Kilimanjaro climb, Marangu route (6-day)

What started out as a solo trip, ended with family bonds. There is no words to describe the experience we had. But ill give it a go... The team of Altezza had such an amazing vibe. Everyone was helpful and kind. Making the entire trip a life changing experience! From the cooks who specially brought me chilli with every meal to the porters who carried our bags and made sure we were safe and surrounded with love and support. I will not only mention Felix but all of the porters. We danced, laughed and adventured together through the days filled with the best food ???? by the cooks. Joshua who was the head guide ensure that each of us were individually seen too in the most challenging time of the summit and every moment before that too. He taught me about the fauna and flora of the mountain and guided me through a very challenging time. He was assisted by Imran, Mongi, Munier, Adam. Not too mention the lady porters. I am in awe of their strength !!! Wow ... At meal times we were treated with the original Nutella and Cadbury chocolate milk which made the cold evenings bliss... one of our group was so smitten with the Nutella, she even summited with the new tub and we used it to celebrate after. I speak on behalf of my group knowing full well that we all agree. THIS WAS THE BEST GROUP TRIP EVER!!!! we all stood together as one living up to the daily mantra of one team one dream!!! Hakuna Matata ❤️ I have to personally commend Imran for ensuring my safe summit or shall I rather say my summit at all... hehehehe And then a safe return to ground by skiing along with me and Phim on the way down. My only suggestion would be lower steps at the huts for the short people (the short people is me) and normal toilets... because hahahahha you know ! ???? Thank you Altezza for the amazing experience. Your organisation and overall care taken is just freaking awesome!!!! I can go on for days but im limited in this review. Im so happy I chose you ????

Celebrated our 10-year anniversary and not sure how to top it after this adventure! Incredible experience from booking to checking in and throughout the climb from gate to summit and back. Walked away with the most rewarding experience and made 25 new friends in the process. The wake up each morning with fresh tea/coffee, with the guides always ensuring we were healthy and safe and all the support from the entire team was next level. This is a group that is there for you from every single step. Book now with them. Thank you everyone at Altezza for making this possible and memorable!!

From start to finish, my experience with Altezza travel was absolutely incredible. I went from the 2nd October last year, and I realised having looked back at those fond memories that I hadn't done a trip advisor review as well as emailing my thanks. Here is my experience as a 19 year old solo female traveller! My arrival at the hotel went very smoothly, the truck to pick me up was on time and with a friendly driver, who assisted with my luggage. On arrival at the hotel, which was very clean and excellent service all round, I was introduced to Happy, who helped with my packing and checked everything was suitable and ready for the climb and she was a credit to the team, very reassuring and nothing was too much trouble. The next day we started on Marangu 6 day route, and I joined a team of 4 other climbers, our main guides Stanley and Valency, and the fantastic team of porters. I could go into so much more detail about the climb but here is my overall feedback of the trip: The porters were exceptional, assisting us with luggage, bringing all the food and supplies and the chefs were very talented, working off a mountain and yet giving us a range of nutritious meals, we never went hungry and everything was delicious. All of the team helped to boost morale, and were the backbone of our climb being successful. Now, Stanley and Valency are literal superstars, and immensely good at their jobs. Stanley was so knowledgable and had vast experience in the industry, and was the reason I made it to the summit, as well as assisting me down the part that I struggled with on descent from the summit, and for that I cannot thank him enough. Valency was so friendly, excellent mountain paparazzi and kept us all motivated whilst assisting everyone subtly and leading to their success. Both of them ensured we were warm enough, and gave us the best chance of success - all of our team made it to the summit! Truly the best experience ever, and I am so glad I chose to travel with Altezza, and the way they treat all their staff is excellent. I wish Stanley and Valency all the best, and thank you again.
