Great trek with Altezza! Can’t recommend enough. Go with the best - Great experience thanks to the staff and the crew. They were amazing. Right from initial contact 6 months prior to the trek to the time of return / departure, they were proactive, responsive, caring, professional and expert.

Yankee climbs kili - tl;dr Had an amazing time on and off the mountain: guides were very knowledgeable and set a perfect pace. The support team was incredible: food was delicious, tents and gear always arrived ahead of time waiting for you at camps, and logistics, in general, were very well managed and executed. I felt very cared for, and I could tell the team wanted climbers to succeed. I would highly recommend Altezza: it felt like a world-class operation. Before the trip, I arranged everything more or less via email with my manager Anna. She was very professional, knowledgeable, accommodating, and quick to respond. I would encourage you to listen to your manager's advice in general: for my initial itinerary, I was to arrive late at night before the first day. Anna flagged this as a bad idea, so I adjusted my flights to have an extra rest day. Very flag I did it, and likely contributed to summit success. I stayed at the main Altezza site/office in Moshi before and right after the climb. The hotel was good: nice restaurant, nice rooms, and very friendly staff. Sometimes the doors to rooms were a bit noisy, but I can't think of any other complaints. They are well equipped here with rental gear as well, should you need it. The drive to the gate was fun: you got to see some countryside and smaller towns, and the bus had Wi-Fi. A nice lunch was prepared when we reached the gate, then a final short drive to the trailhead. Our group started off with 10 people, and we merged with other smaller groups along the way (eventually reaching 15 people). The tents were sturdy; a pretty thick foam pad is also included for you. The campsites were nicely organized and clean (but this trip was during the low season). I settled into and really enjoyed the climb routing, and it ran like clockwork: hot tasty breakfast early, health check, hike, tea break, hike, lunch, hike, tea break, dinner, health check, sleep. I learned a lot from the guides as they led us up the mountain, and I found the pace just right. I was so impressed with how efficiently all the gear was moved from camp to camp. After slogging through so many climbs in California and the Pacific Northwest lugging my own pack/group gear, it was a luxury only to have to carry a day pack and then be greeted by a fully assembled personal tent and cozy group mess tent. Summit day was long, but you will have an amazing team (with 1:1 coverage) supporting you the entire time. Morale was boosted with songs and positive chat. Definitely the trip of a lifetime and amazing memories to reflect back on. The only hiccup I experienced was with my checked luggage: it was delayed one day, and two items went missing (I did not use any locks). Fortunately, rental gear was provided to avoid an interruption in my itinerary.

Altezza Travel exceeded expectations. - I cannot say enough good things about this company. From the initial planning to the transfer back to the airport, Altezza Travel was amazing. As you plan your trek with them, they are available to answer all questions, incredibly organized and flexible with changes. Everything was on time and exactly as planned. They own their own hotel, so all the rental gear is there, you can leave behind valuables and large bags for no additional charge (they are very meticulous about caring for your valuables, I was not concerned at all). Basically, everything can be accomplished at the hotel, it makes it very seamless and easy. The room are good, breakfast is included and the property is well taken care of. They have a small gym and a pool. The service they provided for the trek exceeded expectations. We had 3 guides and 30 porters for 7 of us. The equipment was in good shape and top of the line. The porter's equipment was also good quality. (Some of the budget companies do not take care of their porters). The food they provided was outstanding. Pancakes and eggs for breakfast, soup and chicken or beef dishes with rice, vegetables and fruit for lunch and dinner. Many condiments, peanut butter, jelly, Nutella, etc. Hot tea and even popcorn as an appetizer. They had no problem catering to special diets and that food was amazing as well. We ate in a large tent at one big table with regular chairs, a table cloth, and plates and silverware, very civil. The guides were incredibly knowledgeable and perceptive. They were very proactive about trying to keep us healthy. They watched everyone pretty closely and offered assistance if they saw you starting to struggle. We were briefed everyday on what to expect for the following day. They took the time to answer all questions and always asked for input on our plan. Everyday we are woken up with hot tea brought to the tent, nice touch. Half way though some of the day hikes they would set up a tea and biscuit table in the middle of the trail where we would stop to take a break, that was a nice touch as well. Summit night is incredibly strenuous. These are the guides that you want to assist you. They will carry your pack if need be, motivate you the whole way up and down and basically take care of you any way that they can. Altezza had two other groups of 14 people that started the same day as us, EVERYONE SUMMITED, all 35 people. That was impressive. We added on a three day safari and that service was top notch as well. The accommodations that they booked for us were really unbelievable, very nice. The vehicle was comfortable with Wi-Fi available and a refrigerator. The guide was knowledgeable and friendly. Couple of recommendations. Rent the private toilet. This is a game changer. Getting up in the middle of the night and having it right there was very convenient and the public ones were usually a hole in the ground, far from the camp. Bring snacks, bars, trail mix, etc. You don't need a thermos, some sites I read say to have one, not necessary. 5 in our group took Diamox, 2 did not, everyone summited, it's a personal choice. On a final note, I wrote an email with a couple of suggestions, and received an immediate response directly from the owner of Altezza Travel. Their customer service is bar none! This group really cares about their guests and you will be in the best hands.

