We arranged our whole trip via Altezza, this included a private group climb to Kilimanjaro Summit via Marangu Route, 2 day stay at an alternative hotel and a 2 day Safari trip with a stay in a Safari Lodge.
Prior to booking, Altezza provided detailed information about the various options for our trip, adapting this to meet our individual needs. The trip coordinator, Denis, was extremely helpful and had good knowledge and advice to guide us throughout our booking to ensure we made the most of our trip.
Communication throughout was excellent, this included instructions prior to arriving, including a detailed itinerary, details of what to expect and packing lists for all planned activities. The communication continued throughout our trip with regular text messages confirming arrangements and check in’s to see how our trip was progressing.
The trip was well organised and couldn’t have gone any smoother, from airport transfers to hotel transfers and trips.
All staff from trip coordinators, guides, porters, chefs and drivers were incredible.
Kilimanjaro – The guides (Stanford’s Team) were incredible. They had great knowledge of the mountain and local area which they shared with us. They ensured we remained motivated with encouragement and regular songs to keep spirits high. Our safety and wellbeing was a priority for them, regular medical checks (2x per day), medical kit available at all times if needed and amendments to walks based off our needs. With their support the whole group managed to summit Kilimanjaro. Altezza went the extra mile and provided us with personalised camping mugs, hot water bottles and fizz at the top of Uhuru Peak!
The route we chose meant our accommodation were Hut’s, these are basic however comfortable and a great alternative to camping, especially having done it in rainy season.
Food throughout the trip was plentiful, various food options provided and catered for Vegan/ Vegetarian and Gluten Free. What they can cook up there is nothing short of amazing!
The whole group can say that Altezza were absolutely incredible and the trip would not have been the same without them. I couldn’t recommend Altezza enough, our experience has been amazing.
