected ecosystems on earth.

                  Mkomazi national park is the compounds for African wild dog, and the extensive, patrolled sanctuary for the white and black rhinoceros (which are breeding) have put the reserve on the map, giving it international recognition.

                  Mkomazi derives its name from the Pare-ethnic language; “Mko and Mazi”. “Mko” means a traditional tiny wooden spoon used by the Pare people for eating and “Mazi” means water. This implies that the water in the Park is hardly enough to fill up the wooden spoon. It covers an area of 3,245sq km/1,240mi²

                    Mount Kilimanjaro Day Tour

                    Mount Kilimanjaro Day Tour

                    Trip Introduction

                    Duration: 11 hours

                    It is possible to do a one-day hike, which may whet your appetite for a future climb and this can be done via Marangu route. Only one day on the mountain will be enough to give you a full picture of what it takes to be part of a Kilimanjaro trekking expedition.  

                    This adventure is also perfect if you travel with children who are not ready for the full hike yet, or if your holiday is too short but you still want to enjoy the trip.

                    On these hikes you will reach the lower camps of Kilimanjaro, delve into pristine tropical wilderness and see breathtaking landscapes around. The trail taken by first Kilimanjaro explorers, Marangu is home to black-and-white colobuses living in the branches of tropical trees growing along the trail.

                    A one-day trip leads you up to Mandara Hut and back to the entry gate.

                    Itinerary

                    Day 1 – Moshi – Marangu Gate – Moshi

                    • Travel time: 1 hour – 1 hour

                    Your day tour begins with your hotel pickup from your hotel at 07:30am Drive 1 hour to Marangu gate. Enter the park and complete your registration at the gate with the Kilimanjaro National Park authorities, and begin hiking at around 09.00hrs The Marangu Route, which we follow today, approaches Kilimanjaro from the southeast. Hike (medium fitness) through the rainforest for estimated 3-5 hours, till Mandara Hut. We will be attempting to reach the Mandara Hut and will only trek through the lower altitudes, taking our picnic lunch on the way to the Mandara Hut. Once we reach the hut at 12:00hrs, we will stop for a rest for 30 mins.

                    A side trip to Maundi Crater is a good way to see the surroundings (time and weather permitting). Descend through the forest trail back to the park gates (estimated 2.5 hours) where your driver will be waiting to transfer you back to your hotel in Moshi.
