Kilimanjaro-beklimming, Machame-route (7-daagse)

My husband and I planned our 3 week honeymoon through Altezza and it was the best experience we could've ever had! We did one week of safari, one week hiking Mount Kilimanjaro, and one week in Zanzibar. Altezza planned the entire trip, picking us up from every airport, seamlessly transferring us between our activities, and making sure we had the most amazing time. Sophie at Altezza was our Travel Advisor. We worked with her for months and months planning the perfect itinerary. She blew us away! She would work odd hours in Tanzania just to be able to speak to us on the phone. She arranged for us to have the best accommodations, and she had champagne and a honeymoon sign waiting for us at every step along the way! During our first week on safari, we had Cathbert as our driver and had a completely private tour all week! Cathbert was incredible - we somehow would find all animals before anyone else! He even had a "just married" sign on the back of our safari car. We saw the big 5 and MORE. It was the coolest experience ever. During our second week, we hiked Mount Kilimanjaro through the 7-day Machame route with Joseph, Kelvin, Regis, Adrian leading our team of 9 hikers. All of 9 of summited! It would not have been possible without the porters and crew. Altezza was extremely professional on the mountain and personally made sure we all summitted. I would not feel comfortable with any other company now that we experienced Altezza's care. And finally, during our third week we flew to Zanzibar where Altezza somehow managed to secure us one of only 3 private villas at our hotel! It was the perfect wind-down from the hike. THANK YOU to Altezza, Sophie, Cathbert, Joseph, and all of the hiking team for making it the trip of a lifetime. Highly recommend!

As a solo female traveler I was a bit apprehensive about my trip to Tanzania. However Altezza was fabulous! The online booking agent Rita helped with all the pre-trip concerns and the Tanzanian staff were wonderful. I was picked up at the airport and taken to a beautiful hotel in Moshi. The guides (Joseph, Adrian, Regis & Calvin), porters, chef, servers (Ezekiel & Justin) and fellow group members made this climb memorable. We were even served a wedding cake half way up the mountain for the newlyweds on their honeymoon! I highly recommend Altezza for climbing Kilimanjaro.

My wife and I are incredibly grateful to have had Altezza’s skilled, kind and passionate Guides, Porters, support crew guide us safely to the top of Kilimanjaro and back down. The Altezza team was 100% focused on getting all 9 on our team to succeed. I cannot recommend Altezza enough for anyone who wants to climb this beautiful, majestic mountain.
