The International Climbing and Mountaineering Federation, the UIAA, and Altezza Travel, a leading Mt Kilimanjaro operator, are delighted to extend their partnership through to the end of 2028.
The UIAA and Altezza Travel, whose partnership commenced in 2025, have agreed to continue to collaborate and promote activities in the field of sustainability. This includes two of the UIAA’s most prominent projects – the biennial Mountain Protection Award and the federation’s Climate Action Plans.
Founded in 2014, Altezza Travel is a Tanzania-based tour operator with over a decade of experience in Kilimanjaro climbs and wildlife safaris, trusted for its exceptional service, safety, and local expertise. Social responsibility initiatives dedicated to the community and environment are closely tied to Altezza’s guiding services. On Kilimanjaro itself, Altezza is the largest outfitter and a Leave No Trace advocate and has started several forest restoration projects. In 2025 it became the first B Corp in the industry.
“We have really enjoyed collaborating with Altezza Travel since the start of our partnership in 2025. Altezza Travel will continue to support the UIAA’s sustainability projects as well as initiatives related to climbing and mountaineering in Africa. We thank Altezza Travel for their support of the UIAA and our global activities.”
