Would 100% recommend Altezza! Our team leader was Peter who was exceptional in organising the team to assist our group of 8 on the expedition. The other guides we had helping us were amazing, and were Godson, Osward and Joesph. The overall team of porters and chefs were incredible, always with a smile on their face.
The food was excellent and they catered to our dietary requirements. The team adjusted the pace for our group to make sure we were all comfortable. They answered any questions we had about the mountain. We learnt so much from them in terms of not only the mountain itself but also life philosophy too.
Summit day was a big challenge for us, however the team motivated us and we all managed to summit. In particular Peter, Godson and Osward struck the right balance in terms of pushing us to our limits and enabling us to succeed.
We were also told by many members of the team that Altezza treat their staff very fairly and they were all happy to work for them.
The second day we started our Mt. Kilimanjaro climb. We took 8 days Lemosho route. Our group leader, guides, cook, waiter, camp supervisor, all the porters and other crew members were very Profesional, efficient and I couldn't ask for more. They made our experience special.
After that we went on 4 days of safari, again, everything was well planed and organized. I definitely recommend Altezza travel to anyone who wants a smooth and unforgettable Tanzania experience.
great, very warm service and food ❤️
Lead guide Stanford, second guide Osward- and all the team, you are the best. Thank you !
Thanks to Richard and Richard and the team again, we all made it to the top and had lot of good time with our group and the entire crew.
I would definitely recommend anyone to take this agency !
Altezza hits it out of the park on the big wins: safety, logistics, and expertise. Their guides conducted twice daily health checks, measuring blood oxygen to ensure we were acclimating appropriately and they had medication ready to cover any malady. On summit day they carried oxygen as a safety measure that I found necessary after experiencing altitude sickness and the team even provided to another suffering climber whose guides were not carrying oxygen. Not all guide services have these safety measures!
The logistics flow was impressive from the get-go with airport and hotel shuttles. The camp logistics on-mountain was even more so. We’d depart camp after breakfast, they’d have tea and snacks set up along the trail, we’d arrive at lunch to find the mess tent already set up with lunch ready, just to find it and our sleeping tents set up again at the end of the hike with tea and popcorn waiting and dinner shortly to follow. The consideration that the porter team put into our comfort was overwhelming.
The expertise on the team was unquestionable. Altezza clearly takes hiring very seriously and recruits knowledgeable guides. Professionals across the board who we greatly trusted.
With the big wins checked off in style, Altezza goes above and beyond with personal touches that make the trip truly memorable. I think most memorable for us was the tradition and ceremony that the team brought to the experience - celebratory group singing and dancing especially, even cakes and champagne! Then small things like hot water bottles to keep sleeping bags warm really made us feel well cared for.
A few personal call-outs to wrap up:
Joshua was our lead guide and the utmost professional. It was readily apparently how deftly he led a large team (22 porters to our 5 hikers). On summit day, I struggled a lot with the altitude, but Joshua went above and beyond to ensure that I was able to safely make it to the summit, conducting medical checks en route and fueling us all up through to the top. Thanks coach!
Agrey was one of our other guides and was steady as a rock. He kept a very close watch over me as a dealt with altitude on summit day and was wonderful in managing the group and pace on every day leading up to summit. Thank you Agrey!
Hamsa, our third guide, was perhaps our most energetic. He spent an entire day with one of our hikers’ cameras scampering between rocks to get the best possible pictures of our experience (we even spotted him on the opposite side of the valley getting a long-range shot before he popped up with us not a moment later!). On summit day, he personally escorted me back down the mountain after my bout of altitude sickness. Thank you Hamsa!
Musa was one of our summit porters and carried everything from my bag to hot tea to oxygen for us. He then carried my bag all the way down the mountain and further. He even gave me his own rain pants to keep me dry. He also pulled out a Santa outfit from nowhere for fun on the summit. Thank you, Musa - you are incredibly considerate and generous!
Frankie served us all of our food and was as charming a personality as you could imagine. He pushed food on us better than any grandmother I’ve met to keep us well-fueled. A great dancer and performer during the traditions, signing, and dancing that were so memorable too! Thank you Frankie!
Then in some travel blog I saw Alteza company mentioned and decided to give a shot.
From the first message the manager was very knowledgeable, reacted fast and built a feeling of trust.
So, first of all I would like to tell that we are very grateful to Vlada, who was in communication with us during the preparation phase and further.
All the events were just in time. The car for safari was clean, equipped with wifi and binoculars, snacks and water. All the accommodations were comfortable and cozy.
Separately a super huge thank to our Safari guide David, professional, easy going, attentive to the road and always happy to show animals and tell the interesting facts about wild nature. We can’t be more grateful.
Thanks to our super guide - Robert.
From the breathtaking wildlife sightings to the knowledgeable guides and seamless arrangements, it exceeded our expectations.
Unforgettable experience!!!
We spent the first and the third night at Gran Melià Arusha and our rooms had a wonderful view on Kilimangiaro (best room view ever). The second night we slept at Mawe Mawe, where people were very kind and we got emotional when they sang “Jambo Bwana” to say us goodbye in the morning when we left. Rooms with private swimming pool were amazing and we spent our time before dinner to look at deep blue sky full of stars!
Food was very good. Also, we tasted local coffee and we falled in love with it!
The safari at Tarangire National Park and Ngorongoro Conservation area was amazing and we spotted many animals including the big five!!
David was a brilliant guide. He supported our demands and explained all very well.
Tanzanian people are very kind and we hope to be back in the future!
This unforgettable african experience gifted us a lot of emotions.
A special thanks to Vlada, who organized all very well! ????
I can't wait to recommend Alteza Travel for safari adventure in Tanzania ????
Since the first contact, the planning and details provided were flawless, and you feel that you can count on their reassuring experience.
But besides their incredible support, the crew assigned exceeded all expectations! They are the ones that really put us on the top of the mountain, and do absolutely everything to make sure that we reach your goal in the best conditions! We can’t thank enough to Joshua Nnko as our leader, and all his team (namely Athumani Goigoi, Innocent Minja, Emmanuel Issangya, Gerald Kimaro, Godfrey Kipokola, Frank Mbise, Bildard Palangyo, James Massawe)! They were just Amazing! Their effort, dedication, experience and care will be kept in our memories forever! What a moment! The words “life time experience” are not a cliché. They really make it happen!
For all that are considering to climb Kili, don’t hesitate on choosing them to be your guides. Thanks to all the crew for giving us so much, and for all the memories created. Asante Sana!!!
Our trip went smoothly from the beginning, contacting Altezza to drop off at the airport.
Alina was there every step of the way, quickly responded to any questions we had.
Our guide and driver Robert was very knowledgeable and carrying and made our experience absolute best.
