  Altezza could not have been more organized, helpful, accommodating and professional. Albert was our lead guide (Top Notch!) with our greatest cheerleader JoJo and Philomen to make sure we kept the right pace. I have to echo what 847rachaelc says! Especially about the toilet tent! (otherside known as the green machine!) We had the privilege of a birthday celebration, huge cake shared by all, song, dance and celebration! The best was the hot water bunny bottles, for which we gratefully thank Anna for finding new ones for us to take home. An experience of a lifetime!

  Altezza Travel handled all of our needs perfectly when we visited Tanzania. I came for a climb and my wife and daughter joined me for a pre-climb safari. The safari vehicle, guide, and lodgings were perfect and a great value. The Kilimanjaro guide team was substantial as well as experienced in health, safety, and guiding to success. The booking and planning process was expertly handled by Anna from the Altezza Office. It is a well-managed organization that provides exceptional value.

  I got this crazy idea to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro in February and I also decided that I wanted my boyfriend to join me. We booked our trip and climbed the mountain in August with Altezza Travel. Our guides Victor and Baraja were absolutely fantastic! We could not have asked for a better team to get our butts to the top of that mountain. They were incredibly accommodating and very educated about the Machame route and the best methods of success. They were also very thorough about checking our health and making sure we were safe for the entire climb. I cannot recommend this team and this travel company enough! Thanks again Victor and Baraja! You guys were the best!

  My husband and I felt truly blessed to enjoy the company, expertise, professionalism, services and quality equipment of Albert and his Altezza team on our 7 day Lemosho climb of Mt Kilimanjaro in mid January 2020. Everything was of the highest quality and we miss our supportive team already. If you can ask for Albert by name, we highly recommend his leadership and friendship over what is a deeply satisfying and at times challenging hike. Albert brings confidence, warmth, experience and expertise to the role, and has built a quality and cohesive team around him – from fellow guide Kim, to cook Bacari, camp master Emmanuelle, waiter Sadiq and the whole dedicated crew. The quality of equipment including tents, sleeping matts (the thickest we’ve seen), hot water bottles and the food was outstanding. Thank you Albert and Altezza for making our Kilimanjaro experience a trip of a lifetime. Hint: pay an additional fee for a personal toilet tent - you won't regret it.

  Thank you very much for the FANTASTIC Vacation! From the minute we landed in Kilimanjaro and the professional driver, to the AWESOME Safari guide and experience to the super professional hiking guides, we were absolutely blown away! We really really had a great time. The safari experience was so much better than we could have imagined. We saw so many different animals and so close to our vehicle that we got fantastic pictures!!! The guide was awesome in getting us close to all the animals and very friendly and professional. All the accommodations and lodges and staff were very inviting. We really felt welcomed and appreciated during the entire safari trip. The hiking portion was an experience of a life time! Although my wife did experience some altitude sickness, the entire hike was unforgettable. The professionalism of the guides (Rama and Stephen) and the entire crew was unbelievable. They always made us feel as part of the team and were always willing to help in anyway they could. The food during the hike was better than restaurant quality! I don't know how they cook such delicious meals on the side of the mountain, but we were really really impressed with the taste of the food. We successfully made it to summit and because it was so cold, we only spent a few minutes up there. Rama was fantastic and took our camera and really took some great pictures for us at the top. My hands were too cold to operate the camera, so we are really thankful of the pictures he took for us! My wife experienced some more severe altitude sickness after summit and with safety being the number one concern from the guides, they made the call to bring in a helicopter to get us off the mountain and my wife to the Kilimanjaro Search and Rescue clinic. The clinic did a fantastic job helping my wife and getting her feeling better. As we left the clinic, Altezza did a great job getting us a driver back to the hotel and securing the hotel room for the unexpected night. The entire trip was absolutely amazing and we are really glad we picked Altezza for our vacation. From all the help from Stasia planning the trip and answering our questions to all the staff at the hotels/lodges/safari/hiking crew/drivers it was a vacation of a lifetime! We would gladly take more vacations with Altezza and highly recommend them to any of our family or friends looking to travel to Africa.

  Picked Altezza on line without any other source of information. Could not have been happier. Service was very prompt and courteous, prices were much better than US based firms. Safety was the primary concern with comfort a close second. Luxurious seems an odd word given the environment, but not far off. Rentals were first rate quality. Unexpectedly, got a birthday cake at 12000 feet for one of our party. Guides and porters were lovely people.

  Climbing Kilimanjaro is something that I have wanted to do for a long time and I should have done it earlier! Without the expert and caring guidance of Altezza Tours and the amazing Haij and Maro I wouldn't have made it. Altezza went beyond reasonable expectations and Haij and Maro were kind, encouraging, helpful and inspired confidence. Thank you everyone.

  As a couple we joined them along with 4 others we did not know. My wife has coeliac disease and they made sure beforehand that there would be something for her for each and every meal. Often being able to join in with the main dish and then given something separate on the dishes that weren't suitable. She had no problems at all which is crucial on a strenuous climb as this. The crew were all so kind and looked after everyone very well. The guides and porters were happy to work for this company too and was one of the reasons we chose them.

  Booked a Kili group climb and private safari through this firm. The Kilimanjaro trip was through a third party. I was very concerned about the quality of this company, but was pleasantly surprised. The Kili tour was with Victor and he was exceptional. He was fluent in English and well organized. Our entire group made it to the top thanks to Victor and his staff. The safari was 5 days including the Serengeti with Omary. He was very experienced and had an exceptional eye. We saw several cheetahs, about 50 lions, a leopard, and even a rhino (from a distance). The Simba lodges we stayed at were FANTASTIC! Ayishi Machame was very nice. Mt. Menu was not quite as nice, but the rest of the hotels more than made up for it. We worked with Anna and she did an excellent job providing all details upon arrival. The entire trip was very well organized and communicated once we arrived. There was also a safe place to store valuables. We had such a fantastic trip and are very grateful to Altezza for making it such a pleasure!
