4-day Tanzania Safari

Our guide with Altezza was excellent. Our guide (Rassuel?) had three great characteristics. 1st) As a wildlife guide he was excellent, he knew the parks well, was excellent at tracking the animals, and the was well versed on their habits, characteristics, environments and habits. He made sure we saw every animal that existed within the specific parks. 2nd) Our guide was an excellent driver. This is not something to be taken lightly in Tanzania. Driving is a challenge! The terrain in the parks is complex, balancing rough roads with even rougher roads.He would get us to great viewing locations with out every compromising our safety. 3rd) He kept us on schedule. We stayed in some excellent resorts, that often were beyond description. He made sure we where we needed to be when and where, keep us feed, and provided plenty of washroom breaks. If I had one negative, it was the vehicle windows. They did not easily open for quick photo shots. Yes, the top was open most of the time, but sometimes when underway it would have been nice to have the windows open. All in all an excellent experience. Altezza left no detail alone.

Had the best safari with our guide Rasul. He was able to find us literally every animal in our list in the parks plus more. Everything was insanely easy with Altezza; barely had to use a single braincell. Lodges were incredible, food was great. Would strongly recommend AltezA for expertise and ethics.

Our group of 3 had a great safari experience with our guide Rasul- we visited Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and Serengeti, and had arranged lodging along the way. Rasul is incredibly knowledgeable in all things African wildlife, but also gave us thoughtful information about Tanzania culture as well. He managed to help us see every animal on our wish-list plus MANY more, including the elusive leopard! He was also a very skilled and attentive driver, which is important considering the amount of driving involved in the adventure. He demonstrated care for others when we encountered a stalled vehicle, and had good humor too. Overall great experience with Rasul and Altezza company as a whole on safari & would recommend.

I had a wonderful safari with Khalid, definitely worth the price. He was very experienced, knew lots about all the animals we came across in Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Serengeti. We saw lions, hyenas, a leopard, a cheetah, many elephants and birds. He was a good driver and always tried to find the best spots for us to watch and take photos of the animals. The Altezza staff were very responsive and also flexible, they helped us organize a visit to the Olduvai Gorge museum last minute. Definitely recommend adding that to any safari trips to the area, it’s a small but very interesting museum that explains the significance of the area for archaeology.

It was a great experience to go through different national parks. We have seen a lot of animals and our guide did an excellent job. The jeep was quite comfortable and offered wi-fi. The group size of 4 people was almost perfect. Unfortunatelly you can't chose with whom you in the car.. Nevertheless our driver did a great job and found a way to satisfy everyone on board.

Aloyce was our driver and he was excellent. He knew the answer to all our questions, made sure we were always at the front if there were several vehicles viewing animals, and found the perfect places for lunch - either in the middle of the animals or on a hill overlooking an amazing view. We'd just climbed Kilimanjaro and Altezza swapped our tour members so we could be a group of 4 girls. It made the trip extra special and we really appreciated their flexibility. I can't say enough good things about Altezza. Everything is taken care of from the moment you contact them to book, until the day you leave. I've travelled a lot and this was my best travel experience ever. I'd give them 10 stars if that was possible.

We had a fantastic time. Mohammed was an excellent driver and guide. Very personable and knowledgeable. The accommodation and meals were also excellent. If your budget allows, do the hot air balloon for a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We’ve been to Kruger Natl Park in South Africa several times and this experience was quite different (e.g., luxury accommodation, no self-drive, different landscape) but very satisfying.

Amazing safari, made perfect by our guide and driver Khalid.

Great experience! Everything happened as planned. Great people, beautiful atmosphere

Unforgettable experience. We saw every animal the parks had to offer, save a leopard. But we saw a leopard kill hanging in a tree; the leopard had retired to nearby brush to nap. Otherwise, lions, zebra, hippos, rhinos, baboons, Impala, gazelle, cheetahs, wilde beasts, water buffalo, warthogs, ostriches, hyenas, giraffes, elephants, crocodiles, and so many birds. You name it; we saw it. Not only did we see them, we got extremely close on many occasions. Our guide/driver, Paschel, was exceptional. He knew how to find animals and give us the best view of them. Every day we beheld something spectacular. All the lodges were exceptional -- great food, comfortable beds, wonderful hospitality, attentive service. I added on a balloon ride and I'm glad I did. It is expensive, but worth every penny. Don't miss it. I can't say enough about Altezza: from start to finish, everything was extremely well organized. Our every whim, care, and need was well attended to without having to ask. They truly go above and beyond. I honestly don't know how the trip could have been any better. Know before you go: the roads are VERY rough. Be prepared to be jostled around for 10-12 hours a day. Altezza's vehicles are comfortable, reliable, and loaded with creature comforts, but small children or people with back issues may find the long, bumpy days challenging.
