The journey is the destination.

On Mount Kilimanjaro, it’s not just about the summit; it’s about the mindfulness between footsteps, the ever-changing landscapes, and the stories written in the memories created.

No plans. No maps. Just explore.

Some stories never lose their power to inspire. And today, we want to introduce you to one of them.

Meet Angela Vorobyova, a retired teacher from Ulan-Ude, Russia. In 2015, at the age of 86, Angela climbed Mount Kilimanjaro – becoming the oldest person ever to reach the “Roof of Africa.” Her incredible achievement earned her a place in the Guinness World Records.

Angela’s journey was anything but easy. Accompanied by her daughter Vera and a 14-men strong crew from Altezza Travel, she faced pouring rain and slippery mountain trails nearly the entire way. But even exhaustion and harsh weather couldn't stop her. At 4,000 meters (13,100 feet) above sea level, she even danced a tango with her guide.

The date of her summit wasn’t random either. Angela reached the peak on October 29 – the birthday of her sister Lidia, who tragically passed away at just 12 years old. Angela dedicated the climb to her, fulfilling a lifelong promise to travel for the both of them. Before coming to Tanzania, she had already explored Australia, the Great Barrier Reef, and the Andes.

There were no staged moments or cameras chasing drama. Just rain, determination, and the will to stand atop Africa’s highest point at 5,895 meters (19,341 feet).

Angela is now 96 and writing a book about her adventures – and we’re proud to support her in bringing it to life.

A rare sighting in Arusha National Park 🦒🦒🦒🦒

We spotted this group in Arusha National Park, one of the few places in northern Tanzania where you can see lakes, forest, and even Mt. Meru in the background.

Seeing giraffes walk through water like this is rare, and makes moments like this feel extra special.

📍Arusha National Park is it added to your itinerary?

Altezza Travel recognized as the largest taxpayer in the Kilimanjaro region.

Altezza Travel is based in Moshi, at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro. For over 10 years, we have lived and worked in Tanzania, developing tourism and contributing to the local economy through taxes.

In February 2025, the Tanzania Revenue Authority honored companies making significant contributions to the region’s economic growth. Altezza Travel received the highest recognition, becoming the largest taxpayer in Kilimanjaro, contributing $1.2 million in taxes for the year 2024.

We are proud that the taxes we pay help build schools, hospitals, social infrastructure, and conservation projects across the country. For us, this recognition is not simply an award — it reflects years of honest, dedicated work and shows we're on the right track.

By choosing Altezza Travel, you personally contribute to protecting endangered ecosystems and improving people's lives. This is more than a holiday — it's a journey that makes a real difference.

Moments like this are what make Lake Natron an unforgettable tourist destination in Tanzania.

The great Ol Doinyo Lengai or “Mountain of God”, is the only active volcano in East Africa.

It is incredibly sacred to the Maasai people and provides an incredible backdrop to Lake Natron.
