Thank you so much for the awesome trip to wilderness of Tanzania.
This tip became quite unplanned and spontaneous for us. Suddenly my wife and I got vacation on the work and we started thinking about travelling somewhere. We found Altezza from context advertising half a year ago or something and now, facing the problem of choosing the destination for vacation, we thought: "Let's go to Africa, why not?"
Obviously we had lack of time for planning the trip and also due to the bank restrictions for international money transfer from Ukraine (you can not transfer through the bank more than $700 abroad), we could not pay a 30% deposit to guarantee our willing to come. After a short dialogue with the manager we bought tickets from Ukraine on the next day. Many thanks to manager Eugene for his responsiveness and understanding of the issue.
Telling truth, till the last minute, when we met our safari driver and manager of the company at the airport, I was worry about the trip. Neither me, nor my wife could believe that it is possible to organize 3-days Luxury safari within 30 hours only. But now I can confidently say "YES"!
Alttezza Travel managed to organize a dream-trip for me and my wife and we really appreciate them for the work done and can safely recommend this company to all travelers.

Right choice for everyone who wants the perfect safari!
As I decided to organize myself a 3-day safari in North Tanzania in March 2015 (Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Arusha), I contacted 8 or more companies per mail. All of them responded quite fast, but Altezza offered me the best program and price. The correspondance with them was always very friendly, personal, clear and fast. Although it was my first safari experience, I was relieved that everything went perfectly well, the minute we went out of the airport on arrival in Tanzania (our first time in this country). We spent 3 nights in very nice lodges, which were recommanded by Altezza. Now the most important thing : our driver-guide Ben! Travelling with him was just perfect : safe driving, sometimes not too fast to enjoy the landscape, sometimes fast to spot impressive animals. He gave us many informations about the animals and the country (I didn't expect to learn so many things!!), but he didn't talk all the time neither, that was perfect for us. Thanks to his patience and very acute and trained eyesight, we saw all the animals we wanted to see and many more... He was very adaptive and agreed to pick us up very early in the morning.
For sure I can recommend this company to everyone.

Wonderful adventure
From reading other reviews, it appears that a lot of your experience depends on what driver you get. We apparently won the lottery, as our driver Franky was wonderful. He had a knack for finding animals and we saw all of the big 5 - most of them multiple times, plus endless hippos, giraffes, zebras, etc.
The car was also amazing. It was brand-new (2014) green coloured Land Cruiser with refrigerator, comfortable seats and sockets for charging of devices. Our car was kept clean and cold drinking water was available for us constantly.
Our accommodation was clean, comfortable and always interesting! And what's important – all lodges were in African style.
Tanzania is a country where everyone we met was warm, happy and welcoming. It always felt safe wherever we were. This country is an oasis, and I would love to go back again.
At the end of our 5 day safari we were really sad to part ways with our driver Franky. I recommend him and Altezza Travel to anyone travelling to Tanzania.

Thank you for the best holiday ever
We’ve just arrived home and thought we’d send a quick review to thank Altezza and to tell you that we had the time of our lives. We have travelled extensively all over the world in the last 10 years, so we knew for sure which level of organization we expect.
First we've been surprised with quick and complete replies on my emails. Telling truth this is not easy to work with us, as I changed my mind many times regarding our choices of lodges and locations while planning. Eventually, this holiday became the best ever! We were incredibly lucky and saw the Big Five and so many other things (e.g. lions, hyena & cubs, wild dogs, leopards, giraffes, zebras, jackals, impalas, hippos, elephants, buffaloes, heaps of beautiful birds etc). Also it was a perfect 40th birthday. Tanzania is awesome – those sunsets are quite unbelievable, thank you so much. Thanks to all your team, we’ll be returning soon.

Don't worry if you don't know how to organize your safari.
Don't worry if you don't know how to organize your safari, these guys are real professionals!
Just tell them your budget and how many days you are willing to spend and they will find the best solution. You can send them tens of emails asking hundreds of questions. They will reply promptly every time.
Our guide was Franky. A very knowledgeable guide and very nice person who really loves the job he does.
Words cannot convey the pleasure of the safari.
Thank you very much!

