Northern Tanzania Trip
We had such a great time on our safari in Northern Tanzania (Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro). We saw a lot of animals and the beauty of the landscapes was just overwhelming. Everything was organized very well by Altezza Travel, they are absolutely professional. Our guide Tom was simply fantastic, we think that he is the best guide ever!! He made it possible to us to see a lot of animals, he was always punctual, always in a good mood, thanks to him we had a wonderful time. Also he told us a lot about local culture and we had a lot of interesting conversations.

Safari was amazing. Very informative tour. We liked our tour guide George very much, very professional and knowledgeable. Very good organized hotel pick up and drop off. Transportation was very comfortable. The food was very delicious, we liked it a lot. The places to stay was very nice. Definitely will recommend to everybody who wants to do this kind of activity. Will come again for sure.

An unforgettable experience!
For some years it was high on my list to go with my daughter (12 years old) travelling, to let her see elephants in the wild. This year was the year, we went to Tanzania with Altezza Travel to Tanzania and it was an unforgettable experience. For me to see how my daughter is experiencing her great adventure, I will never forget it and I am very grateful for having these memories now. I booked a private safari of 4 days, Simon was our guide and driver, we were fortunate to be in his company, we not only enjoyed his professionality but also we had a very good time together and I thank him very much for giving us this experience! We visited 3 parks;
Tarangire National Park, were we saw elephants for the first time! Ngorongoro Conservation Area (which is inside an unactive volcano) and Serengeti National Park, here my daughter also celebrated her 12th birthday at The Sound of Silence, at diner the entire Sound of Silence team came singing and dancing for her, you should see her face! Unforgettable!!! Thank you, Jan (owner) and your entire team, for such a hart warming birthday celebration!!
After the Serengeti back on the East African Highway for an African massage (because according to Simon, it is the worst highway in Tanzania, it is a very long dirt road), were we spent our last night at Ngare Sero Mountain Lodge. The next day we continued our journey to Zanzibar for more amazing experiences.
Thank you very much Altezza, Anastasia, Ana and Simon for giving us such a wonderful, everlasting experience.

Absolute Perfection
Our family just finished a 6 day Safari Tour of Arusha, Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and Serengeti. The Altezza crew made this an unforgettable experience from the beginning. Every detail of the trip was specifically curated for optimal results. Vita was amazing in the planning process and talked me off the ledge when our flight plans unexpectedly changed. The drivers, Rahim and Cathbert were so amazing every step of the way, it was a sad moment when we needed to part ways. We stayed at 3 of the Melia properties where every space and view was amazing and the service was the best I have ever had anywhere on the planet. I cannot say enough about the accommodations and service. One note of caution if you are trying to pack in a full schedule, Ngorongoro Crater to Serengeti Lodge is a taxing trip to tackle in one day. Now if I can only find Kilimanjaro Beer in the US...
Professional, outstanding, fun; in booking, coordination, pre/post climb and safari. All covered.
Coordination with the agents was faultless. Clear comms, great options and always followed up and delivered on queries/changes.
Crystal clear info on what to expect and requirements.
The trip was managed perfectly from flight landing to movement between climb/safari points.
The Kilimanjaro climb team were amazing. Very professional/knowledgeable, focused on getting all to the top safely, looking after each as needed.
Exceptionally well organised, and made the whole experience great fun.
The safari was organised and run very well - knowledgeable and friendly guide.
The staff at the various accommodations were friendly and pleasant.
Altezza seems to have got everything right, the team in Tanzania all seem extremely happy working for them - and it shows in the delivery.

Amazing!
I hiked Mount Meru and Mount Kilimanjaro and followed that with a safari over a 19-day period. Altezza provided an unbelievable experience with a great itinerary with exceptional staff. For the two hikes, everything was geared toward getting us to the top and keeping us safe with proper acclimatization, ample food, ensuring that we drank enough water, walking slowly and twice daily medical check-ups. All 14 members of our group successfully summitted Kilimanjaro. I was a sold client on Meru and successfully summitted that as well. My guide for the safari to Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangerie and Lake Natron was experienced (40 years of leading safaris) and led us to everything I wanted to see. All in all, a once-in-a-lifetime adventure!

Organized
Altezza and our personal guide were 10/10 fantastic. The administrative crew who helped with our booking on the front end were organized and communicated throughout the trip with check-ins. Everything from pick up to the organization of meals were well coordinated.
As for our safari guide, Carlos was the best! He was very knowledgeable of the areas we visited (Tarangire, Ngorogoro, and Serengeti) as well as the fauna and flora. He answered our many questions. His driving skills and knowledge were critical in us seeing the African Big Five. We were so appreciative of the experience he created for us.
We wanted value for dollars spent and Altezza delivered.

Amazing Experience
We had an absolutely unforgettable experience with Altezza! Our guide, Rasul Sultan, was truly exceptional. He went above and beyond to make sure we saw everything we wanted to see—and so much more.
From start to finish, Altezza made everything so easy. They took care of all the details, allowing us to simply enjoy the experience without having to worry about anything. Rasul was knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely committed to making our trip special.
He made the entire experience unforgettable, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide. We would highly recommend Altezza, and especially Rasul, to anyone looking for an incredible Tanzania experience!

An Incredible Safari — Far Exceeded Our Expectations!
We recently completed an amazing safari with Altezza Travel that started at the Gran Meliá Hotel in Arusha and took us through Tarangire National Park, the Ngorongoro Crater, and Serengeti National Park, finishing with a flight back to Arusha from the Serengeti airstrip.
The experience far exceeded our expectations. We saw more animals than we could ever have imagined, and the entire safari was absolutely incredible. For the value, we definitely feel we got our money’s worth.
Our guide, Razul Sultan, was fantastic. He was knowledgeable, professional, friendly, and genuinely enjoyable to spend time with. Having a great guide makes a huge difference on a safari, and Razul made the experience even better.
The accommodations were also a wonderful part of the adventure. One was like a beautiful villa overlooking Lake Manyara, while the other was an authentic camp right in the Serengeti. One thing we would mention to anyone doing this trip: don’t be concerned about the roads leading to the accommodations! Both involve some very rough 4x4 roads that don’t look anything like a road leading to a hotel or villa. We were a little surprised the first time, but that’s simply how you reach these wonderfully isolated places.
The Serengeti accommodation was an especially memorable experience. After dark, you are escorted to your room by someone carrying a spear because wild animals can be nearby. Don’t be frightened — it’s a normal safety precaution and actually adds to the adventure! The beds were very comfortable, and although there is no air conditioning, the fans and screened openings provided plenty of airflow for a comfortable night’s sleep.
One recommendation we would strongly make is to fly back to Arusha rather than drive if that option is available. The drive back takes approximately 7–8 hours, with much of it on very rough dirt roads with constant little bumps. After an incredible safari, the flight is a much more enjoyable way to finish the trip.
Overall, this was an unforgettable experience, and we would highly recommend Altezza Travel. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide than Razul Sultan, and the safari exceeded our expectations in every way.

Amazing, Rasul Sultan totally shows he loves what he does
Doing this safari with Altezza Travel was the best experience I have ever had. Rasul and the others do their jobs so well. They are all very friendly and helpful. I would recommend this to anyone who wishes to travel and experience seeing local sites and wild animals. WOW!!!
