Exceptional company! - This was our second time booking with Altezza. Our first time was last June when we climbed Kilimanjaro and our experience with the team and company was so amazing that we booked a family trip for a Safari. From the beginning to the very end, every team member was exceptional! Our driver, and now dear friend, Antoni made a profound impression on us the first time and we asked for him to to be a part of our second trip and he was there to pick us up from the airport! It was so amazing to see him again. Every team member has your best interest in mind and will work to their fullest potential to make your trip memorable! So memorable that you will want to go back like we did!

awesome 10/10 experience - Altezza did a fantastic job! Communication was always fast and they worked with us at the last minute to change accommodations and made sure everything ran smoothly. After booking the trip, Altezza took care of everything -- accommodations, transportation, and meals were all great. Our safari guide Anold was fantastic and I would highly recommend that you request him! We couldnt have asked for a better experience.

Amazing Safari!! - Our trip with Altezza travel was nothing short of perfect. We were picked up from Kilimanjaro Airport and from then on we were treated with the best experience imaginable. We were transfered to the Gran Melia Hotel in Arusha for a night which is a very nice place. Our guide, Anold picked us up the next morning for our Safari. He was very knowledgeable and could speak a few languages. He was able to show us all the animals we wanted to see plus thousands of others! We stayed one night in Mawe Mawe Manyara Lodge and then two more nights at the Sound of Silence Tented Lodge. They both had great food, atmosphere, and especially great people taking care of us. I wish we could have stayed a couple more nights at Sound of Silence. It was fascinating to listen to the animals at night and we even had an elephant in our "backyard" one morning. I would recommend Altezza for a Safari. We will definitely do this again!

Views of a lifetime, the bumpy ride is free of charge! - Our group of four added on these safari days as recovery from our Kilimanjaro climb with Altezza (Lemosho 7-day, reviewed separately). It was so nice to have the same company arrange the seamless transition from our hike to the safari.
The logistics for the safari days were just as impressive and smooth as the hiking. Ebenezer picked us up at Aishi-Machame hotel (our start-end point for the hike) and drove us safely to Arusha; the Grand Melia hotel (and the massage spa!) was wonderfully comfortable after the week on the mountain. It was convenient to have the same driver, Humphrey, for our multiple safari days. We had some long days on the road, but he kept us as safe and comfortable as possible with our many hours of "African massage." We saw a wonderful variety of wildlife across the three park areas. The lodging locations were interesting, wonderfully remote, and meals were very good. We had very filling box lunches from the hotels (put the sandwiches in the cooler first thing!) I could have stayed at Karibu/ Sametu for much longer! Because we ended in Arusha, it was handy to be able to store luggage at the Grand Melia to save carrying around our heavy hiking gear during our safari days.
The balloon ride with Miracle Experience was a wonderful suggestion by Maria, a spectacular experience, and well worth the extra cost. I recommend verifying your balloon reservation 1-2 days ahead - our pickup was the wrong hotel, but quickly fixed. We were picked up early in the morning as planned and all coordination went smoothly. The company was very well organized with clear information to keep it a safe and memorable experience. The meal in the bush after the ride was nicely set up, delicious, and added to the whole experience.
To save time and many hours on the bumpy roads, we took a small plane from the Karibu Seronera airstrip in the Serengeti back to Arusha. The cost was reasonable and made the last morning in the bush more relaxing - we even saw three lions on the way to the little airport.
If you are in Tanzania for the Kilimanjaro hike, I highly recommend adding on four days in the safari parks.

Altezza Guide Allan did not disappoint! - My adult son, his finance, and I just returned from our trip to Africa. The four-day Tanzania safari blew us away! Altezza does a masterful job with the logistics. From airport transfers to meals to lodging to park entrance fees, Altezza creates a fluid process. Our guide, Allan, was clearly a subject matter expert. Allan had a vast knowledge of not only the animals we encountered but also of the geography and habitats of the animals were observed. We were very fortunate to see a wide range of animals (including the so-called "Big 5") as well as the beauty of Tanzania. The safari was clearly an experience of a lifetime for us. Many thanks to Altezza and Allan for making this dream a reality for us!

The most incredible experience - We have had the most amazing time on safari! Cathbert was an amazing tour guide and I would recommend Altezza and especially catherbert to everyone else.
Altezza booked everything for us and kept in regular contact, I was in contact with them via WhatsApp and any questions I had they would come back with a really quick response and if they weren’t sure they would make sure they find out and get back to me
Our tour guide Cathbert for safari was so knowledgeable and gave us information about all animals we saw, any question we had he was able to answer. He put all of his effort into making sure we saw all of the animals. Within the first 2 days we saw the big five! His eye sight is amazing and without having catherbert as our driver we would have missed some of the animals that were a little further away. Catherbert was very approachable and has a great sense of humour which really made our experience

Perfect safari experience from start to finish! - Perfect from start to finish! Beginning with my first outreach to Altezza to my last transfer from the beautiful Gran Melia Arusha to Kilimanjaro Airport, every detail and every interaction was exceptional. This was a three-day safari w, with one day each spent at the Arusha National Park, the Tarangire National Park and Ngorongoro National
Park. The first night and the fourth night were spent at the beautiful Gran Malia Arusha. This was a great property to relax at and both prepare and decompress from this amazing safari experience. The second night at Rivertrees Country in provided yet another unique and different overnight experience with the large individual cottages and enjoyable large outdoor dining area - all right on the Usa River. The third night’s lodging at Manyara’s Secret was truly beyond words. The individual cottages were huge with their own splash pools, all overlooking Lake Manyara. The initial approach & entrant is breathtaking. But all this said, what truly stood out was the staff. From the office staff I engaged with to arrange the safari (thanks Nat) to my transfer drivers (Pascal & Joseph) to my exceptional guide Noel. Everyone was kind, knowledgeable!

Amazing Altezza - Anastasia from Altezza Travel planned our entire 2 week Tanzania tour and Safari trip which took place in December 2024. From the moment we got in touch with her to begin the planning the customer service we received was impeccable. Any questions or concerns were answered within hours (no matter how many times they were asked). The planning and attention to detail was superb.
From the moment we were picked up at the airport on Day 1 until we were dropped off on Day 14 we were treated like royalty. Our safari guide Anold Mosha was pleasant, charming, extremely knowledgeable, and amenable and as a bonus we thoroughly enjoyed his singing. We would highly recommend Altezza and their whole crew. Thank you for an amazing vacation.

Exceptional Serengeti Safari Experience - We did a 4 day safari in central and northern Serengeti with Altezza after we finished a 7 day Lemosho hike (also with Altezza). Our planner Sophia did a great job helping us decide what areas we wanted to visit and where we wanted to stay. Our safari guide Noel was very knowledgeable and friendly and was able to find us amazing animal sightings at every turn. This part of our trip was a perfect peaceful ending to our very active Kili hike before and we couldn’t have asked for more - I highly recommend Altezza for your Tanzania safari experience (and Kili hike if you are doing that before - I wrote a separate review for that).
