Thanks for excellent service and for making our Kilimanjaro dream come true!
When choosing the company for climbing Kilimanjaro we were also considering some more budget options, however eventually we were very happy that we were climbing with Altezza Travel. The difference in pricing is visible on the Mount when you see how other climbers struggle compared to you. Starting from the airport Altezza team provided excellent services.
My wife and I were taking a private 6 days climb via Umbwe route, our guides were very nice guys Victor and Haji. The trekking was very interesting, at first, we were going through rainforests, starting from the third day we witnessed the picturesque landscapes of the high altitude tundra, which were soon replaced by the unforgettable Lunar-Martian desert landscapes.
The team was very professional! We did not expect such a level of service on the Mountain. The meals were really great, rich and varied. The guides were helpful and very caring – they checked our medical condition twice a day using oxymeters and were checking our lungs and overall state of health. The tents and all the equipment was almost brand-new and we were sleeping on 3-inch thick matrasses!
The final summiting night was the most memorable and mind-blowing experience. Our guides helped us to conquer the Uhuru peak successfully and escorted us inside the crater to see the Kilimanjaro glaciers. Thank you Victor and Haji! Thank you Altezza Travel for making our Kilimanjaro dream come true!

Great trip to Serengeti and Ngorongoro with Altezza Travel
We recommend Altezza Travel for safaris to the Serengeti and to Ngorongoro. They went out of their way to tailor a trip for us to the Serengeti and Ngorongoro, and it was fantastic.
The guide/driver, Bakari, was professional, exceptionally knowledgeable about everything, and he is one heck of a good driver. Bakari is a natural at finding animals - he was so clever. We're amazed at the variety of animals we saw at close range.
(We spent nearly 25 days on safari in Namibia, Botswana, and Zimbabwe, and we saw the same amount of animals but more variety here in Tanzania with Altezza in a far shorter period of time.)
The accommodation was beautiful and overlooked the savanna.
Our trip with Altezza was so good that we'll return and spend more time on safaris with them. Tanzania truly has it all and we're fortunate to have selected the best safari company with the best guide!

A great experience that i would totally recommend!
I went to Kilimanjaro with Altezza Travel. It was my first time in Africa, first time on such a height and all this alone. The trip was quite a spontaneous one - nevertheless, thanks to Altezza team everything has worked out perfectly - from the first contact and consultations till the flight back from the Kilimanjaro airport.
Altezza is a team of professionals with local guides, and they really take care of Every aspect of your stay in the hotel (thanks for those tasty breakfasts!), staying available/connected in case of any issues on the spot, providing you with excursions so you don't get bored and of course - everything during the Kilimanjaro climb. Guides, porters, the incredibly positive chef (!), all the equipment and instructions have been just top! Thank you so much, guys, for this incredible and truly unforgettable experience. It's been almost a year and miss Africa so much.

8 days safari tour with Altezza
Altezza was exceptionally professional and customer focused from start to finish.
Our guide and driver Vincent was taking very good care of us, showing us the best spots, communicating with rangers and other guides to make every safari successful. We had a lot to see and do in our 8 days tour and now in retrospect we are glad for every minute.
I can certainly recommend Altezza as safari tour operator. I would definitely book with them again if I get the opportunity to go back to Tanzania.
Thank you so much, Altezza.

