Altezza Travel Contacts

I was impressed by Altezza even before I arrived, as having an agent to help with planning who was in a similar time-zone made a huge difference. And the quality of this company was apparent as soon as I landed in Tanzania. All of their hotel and lodge recommendations were excellent as well (reviewed separately). Lots of online follow up and support.

However, I knew they were the best when I got in their identical to those from other companies, Altezza vehicles are very different inside. They are the sole company which has only 4 seats, while all the others have 6 seats (and much less leg room for this reason). This made a giant difference to our experience, as we were often in the Land Cruiser for 8 hours or more on various safari expeditions. Being able to stretch, lean the seat back, and have our bags transported, made a huge difference. Yes, it makes the transportation a bit more expensive, but absolutely worth every penny. I looked at multiple other vehicles while traveling, and none of them had only 4 seats. Kudos to Altezza.

The second reason I rapidly became aware of how excellent they are is when we met Daniel, our guide/driver. Firstly, not only was his English outstanding, and secondly his knowledge was exceptional (he had a degree in wildlife management), but on top of this he is also an outstanding wildlife photographer who has published a book of photos. He was with us every step of our 6-day safari and enhanced it in every way possible. This included sharing with us the photos he took with us (far superior to ours), which has really elevated our memories of this trip and provided photographs that we can share with others (some examples of his photos are attached).

In conclusion, there are multiple reasons why Altezza is the best company to go on Safari with, but I suggest that if you are going for 4-days or more you also try and ask for Daniel specifically for an even more amazing experience.

I had a fantastic experience booking a 10 day vacation in Tanzania with Altezza, which included 6 days of Safari + 3 days in Zanzibar. Everybody from Altezza I interacted with was very helpful and professional. The travel manager (Aiman) was very responsive helpful to book my custom itinerary. During the actual trip, another travel manager (Victoria) stepped in, and she was also extremely helpful and responsive. My whole stay in Tanzania was stress free, as Altezza handled all the hotel bookings, flights from the Tanzania mainland to Zanzibar, airport transfers and the safari itself.

The safari was an unforgettable experience. Seeing so much wildlife in their natural habitat was truly awesome. Special shout out to our driver/guide, Paschal, who is an expert driver and extremely knowledgeable about the Tanzanian fauna and flora. It was a pleasure having him as our safari guide. Also, Altezza’s car was kept in excellent condition (cleaned inside and out every day, even in the middle of the savannah). For small groups (up to 4 people), Altezza’s cars have an advantage over most of the other safari cars I saw in my trip: they’re all the same size, but Altezza’s car has 4 seats while all of the other cars I saw had 6, so we had more legroom. Nice!

All in all, I highly recommend Altezza for a safari trip in Tanzania!
