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!

Trip of a lifetime!
Our route was Lemosho.
Travel guide: Altezza.travel <-- selecting right travel partner/guide makes huge difference. We've seen travel guides around us, who did not pay attention to their customers, no oxygen, no oximeters, etc. We had a blast with Altezza! Thank You!
Mountain is absolutely mesmerizing! Trip of a lifetime.

Lemosho - 7 Days
I cannot recommend this company highly enough. There were 6 of us and 27 people between guides, cooks and porters looking after us. Starting with the guides, Joseph, Exaud and Erick made me feel safe and looked after throughout the whole trip. When I fell behind, I was never alone. Unfortunately, I suffered from altitude sickness and had to turn back halfway through the summit on summit night but unlike other companies, I had two people looking after me the whole time, giving me water, food, reassurance and holding me up when I could walk no more. The porters are simply amazing. They went far and beyond their job description to make us feel comfortable, safe, and welcome at any time. The food was definitely a highlight and the bunny-shaped hot-water bottle at night was a very nice touch. I intend to try and summit Kilimanjaro again since I didn't make it to the top and when I do I will certainly use Altezza Travel. Don't look elsewhere, choose Altezza!

Amazing experience with Altezza team
I was planning my trip for a long time parsing different reviews and searching for a reliable and professional travel agency. It was the dream of my life to enjoy the whole wildlife variety and spectacular vistas of East Africa’s national parks. And thanks to Altezza team my dreams came true! Professional guide, comfortable safari vehicles and perfect program of Hartebeest tour allowed me to catch such scenic moments as the lion family hunting scene, resting cheetahs, and the Great Migration in Serengeti. My journey was impeccably managed from the first steps at airport Kilimanjaro until my departure. I’ve enjoyed this a great experience with Altezza Travel. Definitely recommended to other travelers.

A lifetime experience with Altezza
I cannot express how grateful I am to Altezza for organising my first solo adventure, and definitely the best trip of my life! It took me a while to choose the right program to join, because I did not know anything about Tanzanian National parks (million thanks to Stasia for answering all my silly questions with enviable patience!). I ended up choosing a 5-day safari, including 3 days in Serengeti. I was so afraid of going to another country on my own, but this fear went away as soon as I saw a smiling guy waving a sing board with my name on it at the airport exit gate. I met other members of my safari group the next morning and they were from all over the world: an old couple in theirs 70s from USA, who just climbed Kilimanjaro few days before (what excuse do you have now?), a beautiful young girl from Russia and a funny guy from Brazil. At 7:30 am our unforgettable adventure started.
I’ve been always fascinated by wild animals and untouched nature, but spent my whole life living in a buzzing city Berlin where people are always running somewhere. In Tanzania the time stops. I spent the whole hour watching a hyena crawl towards a dead zebra, cautiously looking around for a potential danger of other hungry predators. Mesmerizing! I cannot even name all animals we saw on our trip… lions, buffalos, infinite number of antelopes, elephants, giraffes, wild foxes, ostriches, caracals, leopards, zebras, hyenas, hyraxes and many many more! All lodges and hotels we stayed at were amazing! Tanzanian hospitality was above and beyond my expectations! Everyone was willing to make our stay perfect. And they definitely succeed! Sitting on the terrace and drinking cold Kilimanjaro beer while watching the sun goes down changing the colors of savanna - that is something I will never forget!
But the highlight of the trip was our guide Omary, who seems to know literally everything about every plant growing on Tanzanian land let alone with all animal breeds we met on our way. Do you know that there are more than 16 different species of antelopes live in Tanzania? Eland, Dik-DIk, Hartebeest, Topi, Tompson, Oribi… And now with a help of Omary, I can even distinguish them!
So once again, thank you Altezza Travel for the best wildlife experience, new friends from different parts of the world and an excellent customer service. Next time I visit Tanzania, I will definitely contact your amazing team again!

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.

Wonderful Tanzanian Experiences!
My friend and I were doing safaris in February 2015. We had contacted several companies before choosing Altezza. And that was a right decision for 100% - with Altezza I did not even think about difficulties and organizational matters, only admired the local scenery and enjoyed the adventure during all our stay in Tanzania. Thank you guys for your hospitality and great memories!

Amazing safari trip!
We had such an amazing time exploring national parks of Northern Tanzania on safari in January 2016. This was hands down the best trip either of us have been on! From start to finish, everything was so well planned and executed, that we never felt any of that normal vacation stress. Even when there was a minor issue with the weather and an outdoor activity, our itinerary was re-arranged so that we could still fit everything in.
All of our accommodations were absolutely incredible. We could not have picked them better ourselves! We especially loved how small each one was and how the staff/managers seemed genuinely interested in making our stay as memorable as possible.
In planning the trip, Altezza was incredibly responsive and worked with us to tweak our itinerary to fit in everything we wanted and some awesome suggestions we had not thought of (like the truly amazing experience with maasai tribe after Ngorongoro crater). We had a fantastic experience working with this travel company and will not hesitate to use them again for our next trip to Africa, which will hopefully be very soon!
Great help! Great experience!
My son and I have spent a lot of time contacting several companies, and finally have chosen Altezza Travel. They replied fast and provided all details I needed. Their website is clear, nice, informative and have really useful tips for travelers who planning to go to Northern Tanzania. Based on our wishes, Altezza team constructed a 7 days Safari tour to Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti, arranged detailed program, all transfers, cosy accommodations, special brand new equipment, amazing guide and made our trip unforgettable!
The tour was well organised, combined several experiences and with a reasonable price. We especially liked Ngorongoro crater, where we saw the most animals and my dream - black rhino! The guide was knowledgeable, inspiring and with a good sense of humor. We fall in love with the nature, locals and the hospitality of the Altezza Travel company. Thank you so much! We will definitely recommend your company to our friends! Our next plan is to do the Kilimanjaro climb with your team! See you next year!
