    Excellent

    Everything about this experience was absolutely amazing, from the very beginning of the organization all the way to Summit Day! Every little detail was taken care of, and the team went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. Every wish was fulfilled, and we always felt safe, comfortable, and well looked after. A huge shoutout to the incredible Giraffe Group crew! These people are truly exceptional. Not only are they extremely professional and hardworking, but they are also some of the kindest, most genuine, and inspiring people I have ever met. Amos, Paul, Hassan, Gama, Shiwaibu, and Fitiael (Maturro) – you guys are absolute legends! Your dedication, positive energy, kindness, and support made this adventure something I will never forget. And of course, a massive THANK YOU to all the amazing porters! These guys are the real heroes of the mountain. Their strength, hard work, and constant smiles are simply unbelievable. I have so much respect and appreciation for every single one of them. This was so much more than just a hike. It was an unforgettable journey made special by extraordinary people

    The best in Kilimanjaro for trekking and safaris!

    Altezza Travel was absolutely phenomenal from beginning to end. We used them to plan our Kilimanjaro trek as well as our safari experience afterward, and the entire trip could not have been easier from a traveler’s perspective. They coordinated everything for us, including hotels, transportation between locations, the trek itself, and the safari. We were able to simply enjoy the experience without worrying about logistics, and every transition felt organized, professional, and seamless. Victoria, our planning agent, was a 10/10 in making this trip a success. The Kilimanjaro portion was where Altezza truly blew us away. We had, by far, the best and most experienced guides on the mountain. Our lead guides, Abraham K.P. and Frank Malisa, were simply incredible. Both had more than 300 summits, and it quickly became obvious that they were extremely well known and respected among the other guides and local staff on the mountain. We thought they were the best guides there, and throughout the trek, other people repeatedly told us the same thing. More importantly, we felt exceptionally safe with them. Their experience, judgment, pacing, communication, and attention to our health gave us an enormous amount of confidence throughout the climb. Looking around at other trekking groups, we genuinely felt that Altezza provided the safest and most professional operation on the mountain. The rest of the crew was equally special. Altezza provided an amazing support team, excellent food, great accommodations, and safe, high-quality hotels throughout the trip. We also came to really appreciate Altezza's commitment to paying its local staff fairly. After spending so much time with the guides, porters, cooks, and support staff, that became incredibly important to us. These were wonderful people who worked unbelievably hard and played a huge role in making the experience so memorable. Our safari experience was just as seamless and well organized, and having Altezza coordinate the entire itinerary made what could have been a complicated international trip incredibly easy. We cannot recommend Altezza highly enough. The organization, safety, professionalism, quality of the staff, and overall experience exceeded every expectation we had. We would quite literally not return for another Kilimanjaro or Tanzania trip unless we could book it through Altezza again. They were that good.

    An unforgettable journey up Kilimanjaro with Altezza

    Being mostly day hikers ourselves, a hike up Kilimanjaro is definitely something we didn’t think we could achieve but the amazing guides and staff at Altezza made the impossible possible for us! From customizing our climb to match our limited time, to providing literally every available comfort on the mountain, and a truly trustworthy staff to take care of every aspect of our trek, Altezza surpassed our highest expectations. Climbing a >19000ft mountain is no small feat and we wouldn’t have made it even halfway up the mountain without our amazing team who not only kept us sane but who looked out for us and rooted for us with every painstaking step up the mountain. While virtually everyone deserves a shout out from our team, we’re grateful to Badru and Dionis who literally forced us to eat despite the altitude knowing that we couldn’t summit without it! Of everyone with us though, our guides, Frances and Godson were the true heroes of our climb! They kept us laughing when the walks got long, kept us safe through the altitudes and the sometimes tricky paths and kept us hyped and motivated, often even going as far as to sing to us at our lowest points! — through the brutal summit night, never once giving up on us even when we came close giving in ourselves! Thank you Altezza and especially Frances and Godson for these truly incredible moments that will be the highlight of lives for a long time to come!

    Amazing Kilimanjaro Experience with Altezza Travel ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    I had an amazing Kilimanjaro experience with Altezza Travel. From the very first day I contacted them, throughout the climb, and all the way until my departure from Kilimanjaro Airport, everything was seamless, smooth, and very well organized. I had an unforgettable 6-day / 5-night journey to the summit of Kilimanjaro with an incredible Altezza team. The entire crew was highly professional, organized, and genuinely hospitable. A huge thank you to the porters, chef, camp masters, and everyone behind the scenes who worked so hard to make the experience comfortable and memorable. Special thanks to our guides Daud, Filippo, Ayyub, Juma, Wilson, and Noel for their support, encouragement, professionalism, and positive energy throughout the climb. Reaching the summit was an incredible experience, and the Altezza team played a huge part in making it possible. Highly recommended to anyone planning to climb Kilimanjaro! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    Unforgettable Memories on Kilimanjaro

    Unforgettable Memories on Kilimanjaro My husband, seven other family members, and I recently climbed the Lemosho route and created memories that will last a lifetime. What I initially planned as a great hiking adventure turned into something far greater than I ever could have imagined. From day one, our Altezza team was incredible. Our lead guide, Albert was a great leader and took great care of us, along with our other guides Julius, Eliakim, Augrey, and Elineema all of who showed exceptional individual care of each of us. They made sure we were well prepared for every leg of the journey. Right from the start, it felt like a true team effort, and we knew we were going to reach the summit together. Camp life was seamlessly organized thanks to Paul and Athuman, who managed every daily detail. The food was outstanding; our chefs, Albert and Benson, put incredible thought and effort into every meal. Our servers, Seif and Patrick, took fantastic care of us, and we loved getting to know them. We also opted for private camp toilets, which I highly recommend, our porters Oscar and Muhidini kept them clean and ready throughout the trek. While I wish I could name every single one of our porters who made this journey possible, every member of the crew was truly amazing. I set out expecting to climb a mountain, but what truly defined this trip were the incredible people and the care we felt every single step of the way. I will never forget my time with our Altezza family. Thank you!

    Who is Kilimanjaro climb, Lemosho Route (6-day) best for?

    Is Kilimanjaro climb, Lemosho Route (6-day) good value?

    +

    It is fairly priced. It starts at $3,452, close to the $3,530 typical for similar experiences in Moshi.

    How much does Kilimanjaro climb, Lemosho Route (6-day) cost?

    +

    Prices start at $3,452 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Moshi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Kilimanjaro climb, Lemosho Route (6-day) take?

    +

    Plan for about 192 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Moshi is not rushed.

    Is Kilimanjaro climb, Lemosho Route (6-day) worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 88 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 159 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Moshi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Kilimanjaro climb, Lemosho Route (6-day)?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Kilimanjaro climb, Lemosho Route (6-day) suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 192-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Kilimanjaro climb, Lemosho Route (6-day)?

    +

    Around 56 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Moshi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Moshi and add a light layer if any part of the 192-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Moshi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Moshi?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Moshi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Materuni Waterfall, Coffee Tour and Picnic Hot Lunch, Materuni Waterfall and Coffee Plantation Half Day Tour, Kilimanjaro climb, Machame Route (7-day). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Moshi?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Moshi?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