Wonderful trip!!
Travelling with Altezza was absolutely amazing experience!! The entire process was seamless and perfect from sales to payment to our wonderful guide Ben! He has eagle eyes and made our safari very special!! Every game drive we went on was an amazing experience. We spotted so many animals and was all down to our very talented driver. He wouldn't stop until he had found what we were after!
We have been on safari few times before in Kenya and South Africa and I would have to say that this trip was better than all previous trips combined, thanks to Altezza.
Don't be nervous about using Altezza Travel, they made our trip wonderful! Nothing went wrong and nothing out of place! Thank you, guys!

The Lion King world for my kids.
My family and I were very lucky to spend 10 days in Northern Tanzania. It was our first visit to that part of Africa and, telling truth, our first "not beach resort travelling". I booked this tour in the beginning of March and from the very first letter, I was satisfied with service, quick, full and polite responds from managers of this company. Due to the lack of previous safari experience, I have completely entrusted organization of our tour to manager Eugene. As a result, after few letters we have approved a 10-day safari in Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Lake Natron national parks.
My two children were delighted by The Lion King world. We have seen Big Five animals. Before the trip, I was a little worry about transfers since I was not sure how my children feel themselves during long drives.
As a result, this trip turned out to be the biggest adventure of the life for my family and we are very delighted to travel with Altezza Travel and driver Franky, who is very intelligent, reliable and friendly.

Never thought that safari can be so fun!
It was my first trip to Africa.
Telling truth I had neither safari, nor mountain climbing experience before in my life, so it was quite scarry for me and my son.
Now I am back home after almost 2 fantastic weeks spent in Tanzania. And looking back I can confirm that this journey was absolutely awesome. I enjoyed everything: well organized program, prices, food, lodges, kind and lovely managers that helped me with trip planning. My 15-years old son even wished to merry with manager Valery in the future :))
Our guide did his best to give us full and wide picture of wild Africa and now I can state that trevelling with Altezza company was amazing experience for me and my son.
Hopefully to see you soon again, guys!

Probably the best service you can find in Tanzania
My wife and I want to thank Altezza Travel for our amazing safari experience in Tanzania. We traveled to Tanzania in late February to early March.
Upon arriving at JRO (Kilimanjoro International Airport) near Arusha an Altezza Travel driver Ben was there to take us to the hotel.
Next morning during safari in Tarangire National Park we understood that Ben has an encyclopedic knowledge of the birds, animals, and plant life of Tanzania. He speaks excellent English, is warm, with a pleasant personality and a good sense of humor. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with him. This company arranged excellent accommodations at upscale lodges and luxury tented camps. We especially loved the 2 tent camps we stayed at, sleeping to the sounds of zebras and wildebeest right outside our tent. During our 7-day tour we visited the Serengeti from south to north, the Tarangire National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater. We met all representatives of the African Big Five Following Ben's lead, we saw cheetahs and lionesses hunting, a leopard in a tree with a kill, the Great Migration and many other things we will always remember.
If we ever get the opportunity to return to Tanzania (I really hope so) we will definitely hire Altezza Travel and specifically request Ben as our guide.

Excellent unforgettable experience with Altezza Travel
Safari with Altezza Travel Company became an excellent unforgettable experience for me. I was traveling with my girlfriend and few of our friends in Tanzania in April this year. This was an unforgettable trip, the staff at Altezza Travel were very professional and friendly, they were very quick answering all my questions and they always provided all the requested information on the stage of tour booking. The lodges they recommended were great and the price for the whole package was very good.
Our guide, Frenky, was wonderful! Fluent in English, history, geology, geography and in terms of local culture and gave us a lot of knowledge.
No doubt the guide upgraded the whole trip, and we really recommend Frenky to be your guide!
The service was wonderful from all the stuff once the order several months ago untill we returned back at the end of the tour to the airport.
Thanks a lot to Altezza for the journey I will never forget.
