Review of: Tanzania safari (3-day)
I can't say enough about Altezza Travel. They responded to any question I had day or night promptly. Picked us up at the airport and gave us 5 star accommodations. Food and staff at each location when over an above. I can't say enough about our Safari Guide Yusef, He was experienced and had a lot of knowledge. Yusef went above and beyond with finding a leopard and giving us great lunches on the safari. He became part of our family as we went to each national park together. He was patient and added more to the trip like taking us to see the Massai and helping us buy a soccer ball at the market place to bring back to the Massia! I had a birthday while on the safari and Altezza arranged a wonderful cake with my name on it and the restaurant staff came out singing for me with the cake, a highlight. I will definitely recommend Altezza for any friends and family taking a safari.…

Organised a short private safari with Altezza post Kili hike which was a great decision. Before travelling, Angelina was very responsive and supportive in developing a customised itinerary that maximised the activities to see while having time to relax. Settled on a two day Tarangire safari which was superb. Phillip my guide was super friendly , knowledgeable and provided detailed info and stories on all wildlife seen. The accommodation choice of the Simba lodge was superb and one of the best places I have stayed. It is the attention to detail and customer service that really stands out…

Review of: Kilimanjaro climb, Marangu route (6-day)
Sales: Vlada was awesome, so helpful, always answering our many questions quickly, and supporting us with all the changes we had to make due to COVID and Qatar Airways flight cancellations. Her guidance/info on visas, equipment, etc was very helpful. Overall I felt altezza offered good value for money. Kilimanjaro: Very helpful operations check-up of our gear on day 1. Amazing climbing/porter team, very helpful and without whom our climb would not have been possible or enjoyable. Rama and Ally were our super guides, helping us through each step--pole pole and hakuma matata! Great route, and given how freezing cold nights were it was the best decision to not sleep in tents! Wooden huts were basic, comfortable, and quite spacious. We were lucky to have a 4-bed hut for only 2 of us. Food on the mountain was excellent and varied, and my gluten-free needs met by our amazing chef Albert(!)…

Review of: Kilimanjaro climb, Marangu route (6-day)
My husband and I climbed Kilimanjaro via Marangu route June 13th-18th, 2022. We had been planning this trip for about 2.5 years (I postponed our original plan for 2021 due to pandemic). Altezza was great with communicating and kept us updated and prepared. Our trekking experience was above and beyond what we imagined. Our guides prioritized our safety and completed two safety checks a day. The quality of service that was provided was beyond what we ever imagined for this trip. The food was delicious and plentiful. There was a warm meal 3 times a day, even a warm lunch served on trail during longer hiking days. The entire crew from the guides, porters, chef, and our go-to guy at camp- Pascal, were all so friendly and cheerful. They even surprised me and baked me a birthday cake and sang Happy Birthday in the mess hall at camp at 12,000 ft. after we summited since it was my birthday. I was overwhelmed with emotion at how grateful I was for the service they provided- especially on the summit trek which was quite challenging but so rewarding. They motivated us with song and positive talk, helped carry gear when needed, and I know we would not have made it if it wasn't for them.…

Review of: Kilimanjaro climb, Marangu route (6-day)
The Kilimanjaro climb was incredible - mainly because of the support provided by Altezza. Our guides Eliakim, Emmanuel, Frank, our chef (Alex, I think), our waiter, and the many porters making up our team truly made the climb an unforgettable experience. In addition I was impressed by the people serving as transfer drivers - like Josef. Altezza has wonderful people like Josef getting you where you need to go, and each was kind and informative. The thorough pre-climb check-in process managed by Meera, an Altezza rep, gave me comfort that, from a gear and supplies perspective, we had what we needed for a successful summit effort. Finally, Altezza offers the comfortable Hotel Aishi for pre- and post-climb accommodations. The hotel staff was very attentive and friendly and made our time at there comfortable. Gode, who was often at the front desk, was, similar to Josef, a perfect representative of Altezza. It was a joy to interact with him and the other hotel staff. If you are planning to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro know that it is quite an effort - and you'll need good support to make it to the top. You cannot go wrong trusting the Altezza team.…
