From the very beginning, Victoria from customer care was perfect. The experience on Kilimanjaro mountain went beyond my expectations, also thanks to our guide Rashid. Great service, great organisation, great everything! Truly recommended

Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend these guys. We had an amazing trip to Tanzania and they had every step covered from the encouragement I needed to summit Kilimanjaro to resolving a small service issue we had in one of the hotels (which couldn’t have been resolved better).

From getting in touch with the team to getting back from Kilimanjaro, the Altezza team was extremely helpful! I was in contact with Sophia while I was planning my trip and a big thank you to the whole crew on the 8 day Lemosho route. It was an extremely enjoyable trip! The food up on the mountain was beyond my expectations. One day before my climb, the Altezza team did a final check on the hiking gear I brought and they saw a few items missing which they gave me without charging a hiring fee which made my experience better. Whilst trekking up on the 6th day, my shoe got torn apart and the Altezza team was very quick to fix it once we reached the camp so there was no downtime. These small gestures don't go unnoticed which is why I would highly recommend them! They care about you having the best experience possible.

Booked with altezza mostly because the dates lined up well with the rest of my travels but was pleased with the experience. Amazing guides and porters made the summit much easier.

Altezza could not have been more fantastic. The team was so incredible and so knowledgeable. We definitely could not have succeeded without them. I highly recommend them to any and everyone.

Had a great experience hiking Kilimanjaro with my family! We bonded with 8 other strangers who were in the hiking group and with the amazing tour guides led by Shabani. The safari experience was also great, and we saw all sorts of animals over four days.

Unbelievable safari from start to finish. Altezza is 1000% worth the money. Absolutely EVERYTHING is organised for you, you will not have to lift a finger. So incredibly organised (thank you Sophie!), with luxurious accommodation at every stop. All staff were so wonderful and welcoming. Safari vehicle was new, spacious, with heaps of pockets for your stuff. Cold water and drinks available in the vehicle everyday. Last but definitely not least, we were gifted with the best and most knowledgeable guide, Hussain, for our entire trip. I literally cannot fault Altezza and will be recommending them to everyone wanting to travel to Tanzania. 11/10.

From planning our Kilimanjaro hike to organizing other facets of our trip - Altezza took care of the small details to make the vacation a worry-free experience. Airport and hotel transfers were all taken care of and a lifeline in case we had questions was always available. We started by taking a few days in Moshi to relax and get rid of jetlag. The Kilimanjaro trek via Machame route was amazing, guides supported us throughout by answering all questions and providing knowledge along the way. They kept the mood light, but also ensured we were very safe throughout the hike. The food was plentiful and delicious. Equipment rentals were also excellent. Altezza also helped coordinate travel and lodging option in Zanzibar and also 2-day Safari in Tarangire and Ngorongoro Crater. Here is what I'm happy we did: 1- Rent the port-a-potty if hiking kilimanjaro 2- arrive a few days early to relax before the trek 3- get to know your climbing group and Altezza crew 4- visit Zanzibar and do a spice farm tour Here are things we might have done differently 1- Safari...would have asked to stay in the parks if possible...we drove several hours each day and might have only spent 3-4 hours in the parks. We spent more time driving to get TO the parks than we did IN the parks 2- Stay in a better beach area in Zanzibar, we stayed in Jambiani, the Villa was great, but the restaurant was offsite ~ 300 M away. (we either had to walk on the beach or if it was high tide we had to walk in the village to get there) 3- We should have trained more for the hike. I'd recommend using your daypack you bring with 15\20 lbs in it and doing stairs up and down. We had been doing regular hill hikes like this but started incorporating the stairs a month before we left, but probably should have done so earlier and more repetitions. Recommend using the stairs and walking track in an arena for example.

It was an incredible experience. Altezza Travel employs some of the best guides in the industry. Our chief guide, Jafari Osujack, and assistant guide, Eliakim Jeremiah, are truly exceptional—extremely knowledgeable and professional. The rest of the team was also incredibly accommodating, making our trip unforgettable.

Our first time on a safari. The email and online communication was very good and prompt responses. The driver was very professional and friendly and accomodating to our needs. Made the extra effort to ensure we got to see as many animals we could. The jeep and the quality of the lodges were excellent. We asked for extra activities during the tour and they were offered. Definitely recommend this agency for activities in Tanzania!

Amazing guides, porters…Overall the most amazing experience! The guides were Knowledgeable, kind, fun and most importantly, made us feel safe every step of the way. All of the staff that traveled with us were so grateful for a job and made us feel warm and welcome! They catered to every request our group of 8 ladies had. I am so happy we chose Altezza. Highly recommend!

Altezza took great care of us from start to finish. From the airports to the hotels to the climb. Everything was seamless & I could tell that they have been doing this for awhile. Very impressed with the way everything was handled. The guides were first class & the porters were amazing. We couldn't have done this climb without them. The guides had our best interest at hearts. And they really cared about getting us to the top safely. The only negative about this trip was the food wasn't all the great. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't dehydrated meal packs like I'm used to on these trips. They kept us well fed but it just wasn't to my liking. Other than that it was a trip of a life time & I owe it to Altezza.
