First class trip from start to finish. Planning was spot on. Crew was truly amazing. A shout out of gratitude to Regan David Lyimo and Frank Daudi Mbise for their amazing assistance in getting me down the last 13 km with a bum knee. You two were so far above and beyond any expectation in your desire to help and allow me to complete my trek. Communication was fantastic with Maria who planned our trip without a hic-up…. Thank you to all involved in making a once in a life time trip to Kilimanjaro.

Beyond words. From start to finish…ahhhmazing. To quote our guide Khatib. Khatib brought the positives vibes with his spirit, knowledge and smiles. Albert was our lead guide and he made sure we had a successful adventure. Cannot praise him enough. Ally was our third guide. He was always there to get me over boulders and rocks!
The guides were truly gifted. They kept us motivated and safe. We were a group of 5 women on private hike via northern route. The mountain and our guides perfectly trained us all to acclimate and summit.
The food served by Steven was truly delicious and nutritious. The camp was set up and ran perfectly by porter Rashid. He helped wrangle us all together each morning to get ready for our new day.
Robert was our young porter in charge of our 2 private bathrooms. A tent with a portapotty. It was always well maintained and he did it with grace and a smile. Big props to Robert! He will make a fantastic guide someday!
Altezza thought of everything.
Their group on the ground were very dedicated to us 5 women. There were 29 of them taking care of us!
Team OG!!
Thank you for an adventure of a lifetime!

I cannot say enough amazing things about Altezza Travel. From Denis helping with all logistics during the planning stage, to our Kilimanjaro and Safari teams, it was outstanding. You can view Melanie D and Jenna B reviews for more specifics and photos. We spent a tremendous amount of time researching tour organizations prior to our trip and all 5 of us couldn't have been more pleased with Altezza. The care and detail they delivered was exceptional. We're a well traveled group and were blown away at the level of customer service and care provided by everyone we encountered. The warmth of heat, gracious hospitality and genuine care for our well being was top notch. Save yourself a lot of research time and book straight away with Altezza.