The only company to climb Kili with - We couldn’t praise the Altezza team more highly. From initial contact and all throughout the booking process it was all so easy and responses were so rapid, it made the whole process very stress free and reassuring. On the climb itself we couldn’t praise our team enough - the guides, porters and entire team were outstanding, so kind and made the trip an absolutely amazing one. The team truly go above and beyond to make the trek enjoyable, and they were so dedicated to helping everyone summit safely - our entire group made it, thanks to the entire amazing mountain team (48 people for 10 of us!) All the equipment (tents, private toilet etc) and rental gear was excellent quality also.

A mountain to do once in your life. To put on your Bucket list. - Why did you choose the Altezza Travel agency for the ascent of Kilimanjaro? I wanted to have a local agency that knew the terrain well with experienced guides. A transparent and honest agency that was Eco-responsible. Who takes the well-being of its employees to heart, especially the porters. Without them, this would not be possible. Which prioritizes the safety and comfort of its customers while climbing Kilimanjaro. Why Altezza travel; For all the little details that make the difference. Like offering a hot water bottle to all your customers. A detail that keeps us warm in our sleeping bag. Or a hot tea when we get up at our tent in the morning. Meals worthy of very good restaurants with an outstanding chef even in the mountains. And especially the guide Emmanuel (Group: Turaco, Journey: Lemosho 7 days, from January 15 to 21, 2024). My guide who allowed me to reach the summit of Kilimanjaro with his porter colleague. Without the latter and the porter, I would never have reached the summit. Between Barafu Hut and the 5895 m summit, I had to stop almost 5 times due to lack of energy. Each time he offered me to take hot water with a sachet of energizing powder (Booster) and to take a little time out. Which allowed me to continue my ascent to the summit. And I would especially not like to forget the crew of around thirty employees supported by the great guide Joshua who with his experience of more than 300 expeditions to his credit at the summit and his knowledge allowed the team of 14 to reach the top. And Jafari for his support throughout the trek. Memorable and unforgettable moments and memories. An agency that takes care of us like a family member.

Kilimanjaro - Lemosho Routep - The team that supported me was amazing! I had the Lemosho 7 day route and the care was key to reach the goal! Food, equipment, guide, everything was perfect!

Kilimanjaro Prep Made Perfect with Constantine at Altezza! - I had an exceptional experience with Constantine at Altezza Travel while planning my Kilimanjaro tour. His responsiveness and willingness to dive deep into my queries were invaluable. The level of detail he provided, coupled with advice on what to expect and how to prepare, made a great difference. If you're planning a trip, Altezza and Constantine are your guys for an epic experience. Can't recommend them enough!

Pole Pole Kilimanjaro with Altezza - Our entire crew - guides (Eli and Albert), porters, support staff were the BEST! They were so committed to getting us to the summit! They took care of our mental and physical well-being! Best experience ever!

The best - First of all i would like to mention the company cooperation during my planning and preparation process for my vacation, they were highly helpful and supportive, reply all my questions so quickly and efficiently. Since my arrival they welcomed me at the airport, and drive me to the hotel. In the Next day they came to me and checked my stuff and equipment and they were so helpful and professional. During the hiking days the chef guide and other guides were so professional, supportive and friendly. Whatever we needed was there for us as i said to the guides they were like “Aladdin genie” their efforts was impressive. Whenever we arrived to the camp our camp has the best spot well prepared our meals are ready and our tents were well set and our duffle bags in our tents. While hiking we had breaks to have snacks and our breaks were well arranged and comparing with others our breaks were the best. I can’t write everything here but they were the best. They made our experience magnificent.
