Altezza - uncompromising professionalism! - WOW!!! A short time after returning from one of the best experiences we've had, I feel compelled to write an honest review about our time with Altezza. To give you some context, we are a group of 11, some of whom are in the midst of physical rehabilitation. From the outset, Daria, the company's representative, was both understanding and highly efficient. I communicated with her for months before the climb and was always met with prompt and positive responses. Upon arriving at the hostel owned by Altezza, it was immediately apparent that we were in the hands of professionals. Altezza clearly strives to perform every task with precision, and it shows. Our guides (Eliakim - Head guide, Jonas, Francis, Godluck, and Godson) were exceptional, expertly blending positive energy with professionalism. Their guidance, spirit, and expertise all converged to lead us to the summit, which we all reached. In addition, Altezza provided a truly unique and safe adventure, complete with top-notch equipment, delicious food, and regular medical check-ups. I firmly believe that choosing Altezza is a decision you won't regret, and I would select them time and again! A heartfelt thank you to Altezza for one of the most remarkable experiences ever!

The best company to plan your Tanzania vacation with - Wonderful trip - Altezza (which translates to “Badger” BTW) is clearly the front runner among the tour companies. It is truly a surreal experience to be climbing the mountain and come across the mid morning hot tea break they have prepared for you, and they will do everything they can to make your trip successful. It was our honeymoon trip and they went the extra mile toake it special for us. We did a safari, climbed Kilimanjaro, and toured Zanzibar with them.

THANK GOD FOR ALTEZZA - I can’t recommend Altezza enough for anyone who wants to tackle Kilimanjaro. They are the BEST. From the communication, to the flexibility, to the actual team that takes you up the mountain, you are NEVER left alone. Your questions are always answered and you always feel SAFE. As they say, their first priority is safety and their second priority is making sure you achieve your dream of climbing Kilimanjaro. PICK ALTEZZA! YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!

Incredible experience! - Amazing once in a lifetime experience! I cannot recommend Altezza enough. We had the most incredible experience climbing Kilimanjaro and that was mostly due to the wonderful guides and porters who assisted us. We camped in incredible luxury all the way up the mountain- better than I camp at sea level. We had 3 cooked meals a day, with 3 different courses. All meals were extremely fresh and delicious- you could serve it in a restaurant. They catered extremely well for my celiac friend, making her own dishes every day. We were looked after like royalty- with comfortable chairs to sit in and your tent set up on arrival at every camp, including tea stops every single day. We had medical checks every morning and evening and the guides always carried oxygen. I won't spoil all the surprises that Altezza provides, but it was worth every penny. Everyone in our group made it up - using the Lemosho 8 day route which I would highly recommend. Most importantly, Altezza treats their staff very well, as vouched for by the people we spoke to, this was something that was very important for us when choosing a company. The porters and guides deserve every penny you can afford to tip. The strength of the porters is incredible. Our guides and chefs deserve mentioning: Kombe, Nalasco, Eliakim, Godfrey T, Godfrey A, Justin, John, Amri, Margreth, Catherine, Pasco and Kileo. But this list is not exhaustive as every single one of our 57 guides/porters for only 11 guests contributed to making this the most magical experience. I wish I could do it again!

Altezza - The best company for a tour of Mount Kilimanjaro - Excellent organization. Super support in case of missing equipment. Guides were very professional and managed the hikes optimally and provided a lot of additional information. The entire crew has permanently provided a good mood and played a major part in the success of the hike.

Lemosho 8 day - Had the best time with the best guides. Camp was always ready for us when we got there, even if we were hiking quickly. Couldn’t have gotten up the mountain without the whole crew. Would 100% recommend this route for acclimatization and just to spend more time enjoying the views.

Jambo Bwana - The whole experience with Altezza was incredible. We didn't have to make a single decision from the moment we landed knowing we were in good hands with the folks at Altezza. Special shout out to our guides: Stanley, Exaud and GoodLuck who brought professionalism, humor and great vibes to keep us in high spirits throughout our 8 day trek. Our private group of 5 felt completely safe, motivated, and laughing non-stop on our way to the summit. We trusted them completely knowing they would adapt the trek to our speeds and physical ability and they did not let us down. Definitely make sure you recommend them. To all the rest of the Altezza team of porters, cooks, cleaners, and waiters (special shout out to the GOAT, Faraja), thank you for not only helping us make our dreams of summiting come true, but to do so while having such a fun time. They all really know how to fuse the vacation aspect with the trek to make it a memorable experience.
