Kilimanjaro klättring, Kilimanjaro kraterrutt (10 dagar)

Our group of 5 completed this journey with the Altezzq team in September 2024. We were more than impressed with all aspects of the trip. From the moment we made our first enquiry, Maria helped us customise our trip to our needs and provided timely support and information. Accommodation prior to and after the trek was amazing. The Altezza drivers who collected us and dropped us to airport were just the best. During the trek, Victor and his team were brilliant. They really put our health and wellbeing at the centre of everything we done during our ten days on the mountain. Food was great. Tents were awesome. The whole crew were fun and supportive. We could not have asked for a better experience. Thank you Altezza team for making our journey to the top of Africa one to remember!

After a lot of research, we selected Altezza for our private climb - the 10-day Lemosho route. Following that we went for a 6-day safari. And we are very pleased to say that we selected the best company. Right from planning the tour, our tour manager Aya helped with everything down to the finer details. The climb and safari were very well organised. Our mountain guide -Baraka- who deserves a very special mention, Athuman and all the team of porters - are the best team I would say. With their planning and encouragement our Kilimanjaro expedition was a big success. Our experienced chef prepared nutritious meals for us through out the climb. Another special mention goes to Onesmo - who accompanied us throughout the trek including the summit. He was a great help. I would like to mention the safari as well - very well planned, excellent accommodation and another special mention of our experienced and patient safari guide Abdul. Overall we had the experience of our life thanks to the wonderful Altezza team. Once again thanks to Aya, Baraka and the team for treating us so well. I would definitely recommend Altezza as a tour company.

What an experience! I climbed Mount Kilimanjaro with my two adult children in Jan/Feb and came back home with memories to last a lifetime. The end to end process with Altezza Travel could not have been handled any better. My first contacts were with Angelina who patiently described various options and answered all of our questions. She was extremely accommodating as we made some close-in changes to dates and itinerary. In short, she went out of her way to be gracious and helpful. Our on-site contacts - Julia and Victoria - were professional and thorough. All of our equipment was properly checked, they made excellent suggestions on some supplemental items and answered all our last minute questions. And finally, our crew, led by our guides Shabani and Kibacha, were just outstanding. They treated us with the utmost care and made us feel like guests in their home. We will be forever grateful to them for the critical role they played in helping us accomplish our goal. I can't recommend Altezza strongly enough. From the moment of first contact until the certificate ceremony at your hotel, the entire company is a group of consummate professionals. One last thing, but this is really important. During the climb one of our porters got quite seriously ill and had to be taken off the mountain. I learned later that he was escorted to the gate, met by ambulance and spent three days in the hospital. I asked Kibacha what happens to this porter - Is he on his own or does Altezza look after him and his welfare? Kibacha told me that it is Altezza that arranges for the hospital transport, Altezza that pays all the hospital bills and Altezza that pays the porter for the climb, even though he wasn't able to complete it. That's the kind of company I want to give my money to. It's probably not too difficult to exploit workers in this region of the world. I'm happy to know that Altezza places a premium on the welfare of its employees. I'll probably never climb Mount Kilimanjaro again...once is enough and it is really hard! But if I return to this region of the world again, I would most certainly use Altezza again to arrange any excursions.
