Umbwe Cave Camp is the first night's campsite on the steep Umbwe Route, in dense rainforest near a rock overhang.

Very few climbers use this route, so the camp is quiet and atmospheric after the demanding first day's climb up the forest ridge.

• Type: Mountain camp
• Altitude: 2,940 m
• Vegetation zone: Montane rainforest
• Facilities: Tent pitches with private mountain tents and a mess tent set up by your crew, and toilets
