Amazing Altezza
Wow wow wow! Altezza got a group of 7 of us up to the summit and back safely. They set up camp and portable toilets for us, the food was delicious, the crew catered to our every need. Two medical checkups every day. The campsites are very high quality - tents, sleeping bags, toilets, dining tent - all top notch. Our lead guide Joshua was perfect - very knowledgeable and a very good communicator. We enjoyed Joshua’s daily briefings and he was an excellent leader. The crew was incredible - they sang Swahili songs to lift our spirits and get us to the top. They were very attentive on the trail and lent a helping hand for large or awkward steps, and even offered their arms on the descent. They happily carried some of our packs. The camp manager, BillDad, ran the campground and was invaluable at camp, making sure we were clean and comfortable. Frankie, the food server, kept us well fed and entertained us with his singing. Daily on the trail, we would find Frankie waiting for us with a station set up for tea and snacks. All the guides were very approachable and we had good conversations. Our son loved sharing his music with Ernest (portable toilet porter), Goodluck (guide) and Regan (guide in training). Overall a fantastic experience - we could not recommend them more!

Honeymoon of a lifetime!
My husband and I planned our 3 week honeymoon through Altezza and it was the best experience we could've ever had! We did one week of safari, one week hiking Mount Kilimanjaro, and one week in Zanzibar. Altezza planned the entire trip, picking us up from every airport, seamlessly transferring us between our activities, and making sure we had the most amazing time.
Sophie at Altezza was our Travel Advisor. We worked with her for months and months planning the perfect itinerary. She blew us away! She would work odd hours in Tanzania just to be able to speak to us on the phone. She arranged for us to have the best accommodations, and she had champagne and a honeymoon sign waiting for us at every step along the way!
During our first week on safari, we had Cathbert as our driver and had a completely private tour all week! Cathbert was incredible - we somehow would find all animals before anyone else! He even had a "just married" sign on the back of our safari car. We saw the big 5 and MORE. It was the coolest experience ever.
During our second week, we hiked Mount Kilimanjaro through the 7-day Machame route with Joseph, Kelvin, Regis, Adrian leading our team of 9 hikers. All of 9 of summited! It would not have been possible without the porters and crew. Altezza was extremely professional on the mountain and personally made sure we all summitted. I would not feel comfortable with any other company now that we experienced Altezza's care.
And finally, during our third week we flew to Zanzibar where Altezza somehow managed to secure us one of only 3 private villas at our hotel! It was the perfect wind-down from the hike.
THANK YOU to Altezza, Sophie, Cathbert, Joseph, and all of the hiking team for making it the trip of a lifetime. Highly recommend!
