Can I carry my own backpack on the 6-day Umbwe Route, or will porters carry it?
On the 6-day Umbwe Route, you only need to carry a small daypack containing the personal items you may need during the day's hike, such as snacks, drinking water, extra clothes, a rain jacket, sunscreen, and other essentials. Your main trekking luggage, weighing over 7 kg, will be carried by our dedicated porters throughout the adventure, allowing you to focus on walking and enjoying the climb without carrying heavy bags. The porters will transport your main luggage along the route to the designated overnight camps until the trek is completed. Before starting your climb with Tanzania Natural Tours, our team will explain the luggage arrangements and help you understand what to pack in your daypack and what to leave for the porters to carry.