Hakuna matata!
Good day, dear ALTEZZA and travelers!
Our safari tour feedback we want to divide in two blocks:
1. Relationship with ALTEZZA during travel preparation and paper work.
2. Relationship with our guide Hamisi during safari
Block 1. WE and ALTEZZA
We want to express our gratitude to our travel coordinator Sergey who works with Altezza. He was extremely professional and polite, the dialog between us was perfectly organized. We received quick, full and precise responses to our questions despite that we consider ourselves as exigent tourists. All our wishes were executed in a full manner. From the very begging of the trip to the last day we felt support from Altezza, there were no any cons. Thank you, Sergey and Altezza. You did great job!
Block 2. WE and GUIDE
.
When we travel around the world, we prefer to use guide service for almost all locations where we stay so we were extremely lucky having Hamisi as our guide for the 5-day safari. (Arusha-Tarangire-Ngorongoro-Serengeti - October 25-30)
First of all, Hamisi is an intelligent, experienced, professional, polite and cheerful person. From the very begging we felt that we know each other for thousand years.
His professionalism is proved by facts: he knows seven languages (we asked him to study Russian as well), he knows numberless facts about flora and fauna (it is like watching discovery documentary), but the most important for the game drive - he knows animals' behavior. All the time he took the best places for watching and taking photos and videos. As well Hamisi has a very good sense of humor. We were more than just satisfied, we saw many real life actions: lions and chitas hunting, playing, migrations of zebras and gnus, marriages of different animals and even few dramas in animals’ life)
The car (Toyota Land Cruiser) was clean every day. You have to be ready for much dust during safari tour and it was very big pleasure to get in to the clean car every day.
Asante sana, Hamisi! Great job!
Summary
To sum up all above, we enjoyed our adventure with all our hearts. It was memorable and fantastic!
Highly recommend to use tours provided by Altezza and Hamisi as your perfect guide.

Safari
Altezza travel is a very serious agency. Our Safari was wonderfull. Our guide, Tom, french speaker was very interesting, passionated and very nice. We went to "Tarangire" : it is a very beautifull park, with a lot of baobabs trees and elephants, and others animals. The landscape was green so beautifull. Then we went to Ngorongoro conservation area and the North "Ndutu", we saw a lot of animals. Finally, we went into the crater Ngorongoro, also beautifull.
The landscapes of each park are really differents. I advice to begin with Tarangire if you have enough time before Ngorongoro. We didn't have enough time to go to Serengeti but I guess it is also gorgeous. After our safari, we went to Zanzibar during 5 days.
Our trip was just wonderfull !

Amazing safari !
In may 2020 I went to Serengeti with Altezza Travel. The company offers great services, their guides are very knowledgable and they give your safari a personal touch. This company will make sure you'll have an unforgettable experience!
Their cars are very comfortable and their guides all speak fluent English. Our guide Omary brought us to beautiful places and knew exactly what we wanted to do and see!
If you wish to get the safari of your dreams, I would recommend that you use this company to make your dreams come true!

Amazing trip in Africa!
I recently returned from a 5-day safari arranged by Altezza Travel in Tanzania - the safari covered Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Manyara national parks. Because I had fixed dates and could not change them, I ended up in a one-person safari, which actually worked out fine. I had the guide and the truck to myself, which was great. Long story short - I had a great time and would absolutely recommend Altezza Travel. Two people contributed to taking this trip enjoyable. The first is Anna, the consultant who worked with me in setting up the itinerary. She was responsive, easy to work with, and diligent - even though I had some questions about the trip and the various logistics involved, she was absolutely helpful at every point, right up to the point where I left Tanzania to go back home.
The second person who made a huge difference was Tom, my guide. Blessed with an upbeat, cheerful, and infectious personality, Tom was absolutely great on the long rides. His ability to spot animals was uncanny, as was his knowledge about the various species of birds and animals on the safari. He made sure things were in order, went out of his way to make things comfortable for me, and helped me gain a whole new perspective on wildlife. Even when we had a minor accident (our truck got stuck in a waterhole in Manyara for a while), Tom was there trying his best to get things back on even keel. At no point did I feel unsafe or in danger. He helped me get to another truck which brought me back to the lodge, while additional equipment was brought to the site to extract the stuck truck. In the bargain, I got to make a couple of new friends in the truck that gave me a ride :-).
All other facilities made by the company were great. The lodges were clean, functional, and well-maintained. Actually, a couple of the lodges were rather luxurious, which was not what I expected but was happy to see. The arrangements were made with care, attention to detail, and worked out very nicely for me. All in all, a memorable 5 days in and around Arusha.
