Aishi Machame

As the Pandemic made international travel difficult, my friends and I identified Tanzania as one of the few countries that we could all visit without having to quarantine. I found Altezza at the beginning of January and knew that we didn't have much time to plan our trip with our desired start date of February 6th. Altezza owns and operates Aishi Machame Hotel, which provided a lovely start to our Kili adventure. Altezza picked us up at Kilimanjaro International Airport and Joseph drove us to the Aishi Machame Hotel in a car with WIFI. He spoke perfect English and helped explain the region to us. Despite arriving around 8pm, Julia and Tony, greeted us at the Hotel, showed us to our room, helped us get dinner, and did a thorough equipment check with us. Tony's equipment recommendations were really helpful and ensured that we were setup for success on the mountain. The Aishi Machame Hotel is delightful and accents the Africa experience while offering great accommodations. My friends and I stayed in a three-person room and I was very impressed with the room, shower pressure, hot water, and linens. The restaurant features a three course menu with a couple of options for each course. The food was delicious! Finally, the grounds of the hotel are beautiful and we saw several monkeys, which was fun. Altezza climbs includes lodging, breakfast, and transportation back to the airport too!

Tranquil out setting. We stayed in the Aishe Machame Hotel 3 days prior and 2 days after the Kilimanjaro expedition. The hotel was truly amazing and located in a peaceful place and helped to calm down our mind prior to the expedition. Food was awesome and service exceptional.

We selected this property in conjunction with our Kilimanjaro trek with Altezza Travel. We were not disappointed. The hotel is like an oasis, hidden off the main road. It is completely secure. The rooms (although not air conditioned) are quite comfortable. Breakfast is included, and is quite good. Lunch and dinner are reasonably priced and tasty, and the small bar provides nice drinks at nicer prices! Very nice pool. The staff is very friendly and helpful.

Very comfortable beds. Great setting with the hotel situated on expanded garden grounds with monkeys and birds and water fountains scattered in the area. Very helpful staff and great food. Coffee is particularly recommended :) I stayed in the hotel after a long 7 day hike to the peak of Kilimanjaro
