Exceptional Serengeti Safari Experience - We did a 4 day safari in central and northern Serengeti with Altezza after we finished a 7 day Lemosho hike (also with Altezza). Our planner Sophia did a great job helping us decide what areas we wanted to visit and where we wanted to stay. Our safari guide Noel was very knowledgeable and friendly and was able to find us amazing animal sightings at every turn. This part of our trip was a perfect peaceful ending to our very active Kili hike before and we couldn’t have asked for more - I highly recommend Altezza for your Tanzania safari experience (and Kili hike if you are doing that before - I wrote a separate review for that).

"OMG OMG OMG a giraffe", Noel imitating me (accurately) - The trip started with our driver, Harris, taking us to our hotel in Arusha - he wants to be a safari guide and he was so friendly, fun and communicative and really set the bar high for the actual safari! Noel was our guide for the trip, speaks French and English (I am a native French speaker so it was awesome to get some of the animal names and explanations in french), and we were successful in seeing all the animals we wanted! He was fun and knowledgeable, as well as flexible since we decided to spend a day with a friend we made on the Kili clim who was doing a solo safari. The lodges we stayed at (sound of silence in particular) were incredible - could see buffalos from our bed!!! The driving in those parks is BRUTAL, my full admiration to Noel and other safari guides and drivers, it's not an easy job!

Incredible experience. Will do this again in a heartbeat! - Incredible 1st time Safari Trip to Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Serengeti with wonderful experience thanks to Altezza Travel. All smooth and well organized and always on time with very nice guides. Special thanks to our safari guide Fidelis who is very knowledgeable, professional, friendly and always in happy spirit with lots of love for the animal and the places we've visited. He surprised us with an amazing picnic in Serengeti. It was all beyond my expectations. Will do this again in a heartbeat!

Incredible Trip to Ngorongoro Crater - Our visit to Ngorongoro crater was the icing on the cake after our Kilimanjaro Climb. From the very beginning Sophie was the most patient and understanding representative I have ever worked with. We were able to tailor our journey based on our needs and time constraints, and it couldn't have been more perfect! Our stay at Melia Ngorongoro Lodge was spectacular--5 star service all the way around. THE best place to stay at the crater. We were only able to spend one day in the crater but Anold our game driver was spectacular. We were picked up early from our hotel, enjoyed a 5 star lunch at the hippo pool and then more exploring in the crater. Anold was knowledgeable, friendly, funny, and overall fantastic host in this truly remarkable place. Julia also was responsive to our needs and questions while at the crater. The day after our safari Anold drove us back to Arusha where we had a wonderful lunch before he dropped us at the airport for our flight back home. This was the experience of a lifetime, we were sad it had to be so short, but look forward to bringing our families back here soon!

So many animals - Fidelis was a wonderful and knowledgeable guide as well as a great driver, navigating expertly across rugged terrain while spotting wildlife of all species. We were lucky to see hundreds of animals on our safari, from the smallest insects to the tallest giraffes. The accommodations each night were beautiful as well and we enjoyed the variance of landscapes across Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire and Serengeti. Having come from Kilimanjaro trek, we were happy to sit and watch animals but I would definitely recommend additional outdoor activities while in Tanzania because this was a lot of time in a vehicle. Overall great experience - thanks Fidelis!

Altezza Travel was the best! - If you are thinking of taking a wildlife safari in Tanzania, do yourself a favor and select Altezza Travel! Everything was perfect - from the on-time pickup at the airport in an air-conditioned, roomy van to first-class, fabulous accommodations to my excellent guide, Adam, who made sure I saw all the birds - my special interest - that were possible to see. I can't recommend Altezza Travel enough!

Outstanding safari - Our family (kids 15 and 12) did a safari with Valance. It was a wonderful experience. Altezza did a good job of getting us all together as my family flew in as I finished climbing Kilimanjaro. We stayed at several lodges and all were excellent. We saw all the animals were wanted to see. Valance, our guide, did a good job of asking which animals we most wanted to see and made sure we saw a cheetah, leopard etc. He also was receptive to the pace of safari that we wanted. He made the experience custom for our family. He also had an amazing sense of direction and was skilled at getting around the national parks. We went to Tarangire, Ngorogoro Crater and Serengeti. I recommend Altezza to everyone who asks me about our African trip! From landing to departure they had everything handled and most importantly when anything was wrong they were quick to help and remedy.

Safari during migration - We did 3 locations in 4.5 days. Our guide Fidelis was friendly, informative and customer oriented. The staff at all accommodations were warm and accommodating. We were there during migration. And it is beyond words amazing. Our guide was professional and really ensured we had the best experience. We would repeat this trip and recommend everyone we know come to Tanzania and use Altezza for all your excursions
