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!

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.

Trip of a lifetime! - We booked our Meru, Kilimanjaro (Rongai) and Safari trips with Altezza at short notice. From the very beginning, the communication from Sophia at Altezza was very efficient, seamless with lots of sound, practical advice and guidance, leaving us feeling in very good hands. The whole experience from start to finish was incredibly efficient. On both Meru and Kili, our expedition crew from porters to cooks and guides, all were superb - very friendly, efficient, helpful and extremely professional. On Safari, our driver and guide, Elisha was excellent in every way. He worked hard to ensure we got the best safari experience and exceeded our expectations of seeing an incredible array of animals. Pick-ups, transfers and all logistics were well organised and seamless. All the Altezza staff at the Aishi Machame were extremely helpful and friendly, particularly Agnes who helped us out. Aishi Machame hotel staff were excellent and helpful. The whole trip has exceeded our expectations and we cannot recommend Altezza strongly enough. A great organisation in every way! Thank you Altezza for your hard work and enduring memories!

An Experience of a lifetime! - I wish I could capture all my emotions in words about this trip. I would highly recommend planning and doing this trip with Altezza. They are truly the best of the best and this is not an exaggeration. From the start of the trip (the planning phase), to the end of the trip - absolutely everything was done perfectly. And their Service is exceptional. They really make sure you have the best trip, and take care of all the small and big things that you need for this trip to be successful. A huge shoutout to my planning manager Denis who answered all of my questions and made me comfortable about this trip. I cannot say enough about our climbing guides Joseph, Julius, Jackson and Khatib. Absolutely exceptional in ensuring you're safe while also making sure you're having a great time. Every single day is planned for you, and there's very little you will have to worry about. The porters, chefs, others provide you with exceptional service with a smile. I cannot say more positive things about them. I'd like to specifically also mention our Kitchen staff Munir and Ellie - our shoe shiners, Emmanuel and Denis for taking so much care of us. It honestly felt like such an organized and hearty experience. Altezza will go out of their way to make sure you're comfortable and celebrate with you as well. I'm not sure how the price compares to other companies, but they are worth every penny. I also wish I could have tipped more to the porters and guides because they really do so much. I'm glad I planned this experience with a great company and highly recommend you do too! Much love to the Altezza team. Cheers

Kilimanjaro climb with Altezza (Lemosho route) - I have just returned from a successful climb of Kilimanjaro and can highly recommend Altezza Travel as the best company to complete the climb. Right from my initial emails to them, they (Vita) were very responsive and made sure I was fully aware of all the things I needed to consider before paying my deposit. They provide you with a huge amount of information that you need, to make sure you are prepared for the adventure and their website and guidance pages are so easy to use. Once in Tanzania, their team makes sure that you’ve brought everything you need with you OR will make sure what you’ve rented fits properly. I would certainly recommend using their rented gear as it is all very good quality and kept me warm at the summit! We stayed at the Aishi Machame hotel which is a super boutique type hotel on the edge of the jungle. The pool is a great place to relax before and after your climb. The Altezza guides and porters did a fantastic job of making sure my team of 13 people all kept well and hydrated throughout the whole climb. Breakfast and a three-course lunch and dinner is provided and the food is all good quality and well cooked – including the popcorn that we got at the end of each day! A morning tea break with biscuits was also a welcome rest on the trek. Our Team Guide, Richard and his team were superb and made sure every person reached the summit. Everyone had a twice-daily health check and Diamox (altitude medicine) was supplied by the team. In addition to all of the above, my wife was sent a GPS link so that she could track our way to the summit and down. Thanks to Altezza, I always felt in very safe hands. Everyone I met from the company was very very helpful and wanted you to make the most of your adventure. It really is a company that prides itself on customer service. I will definitely be going back to Altezza but next time for a safari holiday.

Unforgettable Experience - I cannot see how this adventure could be improved on in anyway. The communication prior to departure was excellent allowing us to arrive in Tanzania confident we were ready to begin. Once on the walk, the hard work of the support staff made everyone in the team feel welcome and safe at all times, which helped to facilitate an unforgettable experience. The guides (Albert, Victor, Joseph, Simon to name a few) were professional and friendly to a level far exceeding any expectations. They cared for each of us individually ensuring we were in good health and spirts as we climbed. They wouldn’t hesitate to take our bags, give up their kit or water to us if needed, or anything else that would help to keep us more comfortable or safe. The food was always good and in healthy portions, there were always hot drinks available and plenty of other additional comforts the staff supplied. I cannot recommend this enough.
